Exactly as the name says, a security umbrella over your company IT devices

  • August 24, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Cloud-based DNS security is the best thing anyone could have. We like that the interface is very intuitive and the L7 firewall can block many spurious and non-approved applications as well as peer-to-peer file sharing and torrenting from happening in the office or on any office computers.
What do you dislike about the product?
We actually liked the fact that Cisco has provided a lot of training materials and has live webinars every so often. The detailed documentation available on Cisco's website has helped us understand how to leverage the DNS security to the fullest.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internet security and monitoring of data is the issue that Cisco Umbrella is solving for us. Its tight integration with Meraki security appliance and L3 switches also helps us a lot.

What do you like best about the product?
It worked to filter out DNS, filtering was effective.
What do you dislike about the product?
MInimal/no detail of threat reporting, logs update every hour, phone support non-existent for MSPs, UI could use some work. Changes took time to cycle in. DDNS agent is clunky at best and a pain to seutp for multiple non-related sites

Decent Software Hamstrung by a Few Huge Flaws

  • May 04, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Cisco Umbrella adds a layer of DNS-based protection from malware and phishing attacks. The roaming client software allows for remote systems to always be protected.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a very big problem that prevents Windows 10 from detecting an active Internet connection. This causes the systems to report to the user that no Internet connection is available and prevents some apps, most notably Microsoft Outlook from functioning. Customer support is very sub-par.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Umbrella helps provide an additional layer of protection against all malware, but Crypto-malware in particular. Basic web filtering can also be implemented for customers who need very broad filtering applied.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test thoroughly on a subset of systems before deploying to all computers.

Great extra security layer for your network

  • March 11, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Cisco Umbrella is easy to set up and effective in its protection. You just need to configure what and how you want to protect and then add your roaming computers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything I disliked yet because this tool is very customizable. If you believe that it's blocking too much, you just need to change the configuration accordingly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Threats have been increasing a lot in the last several years, so we decided to add extra security to work with our antivirus system. Umbrella was one of them and the benefit is that it pre-filters some of the traffic reducing the load on the other security systems we have in place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that as an extra security layer for your network. Umbrella is also able to protect roaming users that are very common these days.

Cisco Umbrella: Cloud DNS filtering that is consistent

  • January 04, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact you can protect an entire network in minutes, with the ability to deploy agents to remote devices easily. Policies can be set up for each type of network and device as needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
IT BLOCKS EVERYTHING.... Until you allow it, that is. The log analytics stream in real-time, but I would recommend a full audit before putting it in production.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Umbrella to filter all traffic on several remote locations and windows tablets. We also us it to find out of any strange networking or malware traffic on our networks.

In Cisco Umbrella, I like best its traffic optimization and DNS services. I can block and forward different websites from my corporate network. can control internet traffic

In Cisco Umbrella I wouldn't say I like slow work; configuration changes take time to be applied in the system. The report doesn't work correctly. Improvements in the graphic interface

Control DNS traffic of our office and Datacenter.

Simple and secure

  • October 28, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The simpleness of implementation. Can be as easy as changing where your DNS points to.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have not encountered a downside yet. We are 3 months into the contract and have had no issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Protection our assets with prevention at the DNS layer. This has quickly identified where there may be some systems calling out with malware that we may not have seen otherwise.
