38 OpenDNS Testimonials

"Rather than having to put one-off rules into an appliance to allow for exceptions, we can easily assign local technical people the authority to change rules on their own networks in Umbrella."

“I’d recommend Umbrella to anyone looking for a cost-effective solution that just plain works.”

"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.”

"Umbrella Insights offers straightforward Web-based administration that’s easy to configure and maintain. We would absolutely recommend it to other organizations.”

"When we switched to Umbrella we were able to virtually eradicate support tickets regarding malware for our main campus and remote facilities – literally overnight.”

“Being able to show [my CEO] where we were before OpenDNS and where we are now, it’s night and day. Hopefully we can continue to be proactive.”

“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,”

“Our previous content filtering solution was the Achilles heel for the network. Anytime it had a performance problem it was felt everywhere since all http traffic went through these appliances. With Umbrella we no longer have to worry about performance or scalability.”

"It’s the easiest to deploy, lowest total cost of ownership overall, with no network bottlenecks due to changes in traffic demand, and high reliability.”

“By offering OpenDNS at no charge, we demonstrate to prospective customers that we will help them with improving their productivity, not just managing their IT infrastructure. OpenDNS is an investment for Mirus IT,”

“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.”

“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.”

“No proxy servers and no appliances- it was completely painless for us.”

"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."
