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 scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"Fortinet FortiGate is scalable for our users. Right now, we have almost 70 users. We do not have any plan to increase our usage of FortiGate. For maintaining the firewall solution, one staff member is enough."
"Fortigate represents a really scalable way of delivering perimeter network security, some level of layer 7 security, WAF, and also a way to create a meshed ADVPN solution."
"The solution is stable."
"In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"There is an easy process for configuring it, and it is straightforward to implement the device from scratch."
"It can expand easily."
"User-friendly and affordable security solution that's recommended for SMB customers. This solution has good technical support."
"We use the product for firewalls."
"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 is head-and-shoulders above all of the competition when it comes to technical support."
"The product is easy to use."
"Cisco IOS allows us to keep the same security features as our principal offices."
"We use Cisco IOS Security mostly for routers to route off the firewall. It's a next-generation device."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"Cisco IOS Security is a mature product with extensive capabilities, serving as the base for the defense layer. It offers good network visibility, which helps in rapid response through the Rapid Threat Containment feature. Its deployment and configuration are straightforward."
"It's easy to configure multiple jobs and media agent locations for each server. We do offsite backups for all of our servers, but we also do onsite hourly backups of them. That has benefited us several times when we had an incident and didn't want to roll back a server an entire day."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."
"The Command Center is provided from the web interface. You can back up the data for everybody, but also you can give everybody the ability to view and restore their data. For example, if a laptop, machine, or environment is owned by X, then X can look in and see the environment and data that he has backed up. He can see everything that he owns and can manage the environment as he wishes. It gives him an excellent view of his environment and infrastructure. Also, if you are a service provider, you can back up data for multiple companies and give everyone an interface for their environment to manage, backup, and restore data. Commvault has done excellent work in this area."
"Scalability, as well as stability, are a couple of important parts of this solution."
"Commvault is a very stable product."
"We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques."
"The solution is very stable and offers a good level of performance."
"Commvault provides data protection. Their engine is ransomware-agnostic so ransomware doesn't compromise our backup data. Therefore, we can rely on their data protection to recover and back up our production system."
"I would prefer to have more detailed logs within the FortiGate products themselves rather than relying on a separate tool."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"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."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"There are problems with the custom reporting of the unique traffic. The data is there, but it is too difficult for us to extract."
"The pricing could be reduced or include the first year warranty."
"The solution is not user friendly and it is hard to manage the GUI interface."
"We need to pay for the license and it is expensive."
"Cisco is an expensive firewall, so the pricing can be improved."
"Sometimes I find it difficult to manage. Some configurations are difficult for new engineers, for example."
"There could be a bit more functions on offer that could make it easier to use."
"Cisco IOS Security's monitoring is rather rudimentary and could be improved."
"Cisco very slowly introduces and implements the products, unlike other brands."
"Most of their features are meant for Cisco. You cannot integrate them with any other vendor."
"Could be easier to implement."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
"Compared to Rubrik, MongoDB Data Protector, and NetBackup, Commvault is better. The licensing team was quite tricky recently because they stopped the unlimited files for that license. Commvault made a bank of 500GB only, a node-based license can take it, which is disappointing. Reporting needs to be more granular. Also, there should be a showback of data being backed up, and the backup cost to share the cost internally with the department."
"The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms."
"It would be a bit unfair to say that it's complex, due to the fact that it supports so many different workloads, however, if there's anything that is a bit of a shortcoming, then it's the fact that there's a bit of complexity involved when dealing with the product."
"Reduce the complexity for better understanding of the reports. There are a lot of variables in which you can get confused while elaborating on reports."
"Additional SaaS application support would be good... we have SaaS applications that may not be big enough for Commvault to support yet. Box.com is one we've asked about for years, and it's just not on the radar, as far as I know."
"I would assess the Command Center as a very useful but sometimes difficult tool. It is multipurpose. It has all the features of logging and monitoring, especially for the actual setup. For us, it is easy because we work daily with it, but for customers who only use it once a week, they sometimes have some difficulties. Command Center is not user-friendly for beginners."
