Umbrella Reviews

I use Umbrella for ERP resources, like enterprise resource planning for our company on a day-to-day basis.

Umbrella helps us assist with our data analysis, such as profiling the database solutions to what our customers need.

I rate Umbrella an eight out of ten because of its diverse features. I think it has been helpful. The software itself is very helpful for companies that are into enterprise systems. It helps give you a very good modeling of what your request and your mission and vision is for your company. It helps to make the process seamless and more effective.

I wish Umbrella could make the whole process more user-friendly. It should be more user-friendly for people to be able to use because it is a bit sophisticated.

I have been using Umbrella for the past five months.

My advice to others looking into using Umbrella is to tailor it to actually know what their request is and tailor it in the same process because Umbrella is a very wide model with specifications where you could just look at what your objectives are, what your goals are, and probably tailor it to serve the purpose or the main objective of the organization. I definitely recommend Umbrella and would rate this product an eight out of ten.

My main use case for Umbrella is DNS security, by securing end users to utilize a security DNS. I have deployed Umbrella in proxy mode, and we have two appliances in our environment. Our Active Directory gets all the DNS queries from the Umbrella appliances, and the Umbrella appliances reach DNS and Cisco Security Cloud. Our end users utilize it from the Active Directory.

The best features Umbrella offers secure the DNS queries for our environment, including servers and endpoints. What makes the security feature stand out for our servers and endpoints is that most of the DNS queries come from trusted sources. Umbrella has positively impacted my organization by providing a layer of security on the DNS level. I can share specific outcomes including improved compliance with NCA regulation that resulted from using Umbrella.

Umbrella can be improved by adding DHCP services to be a full DDI solution, as most customers today are looking for a full DDI solution. Exporting reports for all the DNS queries, including how much reached and what has been blocked, can give full visibility for the protection. Additionally, adding DDoS protection services to the DNS cloud would provide more layers of security.

I have been using Umbrella for three years.

Umbrella is stable.

Umbrella's scalability is great.

Cisco Customer Support always answers on time, which is very helpful. I would rate the customer support a nine on a scale of one to ten.

I previously used Infoblox as a different solution before switching to Umbrella.

Before using Umbrella, I did not evaluate any other options.

I would rate Umbrella an eight on a scale of one to ten. I chose that number because of the ease of deployment of Umbrella, as well as its easy use and low operational headache. My advice for others looking into using Umbrella is to make sure to deploy Umbrella appliances on-premises to utilize the proxy services. The interview was great, and I have no changes to suggest for the future.
