"The most valuable features for us include tenant lock, content filtering, and DLP solutions, looking for PII and information being exfiltrated."
"I have found the malware protection feature valuable. It is helpful and deliverable and is able to protect my entire organization from getting compromised. It also prevents us from visiting any malicious sites which are not visible to the users."

"This product has an inventory function to help maintain a list of the equipment, which is quite good."
"The design of the screens could be improved. Sometimes you're trying to look for information, for what you think is critical that should be on that first screen of the dashboard so that you can quickly take screenshots to have people help out, but you have to hop between screens to find little pieces of evidence."
"The solution's technical support is not very good."
"Looking at the full umbrella suite in the light of SASE, Secure Access Service Edge, they are clearly lacking in the inline CASB."
"The pricing is a bit high. Being outside of the USA, we have issues with the exchange rate."

"It needs better integration with external threat feeds to improve scoring."
"I think it's a very basic solution, and because of that, Cisco Umbrella would not be a suitable solution for large companies."

"The vendor needs to do more to promote this product in certain regions, helping it to gain market share in territories where it is not widely adopted."
