Provides high level security to employees
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Cisco Umbrella from other similar products?
I would like it to, among other things, offer additional reporting or information on where to locate reporting. Although endpoint administration is straightforward, finding relevant data needs some research. Cisco Umbrella has a plethora of features, which I discovered. It helps secure user-friendly access in the first place by providing centralized orchestration and in-the-moment application optimization. Second, increase the security of remote and mobile access. Last but not least, while competing systems are expensive and lack sufficient functionality, Cisco Umbrella is priced affordably.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Prior to this, we had security difficulties because anyone could simply access our devices and applications, but it now offers us a secure method that boosts our platform experience. I loved how they included a limitation function so that everyone in our business could only access certain data. Utilizing a single platform decreases the complexity of IT as well. I had a great overall experience using Cisco Umbrella. It offers everything in one location, from simplicity of use to the highest level of security.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It is challenging to integrate additional Cisco and Meraki products. Device reporting is lost when I set up a Meraki access point to use an Umbrella Virtual Appliance. The AP's IP address appears next to all reporting.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The finest security solution for the office is Cisco Umbrella since it is more scalable than competitors and always prior prioritizes employee and corporate security. Every business that needs additional security should use it, in my opinion, because it is easy to use and allows you to control the level of access that employees have to the system, even if it is simple for them to use.

- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
