SMB IT teams running Cisco Umbrella in 2026 hit four limits fast: DNS can't see HTTPS, the bolted-on SWG backhauls, personal and corporate accounts look identical, and the console sprawls. dope.security is the endpoint SWG built for lean IT.

Midsize SaaS engineering teams outgrow Netskope's cloud-proxy SSE because every GitHub clone, AWS session, and AI prompt has to traverse a remote PoP. dope.security is the endpoint-based Netskope alternative built for 250 to 2,000 engineering-heavy companies.

Cisco Umbrella's DNS-layer architecture cannot tell a personal ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini login apart from your enterprise tenant. Here is what an endpoint SWG sees that DNS does not, and why dope.security is the AI-era Umbrella replacement.

Zscaler backhauls every trader and analyst session through its cloud, which adds latency to market data and complicates the third-party inspection conversation about MNPI. See why some financial services teams are switching to dope.security, where Zscaler still fits, and how the renewal math changes with one console.

Netskope backhauls clinician traffic through cloud data centers, which adds latency to EHR sessions and complicates the PHI inspection conversation. See when an endpoint SWG is the better healthcare fit, where Netskope still fits, and how dope.security collapses SWG, CASB, DLP, and CAC into one console.

Cisco Umbrella's DNS layer can't inspect content, and its DLP lives in the separately licensed SIG proxy. See what DNS misses and how dope.security's endpoint SWG handles it with on-device DLP, AI prompt inspection, and zero-retention classification.
