"It's fairly easy to set up."
"The most valuable features are the dashboard, visibility, and reporting capabilities. Our customers can see how much Umbrella is protecting their organization. If you don't know what you've got, you can't protect it. With Umbrella, you get the visibility and see the protection that it's providing. We can get PDF reports on a weekly basis of any malware activities and any denial of service or command-and-control-type activities."

"You do need technical expertise to set up the product."
"All Cisco equipment tends to be expensive compared to newer options from other vendors."
"I'm not noticing any missing features."
"Sometimes if we're always having some network issues, or maybe the client is having some network issues, we might get disconnected."

"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client could improve by adding faster connectivity."
"It would be better if there was a little bit of flexibility for organizations that don't have SD One in their environment. Because of the complexity of the environment, it's not easy to actually turn on the feature of the secure internet gateway for our users. We have not been able to explore that option yet."
