An honest look at where Vaultvec fits against Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity and Acronis — and where it deliberately doesn't compete.
| VENDOR | STORAGE TARGETS | IMMUTABILITY MODEL | BUILT FOR 21 CFR PART 11 / GXP | ZERO-KNOWLEDGE ENCRYPTION |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vaultvec | Azure Blob / S3-compatible object storage | Storage-enforced WORM + app-level lock | Built-in — audit vault, GxP records, AI reports | Yes — client-side, keys never leave you |
| Veeam | S3 / Azure Blob / hardened repo | Storage-layer WORM (Object Lock / Blob WORM) | General-purpose (DIY compliance) | At-rest (storage-side) |
| Commvault | S3 / Azure Blob | Air-gap + WORM copies | General-purpose | At-rest (storage-side) |
| Rubrik | Own appliance + cloud tier | Immutable-by-architecture | General-purpose | At-rest (platform) |
| Cohesity | Own platform + cloud tier | WORM by architecture / snapshot lock | General-purpose | At-rest (platform) |
| Acronis | Cloud / object storage | Cloud storage immutability | General-purpose (+ endpoint security) | At-rest (storage-side) |

We're upfront about this. If you need to protect thousands of mixed workloads at petabyte scale today, a mature platform may fit better. If your priority is provable pharma compliance, that's exactly what Vaultvec is built for.
