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."The secure web gateway module and the application control module are valuable. HA operations are very easy."
"Some of the valuable features are the firewall, IPS, web filter, and gateway capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to use and flexible."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"It's very fast and easy to configure."
"I think that the UTM features are the most value, as it truly protects my infrastructure."
"The web tutor and automatic rules by schedule are good features."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is security. They are known for efficiency and are on the top of Gartner Quadrant reviews. Fortinet FortiGate has an easy-to-use platform with a good graphical interface. The configuration is simple and the solution provides an overall good layer of security."
"This product is definitely scalable."
"The most valuable features are DNS service and shell self-service within a network."
"I've found their network routing to be very good."
"You can scale it when you need to."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The technical support is good."
"The product's stability is good."
"The solution effectively integrates with Umbrella."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"Security measures, including encryption and threat detection, contribute significantly to data protection, safeguarding against unauthorized access and cyber threats."
"The most valuable feature is sharing data sets like they're in a private cloud. We call it our "private cloud" because we can share anything that is inside our backup set with our colleagues or with other people, and yet, everything is still in Belgrade, in Serbia. It's not somewhere else on cloud servers. Everything is in our environment."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"The solution also provides me with a complete view of our data. I write scripts to report information from the Command Center daily. I report it in HTML and have the status of the last day for the whole environment."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"Technical support is great."
"We have multiple workloads, including SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, especially Sybase, as well as file systems, VMs, and Exchange mailboxes. Commvault provides very good support for them."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"NGN, reporting and controls."
"The Web-filter in this solution is not very good."
"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"The UTM filtering needs improvement."
"Fortinet FortiGate should improve the VPN tokens."
"Fortinet currently has many products bundled with FortiGate including the basic firewall and load balancer, and I think that that they need to have separate product portfolios for each of these specialized services."
"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"I wish it would be more like the next generation firewall technology. There should be more selection between the application and filtering."
"I think setup could be one area for improvement, because sometimes we don't have people inside so we have to move to the place."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see support for the 100BT and 7000 models."
"Cisco IOS Security's monitoring is rather rudimentary and could be improved."
"The configuration should be easier in the solution."
"Most of their features are meant for Cisco. You cannot integrate them with any other vendor."
"Cisco IOS Security could improve its security features. There are competitors that have some additional security features, such as Fortinet FortiGate. Additionally, there should be better synchronization with Cisco IOS Security and other vendors, and improved AI features would be beneficial."
"Cisco is an expensive firewall, so the pricing can be improved."
"I would like them to keep working on the new web interface to migrate out of the old interface because the old interface is a bit complex. It was driving customers away because of the complexity. If they migrate everything (100 percent of the features), this would make the product be perfect."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier. Sometimes, you need to click two or three times to do something. They should look at what tabs are used most and make them more accessible, to cut the time it takes to get to that information."
"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."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved and made cheaper."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"When you deploy Complete Data Protection for past services, it's more complicated because you cannot directly back up from the previous service host. We have to build a proxy server, like a middleware, to directly access the past database server. It's complex and hard for beginners to figure out."
