Cisco Umbrella is a necessity

What do you like best about the product?
Filters all my web traffic before it even hits my office or remote users laptops. Allows us to protect against ransomware and other zero day web based threats like DDoS. In todays threat landscape, this is a must to add a layer to your defense in depth strategy.
What do you dislike about the product?
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
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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
Recommendations to others considering the product:
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

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.

Fast and free dns protection.

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setup. Range of features that you get for free. Content filtering.
What do you dislike about the product?
No complains so far. It stops working if you somehow are able to set your own dns server setting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improved confidence in that only "good" url's are visited.

Life saver for remote offices

  • December 13, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best feature to me is the accommodation of sites with static IP's. Their application keeps everything working by automatically updating IP addresses on the account
What do you dislike about the product?
We use some mediocre Linksys routers at our smaller remote offices that do not allow limiting the DNS that is used. To fix this, we have initialized group policies on each machine to prevent the service from being circumvented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A lot of our smaller remote offices have limited bandwidth, where streaming video or music can make the VoIP call quality suffer. Cisco Umbrella helps with this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you can limit the DNS IP access from each device on your network.

Easy to use for branch offices

  • December 07, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the easy deployment and the accommodation of sites without static IP addresses. They have an IP address application that automatically updates the IP address on the account identity to keep it working.
What do you dislike about the product?
Without a high-end router, the service is fairly easy to circumvent. Our mid-grade Linksys routers at our smaller branch do not allow for limiting the DNS that is used. To accomplish this, I have to initialize a group policy on each machine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has been especially helpful at our locations that have limited bandwidth. Locations where a streaming video or music application can make phone calls suffer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure that you have the ability to limit the DNS IP accessed from each device on your network.

Set it and (mostly) forget it

  • October 03, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ever since I became a parent, I've been concerned about my child inadvertently stumbling upon age-inappropriate material on the internet. OpenDNS introduced me to network filtering via its free plan, and after some time, I decided the feature set and filter effectiveness were worth the modest annual subscription fee.
What do you dislike about the product?
The stats dashboard could use a more modern design, with graphics depicting performance of the filtering over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can now access my home network for both business and personal use from multiple desktop, laptop, and mobile devices, confident that objectionable material is being prevented from even downloading itself.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't have an internet filtering service protecting your home or office network, get one. You can hardly go wrong with OpenDNS. It's easy to grasp, easy to deploy, and easy to administer.

What do you dislike about the product?
Limitations of using a DNS-based solution mean content filtering isn't as powerful as other solutions.
