OpenDNS Web Filtering is amazing!

  • January 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Umbrella is what does all of the heavy lifting for us on the antimalware side of things. It helps us meet certain filtering requirements required to pass audit and obtain certification. The IT team primarily implements this across the company .

Umbrella is lightweight and the geniuses behind it are constantly finding ways to thwart evildoers.
What do you dislike about the product?
very once in a while it conflicts with an app and we need to turn it off to troubleshoot, see it working again, then create a ticket to get support to resolve the issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco umbrella protects the whole network. While you can have an agent installed on machines to provide more protection abilities and filtering, you more than likely have IoT devices on your network and you want to make sure those aren't working with bad actors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to configure networks to monitor
Easy to configure policies and settings

Cisco Umbrella keeps you protected

  • January 13, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Dashboard is easy to use to identify any issues
- Easy to configure networks to monitor
- Easy to configure policies and settings
What do you dislike about the product?
A little more insight as to what the virtual umbrella appliance is doing
A little more granular in content filtering or a better explanation of what is in each category
Easier log management - max of 30 days held in Cisco-managed S3 storage
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Umbrella is used across our whole organization to protect the network from malicious web traffic that might be due to malware, crypto mining, command and control, phishing or other sources. With the virtual umbrella appliances connected to our AD, we can identify the computers that might be infected, but stopped from talking to the outside, and get them cleaned quickly. It's an important layer of DNS security.

We selected Cisco Umbrella while they were still OpenDNS. It was a solution to filter internet content in the residence halls. The capabilities that have been added are tremendous. We really don't use the content filtering aspects as much, as the students can just turn off their wifi and use their cellular plans to get to anything they want. The primary use of Umbrella is protecting our users from the malicious sites that are out there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cisco Umbrella provides insight as to what users are browsing that is unknown to them, like harmful ads, malware infected websites, phishing sites, etc. We can then help educate and train users what to be on the lookout for and improve our first line of defense—our users. We don't use the service as a tool to catch our users, but to train, educate and protect them from the bad actors that lurk on the web.

Experience with OpenDNS

  • January 12, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like using Cisco Umbrella OpenDNS as it has a lot of options to use to monitor network activities and reports. It also has a clean interface and navigation is not too difficult. The system also has a lot of functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I really dislike about using Umbrella is that there are so many options it can get confusing when initially using the program. Because of this I'm still getting used to the system although I have not been using it for that long.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open DNS Umbrella is allowing our company to easily monitor our network and provides a strong level of security that is hard to find anywhere else.

Cisco Umbrella is great

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Smart Internet traffic blocking and reporting enables us to control what is happening in and out of our network and who is trying to solve any problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Configuration with in-house DNS servers and firewalls are a bit tricky, but not too bad if you know what you're doing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
End user protection on corporate networks as well as non-corporate. We saw a dramatic reduction in spam and emails trying to link to users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great business solution for information protection and external threats

Review for Open DNS Umbrella

  • January 11, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Umbrella is the easiest web filtering solution in the world. We use it to protect our client's information from phishing attacks for the most part - and it definitely does its job.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found Umbrella quite difficult to setup. It just does not configure smoothly, but for such a complicated system I can understand why.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simply protection from dangerous sites. It is an optimized system, so the workload on our other services is low.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are probably other solutions that are easier to configure, and require less "hacky" solutions, but Umbrella is easy to use and has decent customer support!
