Integration checklist
- Bidirectional ticket / alert sync
No vendor-supported path; needs a webhook relay or automation platform.
- Asset / device mapping
Assets must be reconciled manually or via CSV import.
- Alert escalation rules
Escalation logic has to live in one system; expect duplicated rule sets.
- Billing reconciliation
Neither product owns billing — reconcile through your billing/PSA layer.
- Webhook / event support
Both sides expose event webhooks (API grades A and B).
Common bottlenecks & caveats
- Sync depth is non-existent — budget technician time or an automation platform such as Rewst.
- Seat minimums apply (DNSFilter: none, Cisco Umbrella: 100) — small tenants pay for unused units.
- Multi-tenant reporting is uneven between the two consoles, so cross-client rollups stay manual.
- Field mapping is not retroactive: records created before the integration is enabled usually need a one-time backfill.
