Likelihood to Recommend

Cisco Umbrella is best suited for all commercial offices where the security of internal & external users is of paramount importance. It is easy to deploy and can work very well even in branch offices without much onsite hardware. Umbrella's cloud managed firewall works wonders in terms of blocking applications and websites that have not been authorised by the company IT department.
