DNS level security

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.

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.

Need to improve repairing part. Reporting options should be there to expert reports formats.
Data leak prevention is lacking from solution.

Cloud based and easy to manage.
