## Reviews

### "Adir Ben Hamo" — 5.0/5

> **Adir** | *5 May 2025* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ambrella acts as the first line of defense by blocking access to malicious domains at the DNS level, before a connection is ever established.
> 
> **Cons**: This early-stage protection is vital in environments with legacy systems or remote operations (e.g., R\&D labs, remote sites like Neot Hovav or Beit Shemesh).
> 
> The deployment experience with Cisco Umbrella is notably smooth and fast—DNS-layer integration can be rolled out in hours, not days. For an organization with global sites, mobile users, and third-party contractors, Umbrella simplifies protection without requiring heavy infrastructure or VPN dependencies.

### "Solid Security Software with Room for Improvement in Support" — 4.0/5

> **Eli** | *16 May 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cisco Umbrella effective helps prevent malicious activity and implement content filtering by utilizing DNS filtering.
> 
> **Cons**: Product support since the company was acquired by Cisco has been inferior to the level of support provided by OpenDNS. Forced integration with Cisco mobile client is unwelcome.
> 
> Overall, our experience with Cisco Umbrella has been positive.  There are some negative changes that are expected when a smaller company is acquired by a large corporation.

### "Lastly, Set-and-Forget Security." — 5.0/5

> **Garcia** | *3 August 2025* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cisco Umbrella works silently at the background fending off threats, so I don't lose sleep over every new link my team discovers. Installation was a cakewalk, and daily maintenance requires seconds. The comfort is real.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes, the customer support is late to respond, and some of the antivirus choices took me forever to locate as a new user.
> 
> We’ve had fewer security issues and urgent calls. It’s saved us time and money, making our network safer with much less hassle.

### "Cisco Umbrella" — 5.0/5

> **Loganne** | *25 September 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We use Cisco in our hospital across the board and it is well liked and acknowledged as user friendly and easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: There isn’t anything coming to mind when I think of what I like least other than updates can sometimes take longer than expected.
> 
> I enjoy using Cisco and trust them with all patient information that is within the system and know that their information is protected.

-----

### "Well worth the security" — 4.0/5

> **Robert** | *14 August 2024* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cloud based so it is easy to manage, deploy and maintain.
> 
> **Cons**: The cost can be a little high but over all I believe it to be worth it.
