Unified vulnerability data has reduced risk and currently cuts duplicate tools and license costs
Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time. I had to do some of that manually via manual reports, but Seemplicity already has a feature request for this. Seemplicity has done a pretty good job of keeping up with integrations. One gap that I identified and that Seemplicity is trying to fill now is having a complete end-to-end mapping. Seemplicity currently looks at the external attack surface using tools like Censys, and then looks at the internal side, examining what is in AWS and other clouds using CSPM. However, there is not anything that currently ties a property on the outside to a system on the inside, especially when you have additional security layers like web application firewalls that actually mitigate the risk.

Experience seamless integration and effective dashboard while considering improved EDR configuration support
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. They should create some KB articles for the granular exclusion from different platforms and improve their technical assistance support.

Exposure monitoring has provided clear risk insights but still needs stronger cloud and data posture
I believe there are two to three areas where Rapid7 Exposure Command can be improved. First, cloud integrations and the ability to assess cloud posture are essential components of an organization's external attack surface nowadays. Rapid7 Exposure Command has the cloud posture assessment feature, but in my opinion, it should be linked with cloud compliance requirements being introduced locally and internationally. Secondly, regarding data criticality, Rapid7 Exposure Command integrates the DSPM feature, which stands for Data Security Posture Management. I believe this feature is present, but it requires enhancement with global data protection regulations such as GDPR. I am learning about more features in products such as Rapid7 Exposure Command. I mentioned cloud posture assessment across Oracle Cloud, Azure Cloud, and AWS Cloud. Features specific to these cloud offerings would be beneficial. With AWS having separate cloud offerings, Rapid7 Exposure Command must cover all available AWS offerings and relevant services. To be honest, this is an area where I am still learning, so I cannot provide a precisely detailed answer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Seemplicity has helped us see a return on investment by reducing the need for an L1 analyst for AppSec findings through its categorization, deduplication, and automatic remediation assignments, which has significantly decreased the headcount required for initial analysis."
"Seemplicity has positively impacted my organization by helping reduce the overhead for our SecOps team to manually create vulnerability tickets."
"The biggest impact Seemplicity has had on my organization is turning what used to be a fragmented, manual process into something structured and accountable."
"I think of Seemplicity as a fantastic company and a fantastic partner to work with."
"Seemplicity is doing amazing work, and organizations were able to better meet their SLAs, better communicate to their leadership and executive level about the overall risk and exposure levels, and overall have a better understanding of what they are dealing with."
"When we started with Seemplicity, we saw an 85% reduction in the number of tickets through deduplication, and that is significant for our teams who are swamped with issues."
"Before we really struggled with meeting SLAs that were in place because we did not have the information we needed and there was too much back and forth, now we nearly have a perfect SLA meeting time."
"We have seen improvements in remediation rates, as initially a lot of our metrics were in the red, but now all are in the green or yellow."
"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
"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 most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"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."
"Rapid7 Exposure Command provides me with satisfaction knowing that my external attack surface and digital risk are being monitored."
"Compared to Tenable or Qualys, Rapid7 Exposure Command is definitely affordable for small-sized or mid-sized engagements, although there are some challenges with detection."
 

Cons

"Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time."
"As the account is growing, some of the dashboards are slowing down, so optimizing that could be one area for improvement."
"Seemplicity could be improved with some of the aggregation accessibility. Currently, it is a bit of a black box and can be a bit of a bottleneck."
"The capability out of the box today is decent, but over time, if we can allow users and organizations to build their own view and how they want to report on things, that would be a great value add."
"For Seemplicity, I would say two things for improvement. First, reporting customization could go further because this industry is evolving; the CEO tries to get much information that they are looking for."
"Every tool, including Seemplicity, can improve, and I think it needs to further enhance its deduplication capabilities and understand how to integrate with more security tools, especially as new AI security tools emerge."
"Seemplicity could use more improvement around the user interface."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"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 product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"We have had some trouble with the agents."
"In the Pakistani market, Rapid7 Exposure Command's pricing is on the expensive side, and that represents one of the challenges we are facing."
"Rapid7 Exposure Command is not as easy to deploy compared to Qualys, and the detection rates are lower than Qualys."
