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 CLI and GUI do a good job of putting a lot at your fingertips."
"This solution made it very easy to manage our bandwidth."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"A strong point of FortiGate is the graphical interface is complete and easy to use."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"The dashboard I have found the most valuable in Fortinet FortiGate."
"The initial installation is very straightforward."
"All of the features of Fortinet FortiGate are useful and the security protection is good."
"The Intrusion Firewall is a valuable feature."
"One of the valuable features of the solution is its flexibility and it performs great."
"Cisco IOS Security is very robust and works very well."
"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."
"The stability of this solution is excellent."
"Technical support for this solution is very good."
"In Pakistan, we only use Cisco because they have good local support infrastructure. Huawei and Fortinet don't offer direct support in Pakistan."
"Cisco Technical Assistance Center works on a follow-the-sun concept and gives real 24x7 customer support, which is a great advantage when you have a service contract with them."
"The convenience of backing up and restoring simultaneously is very valuable."
"The solution's interface is easy to use. For manageability, it doesn't matter where the resource is coming from or going to. That's the great power of the Control Panel: It's easy to use and does not matter if you manage on-prem or cloud resources."
"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."
"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."
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."
"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."
"It is easy to use and stable. It delivers what has been promised. When it says it can do something, it can actually do it, as opposed to some of its competitors."
"Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more storage in the hardware for log data."
"FortiLink is the interface on the firewall that allows you to extend switch management across all of your switches in the network. The problem with it is that you can't use multiple interfaces unless you set them up in a lag. Only then you can run them. So, it forces you to use a core type of switch to propagate that management out to the rest of the switches, and then it is running the case at 200. It leaves you with 18 ports on the firewall because it is also a layer-three router that could also be used as a switch, but as soon as you do that, you can't really use them. They could do a little bit more clean up in the way the stacking interface works. Some use cases and the documentation on the FortiLink checking interface are a little outdated. I can find stuff on version 5 or more, but it is hard to find information on some of the newer firmware. The biggest thing I would like to see is some improvement in the switch management feature. I would like to be able to relegate some of the ports, which are on the firewall itself, to act as a switch to take advantage of those ports. Some of these firewalls have clarity ports on them. If I can use those, it would mean that I need to buy two less switches, which saves time. I get why they don't, but I would still like to see it because it would save a little bit of space in the server rack."
"They've become quite expensive."
"Currently, without the additional reporting module, we only have access to basic reporting."
"It is quite new for us, and we need to go more in-depth into the monitoring tools. It provides different features that we need to do what we want. So far, it is okay for us. In terms of improvement, in the future, they can provide a faster implementation of features. Some of the features are first available in other solutions. Fortinet sometimes takes a little bit longer than other solutions, such as Check Point, to implement new features."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"The Web-filter in this solution is not very good."
"The product does need better support in the cloud environment. It's not exactly cloud-native right now."
"The initial setup is complicated."
"The solution’s setup process could be better."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see support for the 100BT and 7000 models."
"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."
"Cisco is an expensive firewall, so the pricing can be improved."
"We cannot directly upgrade the system. The tool's deployment is also very difficult in legacy environments. The tool needs to have bigger ports as well."
"We faced significant challenges related to licensing issues, particularly when licenses expire."
"We need to pay for the license and it is expensive."
"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
"They should move the CommServe outside of Windows machines and the database should be distributed among servers. It's still a single point of failure."
"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 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."
"Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"Its technical support could be better."
"The product is expensive."
