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."FortiGate firewalls are easy to manage through a user-friendly web interface. They also have advanced features like DDoS and DLP. However, I wouldn't recommend enabling all of these features on one device because it can cause performance issues."
"It has improved our organization with control data."
"The IPS is good. It protect my network from attackers."
"The reporting you receive out of this appliance is excellent. You will not need an external management system."
"User-friendly and affordable security solution that's recommended for SMB customers. This solution has good technical support."
"It performs very well."
"The most important features with FortiGate are the web filter and application controls. We can control our internet usage and use the web filter for application purposes."
"The tool is a nice product and easy to handle. The software's user interface is also good. You can easily implement remote access in the solution."
"The VPN connection portal scan works flawlessly, which was a big plus for us."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Cisco IOS Security has many good features, but compared to other solutions, it has a more user-friendly interface with steps to apply and manage rules. Another good part of the solution is that it's more straightforward."
"Cisco IOS Security increases the overall security of our network, performs authentication, and provides level 15 access and privileges."
"The stability of this solution is excellent."
"The product has valuable features for business intelligence."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to deal with."
"The hardware is pretty stable. It's also a very good product performance-wise. Initially, it wasn't mature like a firewall and there were other leaders, but now they have included almost all the features of next-generation security. Basically, it's a good product to work with."
"The most valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X are all the general functions and the performance."
"It provides us a good holistic view of everything that we have backed up so far. It also provides us all the recovery points. If we look at an an object that has been backed up, we can tell how many retention copies it has, how far we can go, and recover any data, if needed."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"Real-time synchronization is a good feature."
"It is just about as flexible as you can get; simple. You can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on-prem or in your cloud. I could see where a team that's looking for more of a follow the bouncy ball type of solution might get a little confused. "Oh, no. What do you mean I might have to do it this way or I can't do it that way?" Sometimes, people just want to be told what to do. For an enterprise environment, like we are at NDOT, everything we do is not standard. It is not industry standard; it is not normal. We have all kinds of one-offs. We do need flexibility in the solutions that we get. I will say that Metallic has been extremely flexible in that sense, where we are able to follow the bouncy ball if we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't. We did it our way and Metallic, as a whole solution, provided that to us with no issues."
"I can collect the target data, then we connect it to Commvault. There is not another system that can connect to our target database or target storage. This is very important for us, because there is the threat of malware right now. This can protect not only the product, but also the backup data from outside threats."
"It's great for getting data back."
"We can go from one page to another page, from office backups to VM backups, or applications like secret backups. So everything can be configured or restored from a single pin."
"I need user-behavior analytics, to find threat scenarios from inside the organization, insider attacks. That would be very helpful for us. In addition, I would like next-generation features for small and medium businesses. These businesses require UTM, all in one product. Fortinet must include it."
"The firewall engine is not so strong as of now, in my opinion... My second concern is that, while they have Zero-day vulnerability and anti-malware features, the threat engine needs to be strengthened, its efficiency can be increased."
"This product needs to have an analysis feature, rather than having the analysis done through the integration of a different product."
"There are some complex administration tasks in their administration portal. That needs to be improved."
"The search tool needs improvement. It's very difficult to search for policies right now."
"The debugging and troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"The scalability could be better."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Cisco is a scalable product, but it is expensive compared to other vendors."
"I think they should bring back remote VPN for users."
"Cisco IOS Security could improve by having more compatibility with other Cisco solutions."
"The solution is not user friendly and it is hard to manage the GUI interface."
"We faced significant challenges related to licensing issues, particularly when licenses expire."
"An area for improvement in Cisco IOS Security is the performance because it's not as stable sometimes. There's also some latency in the solution, which could be improved. Cisco IOS Security integrates with other solutions, but you'll encounter many errors after integration, so this is another area for improvement. I'd like to see enhanced performance and a simplified setup in the next version of Cisco IOS Security."
"It would be ideal if the solution had more capacity."
"Cisco IOS Security should improve its functionalities."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"Commvault could benefit from increased automation to streamline processes and enhance predictability."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
