Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Umbrella
Cisco Umbrella is used across our whole organization to protect the network from malicious web traffic that might be due to malware, crypto mining, command and control, phishing or other sources. With the virtual umbrella appliances connected to our AD, we can identify the computers that might be infected, but stopped from talking to the outside, and get them cleaned quickly. It's an important layer of DNS security.
Pros
- Dashboard is easy to use to identify any issues
- Easy to configure networks to monitor
- Easy to configure policies and settings
Cons
- A little more insight as to what the virtual umbrella appliance is doing
- A little more granular in content filtering or a better explanation of what is in each category
- Easier log management - max of 30 days held in Cisco-managed S3 storage
- We can identify traffic to "bad" sites easier and quicker
- High impact on network security for low spend
We selected Cisco Umbrella while they were still OpenDNS. It was a solution to filter internet content in the residence halls. The capabilities that have been added are tremendous. We really don't use the content filtering aspects as much, as the students can just turn off their wifi and use their cellular plans to get to anything they want. The primary use of Umbrella is protecting our users from the malicious sites that are out there.
