Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Infoblox, Palo Alto Networks and others in Domain Name System (DNS) Security."One valuable feature is definitely its simplicity in terms of deployment. It is very easy to integrate it into the environment without any heavy lifting. Users didn't notice that we implemented it. You can start with a very low monitoring mode and start observing what Cisco Umbrella sees."
"I like the original functionality, which allows for providing secure DNS services."
"By using Cisco Umbrella, you are sure of inspecting all the traffic. Whenever the user machine is connected to your network, it is inspected. That's the best thing. It means you are sure that nothing is being exported or imported without your choice. That is the best feature."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to detect if a URL has malware or is vulnerable."
"It provides centralized, device-agnostic management of the Internet experience."
"I haven't found any issues related to latency or any other issue."
"If it didn't have a single pane of glass, we would not be using it. The single pane of glass gives you a one-stop shop. It's like going to Home Depot. You find all your stuff there. You can see all your threats and your endpoints. It's a very important feature and makes things very simple."
"It has certainly saved us time. If we go and look at what's rejected on the requests from the hospital itself, it has saved about 5% or 6% time."
"This product has an inventory function to help maintain a list of the equipment, which is quite good."
"I would like to see DLP integration in the next release of this solution."
"There are a couple of different pieces that have different portals. I know they're working on getting them all into one portal, but that's probably the biggest thing that needs improvement right now. It's not a single pane of glass yet."
"If I want to see which users access a website, I need an Active Directory registered on Umbrella's cloud."
"The pricing could always be a little bit better."
"They should provide more integrations and bring things together so that there is a more standard feel to their platform. We also use Cisco ISE, and it has a very different feel from Cisco Umbrella."
"It should have more integrations with multiple end user OEMs."
"In the future, they should combine some of the Cisco AMP features that they already have, for anti-malware purposes."
"The integration with Cisco could be better."
"The vendor needs to do more to promote this product in certain regions, helping it to gain market share in territories where it is not widely adopted."
