Commvault Cloud and Fortinet FortiSandbox operate within the data management and cybersecurity spheres respectively. Fortinet FortiSandbox holds a competitive edge in cybersecurity due to strong integration capabilities with other Fortinet offerings and robust threat detection mechanisms.

Features: Commvault Cloud is praised for comprehensive backup and data management, exceptional cloud integration, and automated updates, supporting multiple OSs and applications with a centralized management console. Fortinet FortiSandbox excels in security, particularly advanced threat detection, integration with Fortinet products, and a robust sandboxing feature for analyzing potential threats.

Hybrid backup strategy has improved recovery orchestration and now supports flexible DR planning

I think improvements could be made in Commvault Cloud. Lately what I have seen is that there are AI capabilities that different data protection organizations are coming up with, which basically revolves around tiering of not frequently accessible data to glacier kind of storage, plus bringing in a high level of compression and deduplication capabilities. All those features I believe are there in other customers and they are bringing in new use cases from the AI perspective which I have not recently seen in Commvault. I have seen that Dell does have such features. We recently pitched a solution to the customers where we talked about data tiering and the other AI use cases, identifying the data by itself and autonomously taking decisions on how to tier the data between the different storage classes that we have. Those kind of capabilities that we have proposed to the customer as far as the partner solutions are concerned. I would like to see AI capabilities in Commvault Cloud. The rest of the features pretty much align with the other enterprise solutions that we have in the market. It is just the AI capability that is being asked by the customers as well as that I see missing with Commvault.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Commvault can perform a backup no matter where you are, and it takes a backup every four hours. No matter when you come to the office, it'll take a backup if you're connected to the internet and check the system for online availability."

"All the management is centralized from that CommServe server. You can manage all the clients and all the infrastructure using one interface and one server... Using the Commvault interface, you can customize and generate multiple reports to easily see what is protected and what is not protected in the environment."

"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."

"HyperScale X is really user-friendly and has a lot of features. It's also cheaper, faster, and more stable than its competitors."

"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."

"The compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."

"It never fails. Sometimes we miss a backup, but there's always a reason for it, and it's not the fault of Commvault. In the last three years, we've never had to open a ticket with Commvault."

"The solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration and they are managed by Google support."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"The most valuable feature is the protection and the way it works, the technology is what I like the most."

"The scanner office document as well as PDF are useful. The most valuable thing is that you can emulate different operating systems without having the danger of getting something infected. It emulates several operating systems, and as a result, you either get the file or you don't get the file."

"Fortinet FortiSandbox puts suspicious files in quarantine, analyzes for virus risks, and lets them out of quarantine if it detects no risk."

"The analysis engine is a very valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance it offers to users is good, making it useful for us in our company."

"Overall, it works fine. Its interface is also fine."

"FortiSandbox analyzes the behavior of processes in a sandbox environment, which is useful for threat hunting. The solution has an excellent standard configuration, and you can prioritize the types of files of VMs you want to analyze. It also integrates seamlessly with other Fortinet solutions, like FortiGate, FortiMail, and FortiEMS."

"Fortinet FortiSandbox is faster than other sandbox solutions."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox pros

Cons

"I would like to see AI capabilities in Commvault Cloud. It is just the AI capability that is being asked by the customers as well as that I see missing with Commvault."

"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."

"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old. For example, the SSD disks for our application database are slow. It's hard to avoid a slowdown in our environment because the size of our backups is growing every year. If you're growing and don't upgrade the environment, you will see slower backups and restores. You must enhance the environment if you are growing."

"I would like to have a manager-level dashboard to review the backups. This is not from an administrative perspective where you can see the details of the execution. Rather, it would only show the percentage of completeness for each one."

"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."

"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."

"The only problem is that some of what we snap most of is the VMs. We found about 10% of the VMs that we can't snap because they're too interactive. It actually causes the application to crash."

"Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"It would be better if we could integrate FortiSandbox with endpoint security solutions."

"For the MSSPs, it would be great if the product could display all the threat chains on a dashboard since it is an area where the tool is currently lacking."

"I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release."

"For additional features, maybe a form of execution pain files in a non-virtual environment because it has threats that identify when it is being run in a virtual machine."

"There could be more templates and a higher number of simulated VMs to configure more use cases. Sometimes we need to configure many use cases in many different environments, and if the number of VMs that we configure is limited, we have to remove some and reconfigure the environment if we need another environment."

"The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified."

"Most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product."

"Not practical for real-time web traffic analysis because users won't wait for the FortiSandbox to complete its analysis before accessing content"

More Fortinet FortiSandbox cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Based on the customer's needs, their pricing and model is very confusing sometimes. You need to check with their sales to make sure you are getting the right pricing on whatever you are using. I know that they have simplified a lot regarding the licensing model nowadays, but it is good to always double check and make sure it has everything that you really need."

"In India, this is a very expensive product."

"Compared with other backup technologies, Commvault is a bit more costly, but we are satisfied with the support, the services, and the features that we get with Commvault."

"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."

"It was not very popular because of its previous cost, but they have been working on the pricing, and now anyone can afford to use Commvault. They changed the modeling criteria for their pricing. Previously, there was only the capacity modeling based on your content capacity. In this case, they would give you a license and you would have to pay it. Now, most of the environment is virtualized so you can have the best CPU, VMs, etc. You buy whatever you need and pay for what you need."

"The pricing is fairly in line with the other products we've compared it with recently. We do spend more on it than we did in our Backup Exec days, but it's fairly competitive with some of the other best-in-class data protection platforms."

"The solution is worth the money."

"Originally, it was really attractive when we were deployed on-prem. They have since built and moved it to the cloud, which I am a big fan of. I have all my security tools in the cloud, but it came with a significant increase in pricing. We ended up negotiating a better price because we have been a long-term customer, and I have also spoken on their behalf quite a few times, but if I have to buy it at its current rate, I am not sure if I would be a customer. It is expensive."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The solution is affordable."

"The license for Fortinet FortiSandbox depends on the use case."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSandbox is not expensive."

"The solution is not expensive at all."

"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."

"There is a license to use this solution."

"Fortinet is more reasonable than Palo Alto."

"Fortinet FortiSandbox is a nominally priced product, so I would not say that it is a very cheap tool."
