Resource management in neuroscience has become faster and data-driven and now supports better studies
From my experience now, Archera has a very good program and useful tools. It is great, but as I said earlier, you can show more through social networks, sites, or training to help people use these tools. Formation is more specific. How can people such as me study and learn more about your program? Initially, they are very happy with Archera, which I appreciate. But perhaps if we can use the tool with more than one group of people and have shared information, that would be very good. If you understand me, it is about training and allowing more people to use it simultaneously. I see that when they are using it in their department, this group has maybe ten or twelve people who know about it. When I saw that, I thought it was incredible, and I want more information about it. They have given me information, but I want to learn by myself.

Gained clearer financial governance and have improved cloud cost visibility and forecasting
I do not feel that anything needs to be changed. Umbrella is solving the purpose and is on point. The UI is intuitive and user-friendly. The learning curve is very easy. The features provided are on point. There is no downtime or challenges, and it is easy to learn and easy to use. In total, I do not feel that improvement is needed as per our organizational use case. Maybe for other organizations, they might have some suggestions, but for our organization specifically, I do not feel that they are lacking somewhere. It is already providing us the best thing. Almost everything is working as we expect. Small things we do not always point out. I feel that it works well and we do not have such problems with them specifically.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The platform is very user-friendly, and it's helpful to have all the tools readily available without needing to send an email or do extra work."
"Archera is an all-in-one unit; all work is done in one specific way, which is very good for me."
"Using the product is a very smooth process, and they help you every step of the way, so it has been great and will not be hard for anyone to join and start using the product."
"Umbrella positively impacts my organization by protecting us from cybersecurity threats and malware."
"Umbrella has positively impacted my organization by allowing our IT team to know that our users and our remote locations are having safe traffic and lowering the risk of malicious active actions and people going to the wrong websites, giving us ease of mind."
"Umbrella includes DNS-layer security, a secure web gateway, Cloud Access Security Broker, Firewall as a Service, and a central-based dashboard, all delivered through the cloud without requiring any hardware."
"Umbrella has positively impacted my organization by providing a layer of security on the DNS level."
"The software itself is very helpful for companies that are into enterprise systems and helps give you a very good modeling of what your request and your mission and vision is for your company, making the process seamless and more effective."
"Umbrella has positively impacted my organization because it has turned a different situation around; we see at least billions of traffic being protected and classified regarding what sort of traffic is going in and out."
"Umbrella has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that if anyone wants to access any of the URLs, the URL will be blocked, and if they want to access that particular URL, it needs to be whitelisted."
"Umbrella is very user-friendly, the GUI is very understandable, and the traffic and detection are also fine and excellent."
 

Cons

"We don't have issues. We discussed with them that we wanted to have other clouds implemented with us, and they have been very helpful, going step by step in solving that issue."
"From my experience now, Archera has a very good program and useful tools. It is great, but as I said earlier, you can show more through social networks, sites, or training to help people use these tools."
"Maybe there are some tiny improvements regarding the UI, the configuration aspect, or integration capabilities."
"A ten would be the case where we would never encounter any issues, or the proactive work would be really well done without any problems."
"Umbrella can be improved by providing something on a day-to-day basis so that users can be aware."
"I think Umbrella can be improved regarding AI capabilities."
"Some aspects that my team often wishes were better include reporting depth, policy granularity, false positive whitelisting, integration with other tools, and cost considerations."
"I wish Umbrella could make the whole process more user-friendly."
"To improve the Umbrella experience, a dashboard or daily statistics along with visual widgets would be useful if they were added."
"Occasionally, Umbrella blocks main business websites, requiring recurring manual review and whitelisting."
"Umbrella can be improved with easier migration and easier deployment, as we had to get some really specialized users in to deploy the software."
