Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Infoblox, F5 and others in Domain Name System (DNS) Security."The most valuable feature of this solution is its reliability."
"We use Cisco Umbrella for DNS filtering and as a secure gateway."
"It offers good visibility for the Administrator. The administrator has full visibility of what is blocked or has the knowledge of where users go when they are surfing the internet."
"It blocks malicious DNS queries daily which is very beneficial."
"The user interface is great. It's very easy to tailor to our client's environment and needs."
"I like that it integrates with the infrastructure. I also like the kind of data and intelligence that's built-in. It helps create innovative reports for security."
"The single-pane-of-glass management is very important. We have a very small team. We can't spend a lot of time going from product to product to product to either investigate or set up policy. We need to have one place that we can go to and set everything up."
"The core business of Cisco Umbrella is non-malware. That's all it does: block the malware on the gateway."
"This product has an inventory function to help maintain a list of the equipment, which is quite good."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Something on our end that might make it better is alerting going to our ticketing system. It's not something that we have discussed, but that would be a proactive option for us to provide a learning experience for the staff."
"There should be a way to monitor traffic at the user level."
"I'd like to see this solution more closely integrate with other products Cisco has in its portfolio."
"Network connectivity was a bit of a challenge at the beginning, but we were able to get the right help from Cisco."
"It would be good to have more extensions to third-party products and a client for other device types."
"It could be more secure. It would be better if they provided a transferring proxy as an add-on and more integration."
"The main issue that we have is with the final steps or the full integration and getting rid of Zscaler. The company still has to fall back to Zscaler when something in Umbrella is not working as expected, such as when we enable SSL inspection. When something is not working 100%, the company is falling back to Zscaler."
"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."
