When it comes to choosing a Domain Name System (DNS) solution for your company it’s important to make sure you’re selecting the right provider that will best meet your needs. Two of the top DNS providers on the market are Cisco Umbrella DNS and Fortiguard. Both providers offer a variety of features, but which one is right for you?

Cisco Umbrella is a cloud-based DNS security solution that hides a company's IP address to protect its networks from malware, phishing attempts, and malicious website downloads. It also provides secure access to applications and websites, as well as providing insights into user activity.

Fortiguard is another cloud-based DNS security solution. It is designed to protect an organization from malicious, phishing, and malware websites. It also provides insights into user activity and secure access to applications and websites. The differences between the two solutions is in the features and capabilities that they provide.

Cisco Umbrella provides advanced security features such as malware and phishing protection, secure browsing with anti-virus and anti-phishing scanning, and content filtering. It also allows users to customize their settings and create whitelists and blacklists of websites. Cisco Umbrella also provides insights into user activity with reporting and analytics.

Fortiguard, on the other hand, provides basic security features such as malware and phishing protection and content filtering. It does not provide the advanced security features that Cisco Umbrella provides. It also provides secure access to applications and websites as well as insights into user activity, but not to the same level as Cisco Umbrella.

When it comes to pricing, both Cisco Umbrella and Fortiguard provide competitive and cost-effective solutions. Cisco Umbrella offers a variety of plans at different price points, while Fortiguard offers a single plan. Depending on your particular needs, one provider might be more cost-effective than the other.
