We performed a comparison between Cisco IOS Security and Commvault Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It's very easy to set up, it's very easy to make policies and, for an organization, that means you don't need IT expert in firewalls. You just need to have somebody who knows a little bit of IT, and that's it. With other products, you need someone with a "Masters" degree in firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features are the possibility of having one fabric for switching on security."
"I think that the UTM features are the most value, as it truly protects my infrastructure."
"Its performance in fulfilling our requirements has been satisfactory."
"Fortigate's most valuable feature is that it doesn't need a push policy when writing rules."
"The management console is pretty simple, so anyone who understands networking can initially deploy the solution."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"Completely integrates branch offices with perimeter security."
"The most valuable features of Cisco IOS Security are the plenty of functionality it provides, many people are IT certified the usage, and the user interface is good."
"I've found their network routing to be very good."
"Previously, anyone in the organization would see any data point in the wall. They could just go and connect their machine with that data point and could access the network. But now, even if someone came and tried that, they will not be given access."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco IOS Security is posturing."
"Cisco IOS Security increases the overall security of our network, performs authentication, and provides level 15 access and privileges."
"Cisco products are very secure and integrate easily with other devices."
"The technical support is good."
"What I find valuable is restoring the complete server. Restoring files is also valuable, but I like restoring the server because you don't have to rebuild a new one."
"Scalability, as well as stability, are a couple of important parts of this solution."
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"Commvault HyperScale X is also a good choice for regulations that require the backup system to be isolated from the rest of the infrastructure."
"Security measures, including encryption and threat detection, contribute significantly to data protection, safeguarding against unauthorized access and cyber threats."
"The Wi-Fi controller needs a lot of improvement."
"I would like to see a more intuitive dashboard."
"The improvement is related to logs. Instead of the CLI, we should be able to have more insights into the logs of the firewall in the GUI."
"Security is a continuous process. In every product, there is a requirement for improvement. Its pricing should also be improved according to Indian market requirements. They must also improve on the reporting part. Its reporting can be more precise. If we can get a real-time report in a specific format, it will be helpful for customers to know about the current status of their security."
"FortiGate is really good. We have been using it for quite some time. Initially, when we started off, we had around 70 plus devices of FortiGate, but then Check Point and Palo Alto took over the place. From the product perspective, there are no issues, but from the account perspective, we have had issues. Fortinet's presence in our company is very less. I don't see any Fortinet account managers talking to us, and that presence has diluted in the last two and a half or three years. We have close to 1,500 firewalls. Out of these, 60% of firewalls are from Palo Alto, and a few firewalls are from Check Point. FortiGate firewalls are very less now. It is not because of the product; it is because of the relationship. I don't think they had a good relationship with us, and there was some kind of disconnect for a very long time. The relationship between their accounts team and my leadership team seems to be the reason for phasing out FortiGate."
"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"We had a minor problem where there was a major system upgrade on the hardware platfrom and the Mac client was not available as soon as it might have been. The PC client was available immediately, but we had to wait a month or so, before there was a mac client. I was slightly irritated that it was not ready on time, but it was eventually resolved."
"The pricing is the only con for this product."
"The configuration should be easier in the solution."
"The solution is not user friendly and it is hard to manage the GUI interface."
"Most of their features are meant for Cisco. You cannot integrate them with any other vendor."
"Cisco is an expensive firewall, so the pricing can be improved."
"We faced significant challenges related to licensing issues, particularly when licenses expire."
"Cisco IOS Security's monitoring is rather rudimentary and could be improved."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions."
"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old. For example, the SSD disks for our application database are slow. It's hard to avoid a slowdown in our environment because the size of our backups is growing every year. If you're growing and don't upgrade the environment, you will see slower backups and restores. You must enhance the environment if you are growing."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
"The tool should revise its licensing."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"The most common feedback I get in terms of Commvault is that it can be complex. I always refer my customers back to their own environment. Almost everything that goes into Commvault is a request by a customer. While it can be complex, it can also be very simple. You just need to understand your environment in order to make sure that you really need to turn on that extra feature or thing inside of Commvault. Maybe you don't need those things. It really depends on how simple or complex your environment is, whether you need all of Commvault's features."
"Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console."
"The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time."
