It reduces complexity within the organisation and using simply policies to protect, clients and endpoints. It also integrates well with other products. It was fairly easy to implement, as we migrated from the old Scansafe offering Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The User Roles isn't very good. It can sometimes we difficult to remedy certain blocked websites. Also it would be nice if Umbrella, could simply allow the M365 whitelist urls, instead of havig to put them in yourself. The same applies with other well known products.

Best thing to say would be the updates that they keep coming up with which keeps our systems updated and provides a great protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
An expensive one, will need a great net connection since without internet there will be limited protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


Cisco Umbrella offers an intuitive and easy-to-use management platform. The policies are easy to build and construct, and deploying to on-prem and mobile users can be done in a matter of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the web console is slow to display monitored and gathered data for reporting. There have been issues with using certain browsers in the past, it doesnt really like Safari to be honest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cisco Umbrella is helpful because it provides robust, multi-layered security that protects against a wide range of cyber threats, offers comprehensive visibility and control over internet activity, and ensures consistent protection for both on-premises and remote users. Its cloud-based approach simplifies deployment and management while keeping the security measures up-to-date with the latest threat intelligence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Expense: Cisco Umbrella can be costly, particularly for small to medium-sized businesses with limited budgets. The pricing model may be prohibitive for some organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


I think that it makes my job easier as someone who manages the network in my organisation, that i can query the DNS properly for all the computers connected in the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would prefer if there were some changes into the UI and ease of access. It was kind of daunting to use it at first, as i found the learning curve to be quite steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like about the working of Cisco Umbrella. Nowadays Cyber attacks are very common and developers and companies are struggling to save their assets and Cisco comes up with the feature of protecting from cyber attacks. The gooththing is it blocks the request before anyone trying to connect with the different server.
Very ease of use, and it will always in the system so you don't need to manually do anything, ease of integration. Protect us from Malware, Ransomware, Phising and other attacks. Customer support and resolution is top-notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing I don't like is some-times it fails to load when we change the Wi-Fi address or change to other network. It might due to setting-up the internal parameters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think Umbrella's DNS Security Essentials package is sufficient for general use. Other packages have many advantages and benefits, but most features other than umbrella's DNS filtering feature are available in different products. Different products are currently used. I think it is easier to sell the DNS Security Essentials package at a more affordable price to convince companies.
The product works smoothly in large structures. After giving the necessary permissions according to our current structure, we can set our customized rules and use them directly.
Log tracking is also done very well. Thanks to AWS integration (Cisco Cloud Security App), it can be integrated with many SIEM products.
If I had to rate the DNS Security Essentials package in terms of price and performance, I would say 8/10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I did not like the package distribution of the product according to its features. Additionally, it only takes a long time to define large networks during the first installation. The fact that we cannot sign our certificate with our own CA and import it into the umbrella in the DNS Security Essentials package is a bit of a bad feature.

Umbrella is a light program that does a good job. It definetly helps us limit what our staff can get into Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We had a couple of issues where umbrella wasnt functioning correctly. It was more of a timing problem because we were going into an audit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
