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."I like Fortinet FortiGate's antispam filter, SPN, and clustering features."
"The most valuable feature is the VDOM, which allows the customer to have multiple firewalls in a single campus."
"We are using the FortiGate 100D series. VPN, firewall, anti-malware, OTM, and intrusion prevention are useful features."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the SD-WAN and their IP4 policy."
"The product is easy to use and is stable. The SV1 functionality is a benefit."
"The FortiGate controls the user's activities and maximizes my bandwidth use overall."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"I like several features that this product has, such as antivirus and internet navigation inspection. It is also simple to use."
"The product's stability is good."
"There is a positive impact on security, particularly the intrusion feature, which helps keep the solution concealed and secure."
"Cisco IOS Security increases the overall security of our network, performs authentication, and provides level 15 access and privileges."
"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 solution is stable."
"The VPN connection portal scan works flawlessly, which was a big plus for us."
"Cisco has always been a premium product. There's a lot of other entry-level solutions. This is more robust."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to deal with."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."
"It's very easy to set up the storage across all platforms. This allows us to be dynamic and change on-the-fly."
"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"The features I find most helpful in Commvault are its ability to perform incremental backups and significantly reduce backup times for our diverse multi-architecture, multi-environment environment."
"IntelliSnap and file system backups are valuable features."
"The rate of duplication is great."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"Pricing for it is a bit high. It could be cheaper."
"The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"The scalability could be better."
"Reporting is limited to providing an external appliance for improving the reporting capabilities of the FortiAnalyzer. It does not offer a central management and is also sold separably as an appliance."
"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."
"The UTM filtering needs improvement."
"In the balance between links feature normally you can just choose one option to balance. It would be better for the solution to have more than one option, preferably three."
"The graphical user interface or the GUI could be better. Beginners can use some devices with the GUI, but some security devices are configured using CLI. It would also be better if it had its own Intrusion Protection Service and Intrusion Detection Service on the server."
"Most of their features are meant for Cisco. You cannot integrate them with any other vendor."
"Cisco is a scalable product, but it is expensive compared to other vendors."
"I would love it if it has a link-by-link feature, integration with Unified Threat Management (UTM), and load balancers. They haven't got any link-by-link feature right now, which can be a very attractive option. This link-by-link feature can also be made available for Cisco's UTM firewalls. The link-by-link feature is available in some of the other firewalls. Currently, integration with UTM is missing. Cisco IOS Security also doesn't have the load balancers and a few things that need to be done to get a good UTM firewall. Normally, other firewalls have UTM. As a next-generation firewall, it's good, but as a UTM, it has to do some work."
"Cisco IOS Security could improve by having more compatibility with other Cisco solutions."
"The initial setup is complicated."
"I would like to see much more embedded security that works and that isn't a bolt-on."
"There's a technology called SD-WAN that we would like to see. We are unable to handle multiple connections or to automatically load balance. I would like to have a feature that enables us to automatically prepare for load balancing."
"Its technical support could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the Knowledge Base and error reporting. I would like to see best practices in the Knowledge Base, and have the ability to diagnose errors without contacting support."
"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 retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved. The backup schedule can also be better in terms of how you set it up."
"The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do."
"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners."
"We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."
"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."
