Cisco Umbrella keeps you protected

  • January 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Dashboard is easy to use to identify any issues
- Easy to configure networks to monitor
- Easy to configure policies and settings
What do you dislike about the product?
A little more insight as to what the virtual umbrella appliance is doing
A little more granular in content filtering or a better explanation of what is in each category
Easier log management - max of 30 days held in Cisco-managed S3 storage
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Umbrella is used across our whole organization to protect the network from malicious web traffic that might be due to malware, crypto mining, command and control, phishing or other sources. With the virtual umbrella appliances connected to our AD, we can identify the computers that might be infected, but stopped from talking to the outside, and get them cleaned quickly. It's an important layer of DNS security.

We selected Cisco Umbrella while they were still OpenDNS. It was a solution to filter internet content in the residence halls. The capabilities that have been added are tremendous. We really don't use the content filtering aspects as much, as the students can just turn off their wifi and use their cellular plans to get to anything they want. The primary use of Umbrella is protecting our users from the malicious sites that are out there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cisco Umbrella provides insight as to what users are browsing that is unknown to them, like harmful ads, malware infected websites, phishing sites, etc. We can then help educate and train users what to be on the lookout for and improve our first line of defense—our users. We don't use the service as a tool to catch our users, but to train, educate and protect them from the bad actors that lurk on the web.

Really good

  • January 11, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
In many areas OpenDNS umbrella means a change in the way of working of our company, the interface is very intuitive and the best thing without a doubt is that the migration of a previous system to this one is very comfortable, although the interaction with the user does not It is so direct, if it offers great security.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the time I have been using this service, I do not really have much to say that I dislike, however, it could be mentioned that in some occasions there are small delays in the searches, but I guess it is normal in a security service more than that no other problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

With OpenDNS Umbrella have been able to solve problems with data leaks, and reviews of inappropriate sites by some users, due to its monitoring and security we have also prevented the entry of different types of attacks from misleading advertising that some employees unknowingly select , in essence, its security and navigation protection section has helped us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In essence OpenDNS umbrella is thinking for companies that really have many employees, due to its functions I think it is mostly useful for companies where the flow of information is very high, and also the number of workers is large, on the other hand it also serves as an excellent security monitoring and control tool so in essence I think it would be better for companies with many employees but also small companies could use it to check the functions of their workers.

Amazing service!

  • January 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Out of all of the features that OpenDNS has to provide, my favorite is how it protects my family and friends in the workplace. We can freely browse the internet without having to be worried consistently of viruses or bad websites. We can block everything out that we do not want.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything about OpenDNS. If I had to choose something, it would probably be the way the application is designed visually. I feel like they could slightly improve how it looks, but other than that it is not bad at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenDNS has made it exponentially easier to communicate with everybody around the office. On top of this, it has made everyone work more efficiently because we have been able to block out websites that do not need to be browsed on during the work day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that every company uses this program. It's amazing!

What do you like best about the product?
It makes me feel comfortable and safe because I know that family and children are safe. It also did not take very long to set up the application, which is nice. It is simple and efficient to use. Would definitely recommend!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't necessarily dislike anything, but I would not complain if they were to update the interface more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I feel more confident with my business knowing that we are protected from viruses and scams online. It puts all of us at risk if we do not have this program.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very good if you would like to have some sort of protection online.

What do you like best about the product?
Low weight client, you forget its there! Also for mobile users everywhere the device travels it must follow your DNS rules. very easy to use and very easy to integrate with AD to get actionable data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot really think of anything I have ever disliked about this product to be honest,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Definitely try the trial out and see what your current products are missing that it blocks. It will prove its value on this alone out of the box. Also keep in mind DNS is the first thing used when anyone clicks a bad / malicious link

Great solution for IT crew to keep their coworkers safe.
