Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Zscaler, Forcepoint and others in Internet Security."Web proxy adds an effective layer for security."
"When it comes to hybrid work it's pretty effective. We've got the agents. We can protect people inside our building and, when they're using their laptops out in the field, they're still protected. It's working well."
"Overall, it is a very good solution. It is a simple solution and very easy to set up."
"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."
"When we have laptops that leave the building, they could connect to public WiFi before they establish a VPN connection back into the company. For that duration or that period of time when they're not docked in the network or on a VPN, they effectively don't have that full layer of security that I provide inside the building. This tool stands in during that period of time, and we extend the security settings through their basic firewall or their cloud-based firewall at that time. So, we do content filtering and control access, but they also are looking at new domains, IP addresses, and bad requests. They're blocking them on my behalf when a laptop is not sitting behind our security appliances."
"The most valuable features for us include tenant lock, content filtering, and DLP solutions, looking for PII and information being exfiltrated."
"Meraki features and cloud-based functionality are advanced and easy to manage centrally."
"The customer experience is very good, and the product improves security posture."
"Menlo Security RBI's best feature is its threat isolation engine."
"Its reliability and the response time of the support team can be better."
"Its on-prem rollout is quite challenging. It needs better coordination with the Internet Service Provider. It is a cloud-based solution, and any endpoint that connects to it has to go through all the gateway ISPs, but some of the ISPs block HTTPS-based DNS. That's where the challenge occurs with Umbrella."
"Network connectivity was a bit of a challenge at the beginning, but we were able to get the right help from Cisco."
"I would like to see Cisco enable us to get objects from the internet. I would also like to be able to choose groups."
"The pricing changes too fast. We get the license and we need to relicense it because they already made changes to it. We always need to be on top of the licenses because they're always changing."
"I'm hoping for the conversion of Cisco ZTNA's features from Duo to Umbrella."
"Looking at the full umbrella suite in the light of SASE, Secure Access Service Edge, they are clearly lacking in the inline CASB."
"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."
"Menlo Security RBI could be more cloud-friendly, and its mobility could be improved."
