Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved vulnerability detection efficiency but still requires better help desk integration
The positive aspect is that within CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, there is seamless integrity within vulnerability management. We don't need to deploy sensors within the campus because we have a university environment with multiple campuses in the region. In this scenario, the EDR, which is already deployed as a sensor, helps us scan vulnerabilities without installing any other agents in the system. It's quite seamless, and within the EDR dashboard, we can see the vulnerability of a device. In case of an attack or suspicious activity, we can map the vulnerabilities against that particular malicious activity. Although we don't need to deal directly with the machine learning part, it works quite efficiently, and the learning algorithms are also quite efficient in that perspective. Regarding automated asset discovery tools in CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, it was previously very hard to identify which PCs and servers had EDR. Now with exposure management, it's very easy to identify which servers are not having EDR in our environment. We can identify unmanaged assets and managed assets very easily, and it helps us reduce risk within the environment. We found many critical servers that didn't have EDR before enabling exposure management. The central dashboard is helpful for our team to respond to threats faster. It is quite automated, and direct team involvement is very low. Many cases are automatically dealt with within CrowdStrike. The workflows are quite seamless and easy to define. In case of any vulnerability or malicious activity, it automatically contains a device and isolates a particular system from the environment. This way, the support team is not crowded with different tickets and false positives.

Advanced cybersecurity solution for attack based vulnerability mng. and upskill platform for SOC.
While Cymulate's technology shows great promise and delivers excellent results, their approach to positioning the solution appears to overlap with other companies like Tenable, making them both direct and indirect competitors. Cymulate must refine their messaging and manage expectations effectively. In my experience, they need to be more attentive internally and mindful of potential negative impacts on customers. They exhibit a high degree of flexibility, which can result in sudden changes without adequate alerting. Communicating with them via phone for business matters can be challenging. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cymulate's technology level at eight, but their business level at four out of ten.

Pros

"The most beneficial feature in CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management is the security blocking, such as USB access and other .exe file auto runtime detection that sends alerts to us."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management offers robust capabilities in EDR and cloud security terms."
"The positive aspect is that within CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, there is seamless integrity within vulnerability management, and we don't need to deploy sensors within the campus because the EDR, which is already deployed as a sensor, helps us scan vulnerabilities without installing any other agents in the system."
"The solution works smoothly with no scalability issues."
"The final dashboard is impressive from my perspective, and I think many other companies only show vulnerabilities on the endpoint, but CrowdStrike provides a better overview of the whole environment."
"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."
"Cymulate has positively impacted our organization by helping us to take care of the efficacy and reviewing the policies and configuration."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
 

Cons

"They could enhance CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management with features such as identity protection and next-gen SIEM in the future."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management does not provide baselining based on CIS, NIST, ISO."
"The solution should have more robust integration with different tools and technologies in the network to enhance its overall capability."
"We are not satisfied with their delayed responses to issues. They do not reply on time, and there are always some technical issues."
"We experienced one outage from CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management due to patch updating, which occurred three to four months ago. It was a global outage of services that caused Windows systems to crash after the package update."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"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."
"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
