Easy solution

  • January 25, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It provides effective solutions to institutes, schools, universities, libraries and other learning centers, as far as internet is concerned. With your help, communication between different departments in a study center is more efficient. All connected through the network provided by this company.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has certain security problems that should be fixed. Another drawback that I find with this service is that when searching for a non-existent domain, it sends you to an OpenDNS search space, called OpenDNS Guide, this site shows search results as if the web domain really existed, when in fact it does not it's like that
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connection between the different departments of the university, including the internal schools to this and the library. Facilitating communication between different workers and administrative staff.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to use, easy to configure and manage. It is ideal for institutes, educational centers, libraries, schools and universities, as well as at home. This security improvement fixes certain problems present in previous versions.

DNS on steroids

  • January 17, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
With the new appliances that are available for on-site deployment, being able to integrate with AD for increased granularity in metrics and visibility is superb. They also allow for split DNS processing for internal and external DNS queries which also further harden the DNS infrastructure from client workarounds.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial deployment can be interesting as the permissions required for some of the agent/scripts is not something that may be in place already.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Umbrella allows for the filtering on DNS queries to enhance security at a very base level -- allowing for lower workloads on IPS/firewalls in the organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a try with a good partner, you will not regret it.

Super easy security addition!

  • January 17, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Umbrella when used in conjunction with the on site virtual machines is so fantastically simple to use, it makes deployment a breeze! Deploying the OVAs and pointing your clients to them is as easy as deploy, block and done! Anyone can do it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Generally speaking, Umbrella is a bit on the slow side to update clients with new security settings. While I do realize the time is also dependent on your own network speed, the push from the cloud dashboard to on prem would be a ton better, if you were able to manually set the sync instead of waiting for the time period.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Clients tend to use the company network as their own personal home network, and with Umbrella, I can not only limit that, but block what I want to, when I want to. Productivity should rise when not all of the users can browse facebook and social media at work like they used to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't consider!!BUY!!

Open DNS Umbrella Review

  • January 17, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install, great product. Backed by Cisco Threat Intel group Talos.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product is not the most user friendly and does take a little bit of training to get all the functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The malware protection alone slowed down the volume of calls received because of infected computers which has been a wonderful addition.

Great router-level security for home

  • January 17, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's free, relatively simple to set up (although maybe not for a less tech-savvy person), and does a very nice job speeding things up and protecting you from the big stuff. Support and documentation is brilliant.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, nothing at all! Occasionally, I'm not able to log in, the "Logging you in" page just spins unless I close the browser and clear the cache.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has greatly sped up DNS resolution and protects our lab machines from phishing and other content problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While their enterprise solution, Umbrella, might work better for bigger enterprise applications, this is a great starting point for protecting your users!

It's really just made the filtering process much easier and made the company and our clients feel secure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try and be sure to use all the features before making your final decision.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It uses the internet’s infrastructure to block malicious destinations before a connection is ever established.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support, you cannot contact them via phone only thru email. This does not always allow your issue to be explained the way you'd like it to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it as a filtering product, it works great when added to other products that do the same.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well worth using but only makes sense if you have 100 users or more.
