The first layer of security

  • July 30, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've used Cisco Umbrella/OpenDNS at my current and previous employer. In the multi-layer security of my systems, this is first and foremost at the top. It stops malware attacks, phishing, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike. A feature that would be helpful is alerting when something gets blocked (like command & control or phishing).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and piece of mind. Knowing many of our security issues can be solved by securing the DNS Lookup that Umbrella does is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can't go wrong here.

Umbrella is Total DNS Security

  • July 25, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
All traffic is routed through the Umbrella servers. I noticed an immediate increase in speed and time to first byte from websites. Everything loads much quicker, with images located on CDN's even loading faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
The service fee - but in this case the small fee is far worth the saved time. There is a small need for an "admin" who knows how to setup and maintain users, but nothing heavy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Phishing attack attempts, viruses, user error (typo correction), log creation for accountability. We block certain sites that are known attack sites or out of country to prevent 'what if' scenarios.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try with and without the client enabled, compare ping times, time to first byte and general loading times of websites. There is a clear difference.

Great free tool for controlling your home network

  • July 14, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the content filtering capabilities as well as the web interface. I also like hosting my own personal website, and having the ability to set my own DNS, means avoiding the need to update settings when my provider made changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version requires some advanced DNS knowledge which could be confusing for the average user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting my own private website, and saving money on hosting fees.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has a robust set of parental controls and content filtering options for parents looking to have a bit more control over their children’s internet usage.

Open dns

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to have a secure dns provider unrelated to my ISP
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all ISP’s allow you to modify your DNS records to allow custom entries
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the ability to choose my dns provider I have the option to better secure my internet traffic. Choose how I want my traffic displayed and manage what information is tracked and how to better secure my data.

Open DNS opens the internet for your family and church

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
OpenDNS is super easy to set up and once setup in your router covers all devices connecting to it. It’s very good at filtering inappropriate content like pornography or many other categories that are laid out
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s unfortunate though that If users have administrative access to their internet settings they could bypass the dns lookup setting that keep OprnDns working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a church we provide public access to internet and feel good about doing our part to prevent inappropriate content and scams from reaching our users

Great for blocking harmful websites

The interface could be a little easier to use, but once you get used to it, it is fine.
