Find out in this report how the two Domain Name System (DNS) Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the DNS layer security."
"The single-pane-of-glass management is very important. We have a very small team. We can't spend a lot of time going from product to product to product to either investigate or set up policy. We need to have one place that we can go to and set everything up."
"It provides centralized, device-agnostic management of the Internet experience."
"We are very new users of the solution and are still in the exploration stages, but we are happy with the product thus far."
"Web proxy adds an effective layer for security."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to detect if a URL has malware or is vulnerable."
"Stability-wise, it's good. I have never encountered any bugs."
"The most valuable feature for us is the DNS-based protection."
"Almost everyone who uses it is happy about the product. I don't get any types of complaints from my clients."
"The dashboard of the solution is a valuable feature."
"The installation is easy and doesn't take long. The program speedy and doesn't crash. It doesn't consume computer hardware or software."
"Webroot excels in DNS protection, particularly in blocking malicious sites and phishing."
"DNS protection is valuable."
"When compared with other products, Webroot DNS Protection is the best to secure the end users."
"They should provide more integrations and bring things together so that there is a more standard feel to their platform. We also use Cisco ISE, and it has a very different feel from Cisco Umbrella."
"It has happened in the past that Cisco Umbrella has denied us access to secure websites."
"I'm hoping for the conversion of Cisco ZTNA's features from Duo to Umbrella."
"It's a very new product, so it's quite immature at the moment. It can be more user friendly."
"Looking at the full umbrella suite in the light of SASE, Secure Access Service Edge, they are clearly lacking in the inline CASB."
"It needs better integration with external threat feeds to improve scoring."
"I would like to see more integrability with other products."
"Missing a real data leakage prevention solution."
"The price could be improved."
"If the solution could integrate with FortiGate where there would only be a need of one dashboard instead of having to set policies on our firewall and our DNS, this would be helpful."
"The reporting system needs improvement. They should make is that we can customize it so we can add, remove or change its interface but they use a template. The reports cannot be changed."
"It needs to be more secure for production environments."
"Reporting is not done in real-time. Rather, it is done in 15-minute intervales. This is something that should be configurable by the admin."
"It addresses a specific risk related to malicious sites but doesn't cover broader security aspects."
