We performed a comparison between Cisco Umbrella and Webroot DNS Protection based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Domain Name System (DNS) Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integration features within, for example, the Cisco VPN product and the Umbrella module are valuable."
"The solution is extremely stable. It has excellent performance."
"It provides centralized, device-agnostic management of the Internet experience."
"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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Web Filtering and the APT."
"The documentation is good, and we have been able to resolve any issues ourselves."
"Any time someone went off the network, the AnyConnect client had the Umbrella agent built in, and it would realize when their computer connected that they were not on the corporate network. It would monitor and they would have pretty close to the same rules that they had to follow when they were in the office, regarding what kind of website browsing they could do."
"Stability-wise, it's good. I have never encountered any bugs."
"Webroot excels in DNS protection, particularly in blocking malicious sites and phishing."
"When compared with other products, Webroot DNS Protection is the best to secure the end users."
"The dashboard of the solution is a valuable feature."
"DNS protection is valuable."
"Almost everyone who uses it is happy about the product. I don't get any types of complaints from my clients."
"The installation is easy and doesn't take long. The program speedy and doesn't crash. It doesn't consume computer hardware or software."
"I would like them to make some videos, practical videos, the kind with steps that people can use to learn and deploy"
"It needs better integration with external threat feeds to improve scoring."
"I feel that the application needs other characteristics that are available with other applications in the market."
"I would like to see Cisco enable us to get objects from the internet. I would also like to be able to choose groups."
"It's a very new product, so it's quite immature at the moment. It can be more user friendly."
"The rule-making process for blocking sites or for blocking characteristics can use some simplification."
"If we're trying to deploy it to a Mac through Meraki, it's impossible. The method of deployment for a Mac, and the features available in Meraki, are not compatible at all."
"I'm hoping for the conversion of Cisco ZTNA's features from Duo to Umbrella."
"The reporting system needs improvement. They should make is that we can customize it so we can add, remove or change its interface but they use a template. The reports cannot be changed."
"It addresses a specific risk related to malicious sites but doesn't cover broader security aspects."
"It needs to be more secure for production environments."
"If the solution could integrate with FortiGate where there would only be a need of one dashboard instead of having to set policies on our firewall and our DNS, this would be helpful."
"Reporting is not done in real-time. Rather, it is done in 15-minute intervales. This is something that should be configurable by the admin."
"The price could be improved."
