38 OpenDNS Testimonials

"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."

“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.”

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

“I had to make a few policies for specific users — you just click on the user and add them to the policy. It’s enforced globally in just a few minutes.”

"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."

"Umbrella has freed up valuable time for our system administrator to work on other projects”

“Things that were a problem before just aren’t problems anymore, because the botnet controller can’t call home and it’s not putting other people at risk for infection.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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,”

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

"Umbrella Enterprise has always done a great job of showing us that someone on the network was trying to access a site with malware – and more importantly – preventing it. Now with Umbrella Insights and the Active Directory integration we can immediately identify which machines are attempting to access the malicious site and at what time."

“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."

"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.”
