Not the cheapest, but worth every penny!

What differentiates Cisco Umbrella from other similar products?
The massive I put from Cisco into the continuous development of Umbrella. The evolution from Umbrella DNS to SIG has been impressive, but new features and functionality are constantly being added. The inclusion of Cloud Malware analysis is great, and the future releases of Secure Connect are going to make Umbrella a "must have".
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Ease of use. The Umbrella dashboard is VERY user friendly. Policy management is straight forward and the documentation is very well written.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The current lack or deep packet inspection through the cloud delivered firewall. For any business that only has outbound Web traffic, this is no issue. An IPSec tunnel to forward all traffic to Umbrella is fine. At the moment though for incoming sessions you would still need an NGFW at the business "edge".
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Try before you buy. Any good Cisco partner should be able to initiate a proof of value in around 20 minutes. Get hands on and play with the dashboard for a couple of pilot users for both on site and remote. You can define your policies easily and see how easy it is to deploy on large and small scale.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity

In my experience we feel that this tool is different from the others as it is very robust and does a great job in all situations, plus the best part of Umbrella is the ease of administration and the ability to handle individual client installations.

Since we have been using this tool we have not found any fault with the product as it does all the heavy lifting for us on the anti-malware side. It helps us meet certain filtering requirements required to pass the audit.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
We can recommend this product because for a centralized and functional protection, this tool is ideal.
Pros

The Cisco umbrella in my company begins to be used for its ease of protecting digital assets, the approach to disposing of routes for particular devices for commercial use, the security of sending control to the cloud, intelligent maintenance of information management.
