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.

The CREM feature is an absolutely essential feature that helps us meet security requirements
Since we started using Trend Vision One, we've been able to enhance our security posture significantly. Trend Vision One has improved significantly over time in providing centralized visibility and control. It started as a set of individual products, but now it feels like one integrated solution. This reduces the need for interfaces or multiple analysis tools. That's why we pursued the one-platform strategy. Trend Vision One has definitely helped consolidate our use of security vendors. We previously used standalone products for endpoint and email protection that weren't integrated. Now, we get the benefits of an integrated solution. I'd estimate we're 50–70% better in security now than we were two years ago. The Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM)feature is absolutely essential. Even though we're not critical infrastructure, the NIS2 directive gives us security guidelines. CREM helps us meet these requirements. It is very important to our organization that Trend Vision One integrates AI into the platform. Pattern recognition in forensic data is no longer manageable by humans due to the volume of events. Machine learning is essential to process these and filter what needs human attention. Trend Vision One has improved our organization significantly. Security tasks used to be manual. Now, technology prevents issues or supports staff in detecting them. This shift from manual to technical solutions greatly increased our security. Trend Vision One has reduced the time we spend detecting and responding to threats. I'd say we're 80% faster than before. The platform gives us consolidated data upfront, so we don't have to search for event clues manually. Trend Vision One has helped reduce false alarms. I'd estimate a 50–60% time saving. We have more alerts now than years ago, but also better systems to handle them, making the whole process more efficient. Trend Vision One has helped reduce our cyber risk overall. We now know where gaps are before they become problems, whereas in the past we had to guess. That's a massive improvement. When it comes to operations, the CREM solution helps us identify vulnerabilities in systems. If we patch them, they disappear from the reports—this gives us actionable insights, which is incredibly helpful. It took about half a year to realize the benefits of Trend Vision One after implementation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cymulate has positively impacted our organization by helping us to take care of the efficacy and reviewing the policies and configuration."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"Trend Vision One has improved the way our organization functions by acting as both a monitoring tool and an antivirus, giving us insight on potential threats and enhancing our response time to security incidents."
"Trend Vision One provides centralized visibility and management across protection layers, which is crucial for compliance."
"Trend Vision One helped reduce the time to detect and respond to threats by 70% to 80%."
"The most important thing for us as a customer is that we can spend more time in other places as it's simpler to have that overview. We have much more time for other tasks."
"The workbench alerts provide valuable insights into attack chains and relevant information, while Observer techniques give a comprehensive overview of ongoing activities."
"It helps a lot to understand where the threat is coming from, where is it going, how is it being dealt with, et cetera."
"We had a quick deployment. The solution is easy to set up."
"The most significant recent change has been the addition of the new AI companion."
 

Cons

"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
"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."
"I believe that the interface could be more user-friendly. At times, it is challenging to locate certain features, and they need to reorganize the user interfaces."
"It would be ideal if they could improve the control of connectivity between sensors."
"The integration with third-party tools and with on-premises Active Directory needs improvement."
"Improving the user interface would be helpful—it can be confusing, especially if you do not use it daily."
"There isn't a lot I'd do to change it. The web interface could be improved to sort of make it a little easier to manage multiple clients out of one location. It could also be made a bit easier to sort of manage the licensing side of it."
"While blocking an IP address restricts access for 30 days, it eventually becomes accessible again."
"There are limitations in terms of threat response actions."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved. They need to see more CVEs and scan products for known vulnerabilities, allowing for better display and review of potentially exploitable servers by hackers or through configuration settings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable."
"Cymulate's services are expensive."
"Trend Micro solutions are very expensive compared to other solutions. Even though everything is in one console, each feature requires a separate license."
"While the pricing and licensing for Trend Vision One are generally acceptable, the need to purchase additional features separately adds complexity."
"Vision One's pricing is extremely competitive. They're probably the lowest-cost provider that has this feature set."
"Trend Micro XDR is reasonably priced for its value, comparable to other products like VMware Carbon Black."
"The pricing for Trend Vision One is reasonable."
"Trend Vision One offers a competitive price-to-value ratio."
"It is very good. The flexibility to temporarily exceed license limits when setting up new devices is helpful, as it allows us to ensure security before purchasing additional licenses."
"Trend Micro's licensing is outsourced to third-party vendors, resulting in price variations depending on the vendor."
