Product Details

What is Cisco Umbrella?

Cisco Umbrella, a key component of Cisco's secure access service edge (SASE) architecture, integrates multiple security services in a single, centrally managed, cloud-native solution to secure access to the internet and control cloud app usage. By unifying secure web gateway, firewall, DNS-layer security, threat intelligence, and cloud access security broker (CASB) solutions, Cisco Umbrella helps reduce the resources required for deployment, configuration, and integration. And, by delivering this functionality from the cloud, you can scale to meet the needs of a remote and roaming workforce, shifting network perimeter, and multi-cloud environment — all while simplifying security. Umbrella can be easily integrated with an SD-WAN implementation to provide a combination of performance, security, and flexibility to delight both end users and a security team.

To be honest we didn't need to use Cisco Umbrella support too many times. That was exactly because the product runs smoothly and with no failures. We used their support a couple of times to ask for help on doing some specific configurations. Cisco Umbrella's interface is sometimes confusing and it might take some time to find stuff you don't regularly use.

The support has improved over the years. Before it used to take days to get a response from the support. However, in recent days we can expect within one day. Moreover, there is a technical checkup by a senior technical manager quarterly to access the proper usage and to take any feedback.

We've had few problems with this solution, so we've had little use of technical support.

Indicate that when we have used it, the communication has been very fluid and our doubts have been resolved in a very fast and professional way.

The support has always been aware that their answers were the correct ones to solve our problems.
