The solution is easy to implement, but the scalability and technical support must be improved
The solution is used for endpoint security The simplicity of implementation is valuable. The way the management file is integrated into the environment must be improved. Currently, I am using the solution. The tool is stable. We did not have any issues with it. I rate the tool’s scalability a…

Support and integration enhance security posture over three years
I don't know if there's something that could be improved. They surprise me. As I mentioned, I returned a month ago. I haven't fully investigated the complete system yet. I must say that we have been with them for around three years. This is amazing because throughout these three years, they have supported us every week. We meet weekly to review results and fix issues together. Apart from occasional days off, this weekly support has been consistent for three years. It's remarkable because many products are sold and then the product teams forget about you, but this isn't the case with Cymulate.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to implement and is very scalable, it also comes with very good documentation, and Cisco provides good technical support as well."
"The simplicity of implementation is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with firewalls. It's integrated with AMP so the ecosystem with equal solutions from Threat Grid is good with CISCO products."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"Cymulate has positively impacted our organization by helping us to take care of the efficacy and reviewing the policies and configuration."
"With Cymulate, the best features are the capacity to test the EDR or malware, anti-malware solution."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
 

Cons

"They come in and have multiple management solutions but it doesn't scan or doesn't have the ability to look at every file extension."
"Support must be improved."
"There are other competitors who do it better. They have a better market share and you can see they have better visibility on the fleet."
"I was told that the user interface could be more user friendly and easy in comparison to that of competitors. I remember that there is a competitor who has a much easier interface for many users to interact with."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"The way Cymulate works for EDR could be improved, as it drops payload and requires action from the EDR console for remediation, which can block the whole process of Cymulate execution."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"We have had some trouble with the agents."
"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I remember correctly, the licensing cost is a little bit higher than that of the competitor."
"The product is affordable."
"Cymulate's services are expensive."
