They're definitely different from umbrellas--unlike umbrellas, they aren't designed to withstand a heavy rain. I think they use UPF ratings, like clothing does. The highest rating is UPF 50+, which blocks at least 98% of UV. This is the one I use, and it seems to block the sunlight pretty much completely, although you might prefer one that isn't frilly. The trick is to make sure you get an opaque parasol designed specifically for sun protection, rather than a "fashion" parasol that's only meant to look nice.
The only real issue I've had with parasols is that the shadow they cast can totally protect my upper body if I keep my arms in, but doesn't protect my legs at all. But that's not a problem if you sunscreen your legs or wear long pants. They're super nice in hot weather especially, because while sunscreen just protects your skin, parasols keep you cool at the same time.
