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.

Continuous validation has transformed our SOC and now proves control effectiveness with evidence
Running in our SOC, it moves the conversation from assumptions and dashboards to measurable proof, which is exactly what makes AttackIQ valuable in day-to-day security operations. The breach and attack simulation that supports testing, prevention, detection, and response is a key feature for me, as is the ongoing exposure management, rather than a one-time security assessment. AttackIQ's reporting helps translate technical findings into actionable remediation steps, which are easy to understand. The continuous validation of security controls through repeatable attack simulations is a massive advantage for me. Once properly implemented, AttackIQ becomes a valuable part of a continuous validation program. The one feature I rely on the most from AttackIQ is specifically the continuous validation of security controls through repeatable attack simulations. From the reporting that stands out, once you have the report, the translation from a technical finding perspective and how they align with actionable remediation steps is easy to understand, which helps significantly. From a SOC perspective, AttackIQ running in our SOC is a solid enterprise-grade platform delivering genuine operational value. The biggest strength for me is the realism, its alignment with all the compliance situations we might have, and the ability to continuously validate control effectiveness. By doing that, we can continuously provide feedback to our customers to ensure they are running the best of breed for their security posture and environment. AttackIQ is best viewed as a tool that helps a SOC move from assumption-based security to evidence-based security, while providing reporting that can easily be communicated in layman's terms to your customer base. It is most effective for teams that want to prove their controls work, identify gaps early, and continuously improve rather than just rely on periodic testing alone.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Seemplicity has positively impacted my organization by helping reduce the overhead for our SecOps team to manually create vulnerability tickets."
"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."
"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."
"I was also able to pay for the tool twice over by using it for tool rationalization."
"Seemplicity is helping us generate immense ROI in terms of helping secure our infrastructure, applications, endpoints, and understanding vulnerabilities that we really did not have a good process of understanding before."
"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."
"I think of Seemplicity as a fantastic company and a fantastic partner to work with."
"The biggest impact Seemplicity has had on my organization is turning what used to be a fragmented, manual process into something structured and accountable."
"Overall, I've had a good experience with the product. It's worked well for me."
"AttackIQ has had a positive impact on the organization, especially in the areas of continuous security validation, detection improvement, and overall defensive readiness, with highlights including improved visibility into detection gaps, stronger security controls validation, better SOC readiness, and faster detection engineering improvements, which are improvement areas we have implemented in our project using AttackIQ."
"Running in our SOC, it moves the conversation from assumptions and dashboards to measurable proof, which is exactly what makes AttackIQ valuable in day-to-day security operations."
"AttackIQ is solving a lot of the problems that I had before or that we as an organization had before, even the security team, so it is solving all my issues."
"After using AttackIQ, it has helped the team and the company improve on false positives and reduce risk, as most people are now capable of identifying how to work on detection, improving fine-tuning and all those things."
"AttackIQ has improved my security posture by validating security controls, identifying detection gaps, and increasing confidence in my detection and response capabilities."
"I would also prefer CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management from a technical perspective because it has many more features and it is much more granular, and you can learn a lot from that."
"The solution works smoothly with no scalability issues."
"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 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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Seemplicity could use more improvement around the user interface."
"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."
"Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup was quite difficult and took a long time."
"I would appreciate deeper integrations with security tools. AI-assisted remediations and recommendations would be helpful."
"The initial setup was difficult. It was not straightforward."
"One area for improvement is the initial configuration complexity, which is very complex in the initial stage to configure the whole thing and integrate with the SOC, presenting a learning curve for organizations that are new to adversary emulation or continuous security validation, particularly concerning the initial setup scenario customization and workflow tuning."
"The customer support for AttackIQ is good but can be better."
"There is a learning curve at the beginning, especially for teams that are quite new to a BAS or continuous validation solution."
"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 solution should have more robust integration with different tools and technologies in the network to enhance its overall capability."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management does not provide baselining based on CIS, NIST, ISO."
"In CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, I am not entirely happy with the integrations, but to a certain point, it is good."
"They could enhance CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management with features such as identity protection and next-gen SIEM in the future."
"We are not satisfied with their delayed responses to issues. They do not reply on time, and there are always some technical issues."
