Cisco Umbrella Offers Excellent DNS/URL Filtering

  • September 28, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The configuration of setting up policies is pretty straightforward. We have a blocklist that we can add OSINT URL's to that boost protection on top of what it already protects us from.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much I can say about what I don't like. The product is relatively inexpensive. Once it's set up, you can set it -and forget it if you want and still receive substantial protection from malicious sites.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Umbrella filters all websites our users go to, so even if they accidentally click on a bad link in an email, Umbrella will block it before they ever go to the site.

What do you like best about the product?
Cisco Umbrella is definitely an easy to implement and manage tool. Licensing is only a couple of clicks to manage. Deployment to new workstations for clients is a quick install.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike or wish Cisco Umbrella would do is have more reporting or more information on where to find reporting. Managing endpoints is easy, but getting useful information requires digging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Umbrella continues to make endpoint management quick and painless. I understand reporting is getting more robust, but would like to see more information on that.

Exactly as the name says, a security umbrella over your company IT devices

  • August 24, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Cloud-based DNS security is the best thing anyone could have. We like that the interface is very intuitive and the L7 firewall can block many spurious and non-approved applications as well as peer-to-peer file sharing and torrenting from happening in the office or on any office computers.
What do you dislike about the product?
We actually liked the fact that Cisco has provided a lot of training materials and has live webinars every so often. The detailed documentation available on Cisco's website has helped us understand how to leverage the DNS security to the fullest.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internet security and monitoring of data is the issue that Cisco Umbrella is solving for us. Its tight integration with Meraki security appliance and L3 switches also helps us a lot.
