What do you like best about the product?

Excellent software. So far we are using Umbrella mostly to filter content on public networks at our public library. It works great and was so easy to set up. We chose it because it gives us the ability to unblock sites immediately on patron computers when they request, instead of making them submit and then wait for a response.
We are extremely happy with the product and will continue to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?

Base pay much lower than similar roles at other companies. Sales org still working out lots of process kinks. The closest thing to a con is the speed at which we're growing (fast!). It can create challenges.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it in my home computers as a security software, with the idea of ​​maintaining my privacy in the network.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend it, in my case it worked with total security, I had no problems

What do you like best about the product?
I love that this product prevents users from going to certain websites only using DNS. Saving on bandwidth by not loading the webpage first.and blocking content by using Open DNS servers to determine the category of the site. I believe that this product out performs other content blocking products out there. Very easy to add domains to white lists and they are live within minutes of implementing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not come across anything I dislike at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This solves an issue of endusers going to non productive sites such as social media and streaming radio sites, resulting in more productivity from end users.

Configuration is a little tricky with the appliances, in-house DNS server and firewall, but still manageable.
I actually am able to protect our separate VLANS at two separate locations and our backup cable modem we use for wireless

I can now filter and gather data on remote employees and use that intelligence in case of an incident. I also can now protect remote staff from zero-day web based threats like ransomware

This is a must to protect your environment from web based threats. Its a web firewall in the cloud, before your traffic ever touches your devices.

Cisco Umbrella

  • January 15, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Cisco Umbrella product works great for both Malware protection and web filtering. At its basic level it will provide malware protection when forwarding DNS requests to it. Easy to setup for a MSP. It can be setup to drill down to the user level for web filtering and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product does take a little bit of training to get all the functionality. Between roaming computers and properly setting up policies.
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. It also allowed us to offer web filtering to our clients with an easy setup.
