"Fast and efficient solution to avoid cyberattacks"
5/5
What do you like best about Cisco Umbrella?

The best thing about this solution is that it does not require any type of installation, it is all in the cloud! It has also helped me avoid entering web pages that are used for cyber attacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Umbrella?

False positives sometimes complicate things a bit because they prevent you from entering pages that I know are okay, but other than that, it is an excellent solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Local network security tool that has no real competition."
5/5
What do you like best about Cisco Umbrella?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Umbrella?

The price, it's a bit on the higher side, but considering what you get for that price, it's hard to complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Layered security"
5/5
What do you like best about Cisco Umbrella?

It helps protect a layer that is highly abused by attackers, bots, ransomware, and other DNS manipulation attacks. It's also adds a layer of visibility into internet usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Umbrella?

It's new portal, most likely it has to do with the transition for Cisco's SSO platform, but I sometimes have issues logging in, and having to manually input the dashboard url after the fact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

The best thing about Cisco switches is that they manage traffic and network bandwidth very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DNS security is an easy and obvious win"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cisco Umbrella?

It's relatively easy to set up and maintain policies. Policies can be tailored to different types of users. It's very effective at controlling access to sites that violate corporate policy or potentially malicious content while being transparent to users. Used in conjunction with AnyConnect VPN, Umbrella also protects off-site users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Umbrella?

There's not much to dislike about Umbrella. It's not inexpensive, but well worth it for the additional layer of protection it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
