Local network security tool that has no real competition.

  • December 15, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Cisco Umbrella is no doubt hands-down the single best network security and monitoring tool. The amount of features, and the ease of use are great. Customer support not so much though. I love they have filters and content categories so you can separate a lot of what's going on within your local network.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price, it's a bit on the higher side, but considering what you get for that price, it's hard to complaint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me handle the sites my employees are visiting and filtering out what's secure and what is not.

Cisco Umbrella the extra layer that you need for your clients

  • December 14, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's a cloud solution, with easy administration and a solid secure layer to protect any kind of endpoint. It also can be used as a replacement for Proxy servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Secure client deployment can be better, there's space to improve the decryption feature to protect TLS 1.3 traffic, actually TLS decryption faces a broad of problems with end users and computers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Cisco Umbrella as a proxy server for end users, additional our primary and secondary DNS servers point to Umbrella DNS in this way we block bad DNS requests and block page categories as we configure in our policies.

Nice, Clear and easy to use for web filtering ,

  • December 13, 2023

What do you like best about the product?
We are using Cisco Umbrella to integrate with SD-WAN Edge devices to provide cloud based security. This helps us to layoff the security analysis and logs storage responsibilities from the SD-WAN Edge routers. One use-case of Cisco Umbrella usage is to integrate using manual IPSEC Tunnels and the other use-case is to implement auto IPSEC tunnels using APIs. The third use-case of using Cisco Umbrella is for a DNS Security where the internet bound traffic is routed towards Cisco Umbrella first for the security assessments. Once the device is integrated using any of these use-cases, we can implement the policies from the Umbrella portal for carrying out the desired level of security hardening.

In my opinion, Cisco Umbrella is a pretty cool cloud based security service that can help enterprises to meet their cyber readiness and security compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Use of new APIs for auto SIG Tunnels is not working
The Cisco Umbrella logs on vManage are not displaying the detailed information
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps improve security visibility, detect compromised systems, and protect your users on and off the network by stopping threats over any port or protocol before they reach your network or endpoints

Cisco Umbrella as a Cloud based security solution

  • December 12, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Umbrella boasts a vast security database that constantly updates, allowing it to effectively block malicious domains, URLs, and IP addresses. This proactive approach helps prevent users from accessing phishing sites, malware repositories, and other harmful resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost: Umbrella can be expensive, especially for larger organizations with a high number of users. The pricing model is based on the number of devices protected, which can quickly add up for large deployments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Umbrella is designed to solve these for our organization:

Malware and phishing attacks.
Ransomware attacks.
Data exfiltration.
Shadow IT.

Cisco Umbrella the extra layer protection that you need.

  • December 01, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Incredible fast and easy to use, you can connect almost any Cisco Secure product to Umbrella and get the extra layer protection that it brings. Many solutions can just connect automatically through an API, others can connect using a secure tunnel but once you get connected you can start pushing security policies to your end users. The way that you can block requests from the DNS and not from the GET HTTP helps you to discover threats before any other connectivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
In recent versions there are some problems with SSL/TLS connection, some clients cannot connect to common use pages although it's allowed on policies, the majority of cases it is just configuration problems like Root CA installation, but others it's just impossible to connect many of them using TLS 1.3.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we purchased Umbrella we were looking for a replacement for some Proxy servers, at the beginning we didn't believe on Umbrella as a good option for HTTP Proxy but We saw SIG capabilities like Web policies, TLS decryption and Tunnel Gateway and changed our minds. After some tests We though it was a really good replacement for the old proxy server, and the best part all is managed on the cloud so we didn't deploy a new appliance on our Datacenter.
