Highly specialized and all-in-one product
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Cisco Umbrella from other similar products?
Cisco Umbrella consistently excelled in every criterion when it came to having complete protection at all edges, thereby preventing access to legitimate sites in addition to blocking malicious ones. It is the tool that has given me such a wide range of abilities that at one point I felt I didn't need anything else.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Cisco Umbrella, in my opinion, is a highly specialized product that not have offered proven security but also aids us with great support for developing go-to-market strategies. Its responsiveness in some challenging circumstances is unbeatable at keeping us from mistakenly blocking access when it is necessary. The fact that it provides enough granular capacity for us to tailor it to our business needs for the highest level of security is another thing to love.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The main confusing part that may be a hit or miss is that Only when we are linked to a Wi-Fi or cellular network does it appear to operate. Second thing: because I failed to adequately back up my prior cellphone, I previously ran into some problems when switching devices.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The best platform is Cisco Umbrella, which guarantees that you never fall short of your goals or are out of the current, saving you time and money with fully optimal adaptation and successful monetization. You only have to set up what and how to safeguard it, after which you can add your mobile laptops easily.

Right security product for anyone
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Cisco Umbrella from other similar products?
We are working remotely so maintaining access to any company task is difficult for us as security issues are growing day by day. But Cisco Umbrella is the best solution for the authentication process so in my opinion, this is the aspect that can differentiate it from others.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Cisco Umbrella all in one SASE solution which truly transforms our work. In our company, it's streamlining the network and security operations in the cloud so it releases the burden from our equipment. As we work remotely in a pandemic period it provides a high level of security so we are able to work more securely than before. If I have to choose one aspect it would be its security.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The roaming agent frequently prevents Windows from accurately detecting Internet access, which prevents Office 365 from functioning. It would be helpful to have a more thorough explanation of what the Security Categories cover as there are generic descriptions given.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Cisco Umbrella will totally enhance the security of your organization; it will secure every remote worker. In comparison to other security tools, it is far simple to use, and setup and integration are also amazing with other tools. Through the pair security application, all access to company websites or apps may be safely authenticated.
