Why the Lumiun DNS?

Cisco Umbrella is a recognized security DNS solution, but its high cost and complex configuration can make it unfeasible for many companies. Lumiun DNS is the ideal alternative, offering advanced DNS filtering, an intuitive interface, specialized Portuguese-speaking support, and more affordable prices.

Better Cost-Benefit and Affordable Plans.
Cisco Umbrella can be a robust solution, but its high costs can make it unfeasible for small and medium-sized businesses. Lumiun DNS offers more affordable plans, allowing businesses of any size to have high-level security without compromising their budget.
Intuitive and Easy-to-Use Interface.
While Cisco Umbrella requires advanced configurations and integration with Cisco solutions, Lumiun DNS was designed to be simple and intuitive, making implementation and management easy without the need for technical expertise.
Specialized Support and Portuguese-Speaking.
Unlike Cisco Umbrella, which only offers support in English, Lumiun DNS has a team of Portuguese-speaking experts, ensuring fast support via chat, WhatsApp, and email.
