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.

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.

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 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.
