"It's not heavy on the system."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"It makes it really easy to accomplish content filtering. We don't have to do a lot of customization. You just click the box for the content category and it's up to date."
"Application performance has greatly improved and there are less operational issues. Productivity has been going up because we have less operational issues. Also, we have happy customers."
"You can manage and create policies based on a group of users. It can permit some URLs and block others."
"I like that it integrates with the infrastructure. I also like the kind of data and intelligence that's built-in. It helps create innovative reports for security."
"Helps block personal email accounts."
"It blocks malicious DNS queries daily which is very beneficial."
"Stability-wise, it's good. I have never encountered any bugs."
"It has improved our organization from a security posture perspective. We feel more confident now knowing that we can block phishing attempts or any type of malware that is DNS-related. This is a very nice feature that provides peace of mind."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"The API is very Cisco orientated, which is absolutely fine if you're using Cisco Firepower and SecureX kind of products, but if you want to integrate with third parties, it is a bit tricky. There are some key API connectors for the more prevalent SIEM tools. I would really like to see in Cisco Umbrella the ability to create customized reports and then assign the rights to view these reports to people within a group. I should be able to create a customized report, which is viewable by anybody who has the rights. I should be able to create groups within Cisco Umbrella, and then assign reports to groups and have those reports split out automatically only to those groups. I can kind of do it by restricting my email list, but it is a half-complete way of doing it."
"I would like to see more integration between Cisco Umbrella and Cisco DNA Center."
"There are some situations where we would like to block things for specific user groups. I know that Umbrella does that, but it's not that easy.... when you want a specific task for specific rules and policies for user groups, you have to go three levels down in the menu, and it's hard to find where you do that task."
"Overall, I'm quite happy with Cisco products, but there could be one place where you can check what's going on. There could be one place where you get all the information about these products so that you don't need to look around. You get the status, information about what lately happened, and if there was anything on the machine in one single place."
"I would like to have more applications being recorded."
"The firewall capabilities could be better. Cisco is starting to introduce some layer 7 capabilities now, but there's still some room to grow. They should continue with the development of Umbrella so that it is a full-blown cloud-managed firewall solution."
"They need to improve analytics so they report on more of the specifics of user activity."
"The pricing is a bit high. Being outside of the USA, we have issues with the exchange rate."
