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."Whenever I need something, Fortinet improves and updates the software for me."
"SSL-VPN is very useful for us and has been very reliable."
"I really like the captive portal feature for our guest network. It has nice VLAN features in terms of separating our network. The anti-virus is also good."
"FortiGate SD-WAN facilitated a smooth transition for our customers between their two internet service providers, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity without any downtime."
"Fortinet FortiGate protects against internet-based threats, both internal and external. It is scalable, stable, easy to use, and easy to install."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"The integration with Active Directory is one of the good features. Most of the customers are now looking for the Single Sign-on feature. So, being able to integrate Active Directory with the firewall is useful. It is also easy."
"We are able to filter a lot of traffic especially when a lot of the traffic is in layer 7."
"It is less expensive than alternative firewalls."
"The Intrusion Firewall is a valuable feature."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution effectively integrates with Umbrella."
"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 solution is easy to use."
"The VPN was valuable for us because more people are working from home. It has a lot of reporting and easy-to-use management tools."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Complete Data Protection are the complete feature sets it provides in one platform. You are able to backup many different types of data, such as virtual machines, servers, cloud, endpoints, Microsoft Office365, and Gmail. The usage of the solution is flexible."
"Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"The rate of duplication is great."
"It has significantly reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our backup operations. We're going from an on-prem to a non-on-prem, we're all doing nonsolutions. So we really can't compare it against anything else."
"It's very easy to set up the storage across all platforms. This allows us to be dynamic and change on-the-fly."
"What is most valuable to me are the search features, where you can search through large backup data sets and find what you're looking for. Our data sets are so big that we're over the petabyte mark. To find a specific file for a specific user out of 10,000 users is a challenge... If we can glean from them a general description of where it might be, the search feature comes in very handy to actually locate it and restore it for them."
"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."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"Fortinet could improve the windows opener or the virtual IP solutions for opening windows. The virtual IP settings need improvement as firewalls are trending in new development directions."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"The cloud management and automation capability could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"Cisco IOS Security could improve by having more compatibility with other Cisco solutions."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"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."
"The configuration and reporting interfaces need a lot of improvement. It needs to be more accessible forsolide without a strong technical background. If you had a simplified dashboard, the lower-level techs could manage the solution and provide services. Cisco IOS Security requires someone who is highly trained to operate it."
"While Cisco IOS Security is stable and scalable, I would like to see it improved to be even better."
"It takes too much time to deploy a policy to FMC. It takes around eight minutes. You can't afford any downtime when you're changing policies."
"I would like to see much more embedded security that works and that isn't a bolt-on."
"Sometimes I find it difficult to manage. Some configurations are difficult for new engineers, for example."
"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"The product is a bit complex."
"If I were to ask them to work on something, it would be the fidelity of the alerts that occur. They should tell me if it is a real event or not. It is easy for it to identify that something hit it but give me more information. They can build AI into the engine so that I get better output from an alert to tell me if I should really be interested in that or not."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"Setup is complex."
