Back in January we kicked off 2019 with news of the announcement of our Jan. 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice distinction.
We are thrilled to share that Gartner has recently included Cisco in their first ever Gartner Peer Insights ‘Voice of the Customer’ report for the Secure Web Gateways (SWG) market for Cisco Umbrella.
Gartner Peer Insights is a peer review and ratings platform designed for IT decision makers. The ‘Voice of the Customer’ report synthesizes Gartner Peer Insights’ content in the SWG market for 2018. As Gartner notes in granting this recognition, “this peer perspective, along with the individual detailed reviews, is complementary to expert research and should play a key role in the customer buying process.”
In the report, Cisco received the highest overall rating with a 4.6 out of 5 in the SWG market, based on 85 reviews for Cisco, as of 31 December 2018.
Umbrella protects users from connecting to malicious sites on the internet anywhere they go. With Umbrella, you can see threats before they launch, and block them before they become attacks.
We are delighted to see our customers rating us highly on Gartner Peer Insights. In our view, we are always keeping a pulse on customer feedback and iterating to deliver the very best in everything we do — from product capabilities to customer support. From our perspective, this rating provides a level of validation directly from our customers!
‘Voice of the Customer’ SWG Report highlights:
Cisco received the highest ratings in the report for both overall rating and product capabilities.*
We also received the highest rating across evaluation and contracting, integration and deployment, and service and support.*
We believe that these reviews are consistent with what we have been seeing across our own touchpoints with Umbrella customers.
Here are a few highlights from a recent customer survey on Umbrella, conducted by TechValidate:
- After deploying Umbrella, 85% of respondents saw value within less than 1 week
- More than half of survey respondents saw a reduction in malware infections by 75% or more
- More than two-thirds of respondents stated that Umbrella helped to improve protection for remote workers and branch offices by 75%
We believe these reviews tell a story that Umbrella is delivering exceptional value to customers. In our view, our Customers’ Choice distinction pushes us to continue the efforts that led to this recognition.
