38 OpenDNS Testimonials

“With lightweight Umbrella we can now identify and block malware before users even know how to find it.”

"Umbrella is a comprehensive solution that saves us time and money through easy-to-manage Web filtering and embedded malware protection.”

“OpenDNS protects us far better than other solutions because it stops threats from ever entering onto the network. It’s a feature I wouldn’t want to be without as it keeps our users safe and reduces the amount of work we have to perform repairing machines that have been infected.”

"Even if Umbrella Enterprise was price neutral or more expensive, it would still be the best model for us in our fight against malware. Fortunately, it actually offers us a lower total cost of ownership and allows us to remain leading edge and up-to-date with almost no maintenance on our part."

“security gaps went unpatched for months because we didn’t have time to update the server.”

“When we need to apply a global block, or a global bypass, we were able to do it within two minutes for every one of our 18 sites, from Hawaii to Chicago. It would have taken us all day with Websense,”

"It was crystal clear during our free trial that Umbrella Enterprise works as promised."

“At that point, it’s easy. Once I’ve identified it, I can go to that machine and start removing the virus, and I can always check with OpenDNS to ensure that those requests have stopped. So, in addition to identifying issues, OpenDNS gives you peace of mind afterwards that what you did to remove the virus actually removed it, and it’s not just operating in the background somewhere.”

"Umbrella gives us the opportunity to do something fundamentally different: by simply clicking a check box we began a proactive approach to fighting malware, and eliminated maintenance as all updates take place instantly from the cloud."

"Umbrella’s security solutions are the standard in the market for this unique type of malware protection. They’re different from other options we evaluated because they prevent the client’s computer from ever touching a malicious site.”

“Previously, malware would just crash your computer, but today it’s a whole new world of threats, so people need to rely on experts like OpenDNS to help fight it. I have a much better feeling about our network security knowing that I have a DNS-based, cloud solution like OpenDNS.”

“Becky was running around cleaning up problems instead of supporting classrooms, research, and core University business. Now we’re able to focus on the right kind of problems.”

“We have 23 physical locations and numerous traveling devices, it was essential that we found a solution that be managed remotely. Umbrella won hands down.”

“Since Umbrella can block inappropriate and malicious content exclusively at the DNS layer, I’ve been able to uninstall heavy filtering software, and free up a lot of my time. I would absolutely recommend Umbrella to other library systems.”

"Unlike proxy-based or span port appliance solutions, Umbrella only handles the DNS request, so instead of dealing with annoying network bottlenecks our libraries’ technology teams can focus on better serving our communities.”
