Best DNS program
What do you like best about the product?
From the many features Open DNS has to offer, my favorite is how it keeps everyone in my company safe, and the company itself. Without it, many people would be trying to scam us. The service Open DNS provides is extremely reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike about Open DNS is how tricky the installation was. I found myself messing up a lot of parts. Once I was past this though, everything worked perfectly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving many different business problems using Open DNS. One of the most important benefits would be how it blocks out unnecessary websites that people may encounter during the workday. Another thing that helps us out a lot is that everybody could be worry free while browsing the internet. Everything is protected under Open DNS!

Fastest ROI we've ever seen!
What do you like best about the product?
For customers using central DHCP management, the Umbrella deployment is as simply as deploying an on-prem VA (or more) and redirecting your DHCP clients to the Umbrella VAs. That, plus a few settings in the cloud portal to define your internal domains, and you're good to go! This deployment took a grand total of 3 days, and actually would have taken less had we not had a few sites that were still doing DHCP on the local router. Additionally, this product gives us so much more visibility than we had before, and the OpenDNS connectors that we had to install on our DC DNS servers allow us to even attribute traffic to specific users without having to cross reference with other systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far we honestly don't have any complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have closed the gap between our larger offices that do have firewalls for web filtering, and our smaller offices that used to have to rely on Cloud Website Security installed on each endpoint for filtering. Now it doesn't matter where we have a firewall. We still have a layer of web filtering for each and every device on our entire network. Adding ACLs to prevent DNS circumvention have made this a very robust and seamless product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ask your Cisco rep for a POC and I guarantee you'll be amazed at how simple this is to set up.
Cisco Umbrella

What do you dislike about the product?
It was a little complex to set up initially, but works well once policies are in place

Prevents access to unauthorized content, potentially hazardous sites and command and control traffic through our internet connection
