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

"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."
"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."
"Umbrella has positively impacted my organization because previously, we were not having any visibility on what was coming in and what was going out, and currently, with the help of Umbrella, we are able to restrict what can go out and what can come inside, which is really helpful for each and every organization, not only for us."
"Umbrella has positively impacted our organization by blocking some of the traffic, including some of the domains that were usually being generated."
"Overall, Umbrella is a great product, and I have not seen any room for improvement."
"Before using Umbrella, we had a lot of complaints about users accessing websites and malware being downloaded onto the user's device, but after using Umbrella, issues related to malware have really reduced, and we are now fully satisfied."
"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 has positively impacted my organization by providing a layer of security on the DNS level."
"Umbrella's best feature is DNS security because DNS is the most vulnerable component and can be a potential attack vector."
"After introducing Umbrella, most of the malicious emails or malicious sites that users access have been very much secured, and most of the security threats are now blocked by Umbrella."
 

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."
"Maybe there are some tiny improvements regarding the UI, the configuration aspect, or integration capabilities."
"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."
"Some aspects that my team often wishes were better include reporting depth, policy granularity, false positive whitelisting, integration with other tools, and cost considerations."
"The accuracy of Umbrella's output is slightly missing, around 10 to 15%, and it does not provide accurate categorization compared to available market threat intels."
"Umbrella can be improved by providing something on a day-to-day basis so that users can be aware."
"The user interface of Umbrella needs to provide more feasibility for understanding easily, as well as clearer details in the reports."
"Umbrella could be improved with notifications."
"Umbrella has a tier-restricted feature in the base package that lacks advanced features such as URL-level filtering or inspection and requires more expensive subscriptions."
"However, there can occasionally be false positives where legitimate sites are blocked and require review or whitelisting."
"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."
