Find out in this report how the two Continuous Controls Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
If an auditor was normally budgeted to take 600 hours, we have implemented a solution to take those audit hours down to 200 hours.
It has proven value in terms of time saving and efficiency, so much so that using open-source tools like Python is not necessary.
There was a specific issue that our other security tooling did not pick up, but XM Cyber did.
It's reduced the timescale to remediate vulnerabilities that are identified as representing a high risk.
This rating is due to slow response times; it would take more than 5 days to respond.
For major technical issues, resolutions typically took six to eight hours.
I escalate many questions to technical support, and they usually respond to me.
The customer support is fantastic; it's probably some of the best we've received across all our security vendors.
Customer support for XM Cyber is good, responsive, and it follows up on issues.
It is a vendor application, and you do not have much power in terms of what we can adjust.
Its scalability is great; it's easy to deploy and fully scalable.
We have not experienced any issues with scalability or reached its limits.
I would rate how stable this solution is as a 10.
It didn't take more than half an hour for our IT team to resolve the issue.
I occasionally experience lag when extracting Excel sheets after formulating and setting up the required data.
We have quite a complex and large IT estate, and we've certainly experienced no limitations or problems arising from the ability of XM Cyber's product to scale across that estate.
It would also be beneficial if ACL Analytics included features similar to Tableau for data presentation.
While we had e-learning resources to assist, a more intuitive platform would be beneficial.
We have an issue with the hard coding of passwords in ACL Analytics. You do not have an interface where you can enter a password and then it can be encrypted when you enter it.
We push the boundaries with digital twins; I understand XM Cyber uses a similar concept of graph databases to map environments.
The part that can be improved is the mobile exposure and the IBM i specific equipment.
We intend to develop closer integration between XM Cyber and the other tools that help us tackle the issue of threats and vulnerabilities across our IT estate.
I would rate the pricing of ACL Analytics as a 10.
ACL Analytics is quite affordable compared to the market.
For example, a thousand dollars last year cost three thousand pounds, but today it is five thousand pounds.
We have a large, complicated estate, and in the licensing discussions, we were keen not to have the cost balloon because of the complication, the number of PCs and servers that we have.
The most valuable feature of ACL Analytics is its error suggestion capability, where it indicates problems if operations are incorrect.
With over a million clients, this feature helps tremendously in identifying fraud detection in client accounts.
I can access data from various sources, both relational and non-relational databases, using one tool.
Our loss exposure amount has reduced significantly, leading to two big wins: our loss exposure amount has gone down, and we have direct savings from focusing our team's time on what's important, allowing them to work on other business benefits and generate value for the company.
By far, the best feature of XM Cyber is being able to map out the way vulnerabilities can be exploited based on what they call the choke points in the network where the path that a bad actor would take comes closest to assets within our environment that are most vulnerable but also most valuable.
XM Cyber allows us to quantify the risk, and we are able to track remediation, so we can quantify the risk at an executive level and also to a technical IT team.

XM Cyber is a leading hybrid cloud security company that’s changing the way innovative organizations approach cyber risk. Our attack path management platform continuously uncovers hidden attack paths to your critical assets across cloud and on-prem environments, so you can cut them off at key junctures and eradicate risk with a fraction of the effort. This overcomes the big disconnect that security teams experience when they’re presented with endless alerts, yet can’t see which exposures impact risk the most, how they come together to be exploited by an attacker, or how to efficiently eliminate them. This approach is a complete game-changer, which is why some of the world’s largest, most complex organizations choose XM Cyber to help eradicate risk. Founded by top executives from the Israeli cyber intelligence community, XM Cyber has offices in North America, Europe, and Israel.
We monitor all Continuous Controls Monitoring reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
