What I like about Cisco Umbrella is it's easy to use, even for beginners like me. It's easy to customize and user-friendly. It provides a layer of security in a single user interface. It offers a free trial for 14 days, so you can maximize it to explore and check if it meets your requirements.

DNS level security

  • August 10, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really love this Umbrella feature from Cisco. We used the Umbrella feature for protecting endpoints in the office and home.
It is very easy to set up which is cloud-based and add our Home network and office network into the umbrella cloud dashboard.
No need to configure any further configuration on the endpoint side, jest we need to enter the umbrella DNS server IP! and provides very good blocking policies to restrict the user from visiting unwanted sites
What do you dislike about the product?
Except for the price of the Umbrella, I like everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using the Umbrella feature, there is heavy internet bandwidth usage, after deploying Umbrella we restricted users from visiting high bandwidth-consuming sites and we saved some internet bills.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you want to restrict users in-home or office from visit unwanted sites it is very useful.

DNS security is an easy and obvious win

  • May 20, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's relatively easy to set up and maintain policies. Policies can be tailored to different types of users. It's very effective at controlling access to sites that violate corporate policy or potentially malicious content while being transparent to users. Used in conjunction with AnyConnect VPN, Umbrella also protects off-site users.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike about Umbrella. It's not inexpensive, but well worth it for the additional layer of protection it provides.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Umbrella helps limit access to prohibited or dangerous content. It's especially helpful in limiting activities on our guest network.

What do you like best about the product?
Within few minutes solution can be implemented.
Cisco umbrella provides dns traffic visibility and cloud application visibility. It helps to protects from any DNS layer attacks. Best part is Cisco umbrella maintains most of domains, url, ip address reputation and it's related global ratings.

Protects from command and control requests, cryptomining,malwares associated with domains/ urls and botnet traffic.

Additionally added proxy functionality to help organizations to help and protect users unwanted access to websites domains.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to improve repairing part. Reporting options should be there to expert reports formats.
Data leak prevention is lacking from solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DNS based security helps to prevent from attacks. In minutes, we can protect the entire organization by just forwarding DNS.
Cloud based and easy to manage.
