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

"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
"Cymulate has positively impacted our organization by helping us to take care of the efficacy and reviewing the policies and configuration."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The organizational view simplifies management and improves visibility, helping us identify areas for action."
"The dashboard is valuable. It provides a comprehensive view of our security status and allows us to compare ourselves with other companies using Trend Vision."
"Trend Micro can integrate third-party tools, such as Fortinet, Cisco, or any other vendor's firewall, to get the logs and alerts from them. Vision One is much more capable in that way."
"Trend Vision One offers superior integrations, enhanced tool capabilities, and expanded solutions for network security, firewalls, and remote malware scanning."
"The workbench alerts provide valuable insights into attack chains and relevant information, while Observer techniques give a comprehensive overview of ongoing activities."
"Trend Vision One's most valuable feature is its centralized console, which provides comprehensive security features, including attack surface risk management."
"Trend Micro XDR is stable, scalable, and reasonably priced."
 

Cons

"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"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."
"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
"The solution only supports Windows and Mac. It would be helpful if it could support other OS, such as Linux."
"I would like Trend Vision One to incorporate more AI."
"Having more variables within the playbook would be useful. It would allow us to have more refined playbooks for the business. It would allow us to take stronger action through a playbook. It will give us confidence to target a particular area of business where our risk tolerance might be higher or lower. We would like to have more granular playbooks."
"Vision One's search could be improved. While the platform is very user-friendly, the search feature uses terms that aren't as intuitive."
"We've received some mild complaints that the documentation is sometimes not up to date."
"It should integrate with more tools. There are a lot of tools that can do the PTP dump."
"A room for improvement in Trend Micro XDR is more visibility into the alerts. We do get alerts from the solution, but when we are away, we need to have more visibility."
"The only downside to Trend Vision One is its complexity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cymulate's services are expensive."
"The product is affordable."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"The price is reasonable. It's not exorbitant. CrowdStrike and other players are on the higher side."
"Trend Micro XDR is reasonably priced for its value, comparable to other products like VMware Carbon Black."
"Its price is very decent. It suits our requirements."
"Trend Micro solutions are very expensive compared to other solutions. Even though everything is in one console, each feature requires a separate license."
"The price for Trend Vision One is reasonable compared to Microsoft and Symantec."
"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."
"Competitors offer comparable solutions at slightly lower prices, so Vision One has room to reduce its pricing by 15 percent, given that Trend Vision One charges approximately $10 per endpoint."
