"I think recently with many people working from home, Cisco Umbrella has been very useful. For example, we can manage the device and the network when the employee is not working on the local host. Cisco Umbrella is very valuable for this kind of infrastructure."
"The implementation is pretty easy."
"The solution is very easy to manage. We found the initial setup, for example, to be quite simple."
"One of the most important features is the security posture check which Umbrella offers when a user accesses any website. That is one of the most unique features that it offers."
"If it didn't have a single pane of glass, we would not be using it. The single pane of glass gives you a one-stop shop. It's like going to Home Depot. You find all your stuff there. You can see all your threats and your endpoints. It's a very important feature and makes things very simple."
"The weekly reportings are great. The investigation is super and the application management is equally great."
"Provides dependable DNS monitoring of external devices."
"It's very stable, reliable and does its job."
"The most valuable feature of Quad9 is that it is a free solution."
"If we're trying to deploy it to a Mac through Meraki, it's impossible. The method of deployment for a Mac, and the features available in Meraki, are not compatible at all."
"If the security issues are taken care of it would be better."
"We would like them to add more features to Cisco Umbrella."
"The pricing is a bit high. Being outside of the USA, we have issues with the exchange rate."
"Its on-prem rollout is quite challenging. It needs better coordination with the Internet Service Provider. It is a cloud-based solution, and any endpoint that connects to it has to go through all the gateway ISPs, but some of the ISPs block HTTPS-based DNS. That's where the challenge occurs with Umbrella."
"There are cheaper solutions in the market"
"Data reporting could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see the integration of VDI NSX with Cisco Umbrella."
"Quad9 could improve by having more free features, such as custom DNS filtering."
