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.

Crowdsourced triage has uncovered critical website vulnerabilities and continuously improves our security posture
Bugcrowd could be improved or enhanced as they seem to have a lot of internal churn at the moment, so they could be more stable and more customer-focused. By customer-focused, I mean they are not very good at communicating what is changing on their side to their customers. I am now on my fourth account manager within one year. My latest call with them was with the fourth account manager saying there have been many changes and apologizing that no one I have spoken to in the past is on this call, but going forwards it will be them. With the fourth account manager in a year, it is hard to trust that message.

Support and integration enhance security posture over three years
I don't know if there's something that could be improved. They surprise me. As I mentioned, I returned a month ago. I haven't fully investigated the complete system yet. I must say that we have been with them for around three years. This is amazing because throughout these three years, they have supported us every week. We meet weekly to review results and fix issues together. Apart from occasional days off, this weekly support has been consistent for three years. It's remarkable because many products are sold and then the product teams forget about you, but this isn't the case with Cymulate.

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."
"Seemplicity really shines on that remediation component and being able to automate that workflow, and that's a gap where we could not find one of our existing technology partners to be able to fill that void."
"Seemplicity has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to provide a single viewpoint into vulnerability management and pen testing for our customers."
"The best features Seemplicity offers include the aggregation logic, the way it is simplified to view and access, and the ability to have a view in a simpler way."
"Seemplicity has a huge positive impact on our organization because once we have a vulnerability, it acts as a great assistant with its auto-mitigate feature, which can be used for a variety of different types of vulnerabilities, supporting our cybersecurity analysis."
"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."
"I would rate Bugcrowd a ten out of ten."
"Working on Bugcrowd has made me a better security engineer since it provides a competitive environment to report successful vulnerabilities."
"One of the features I like most about Bugcrowd is the ability to create a report in a very easy way."
"I believe Bugcrowd is highly stable."
"Bugcrowd's support team is very active and supportive."
"Bugcrowd has programs that disclose rewards and invite researchers to new programs."
"The most valuable aspect of Bugcrowd is that it provides a long list of different websites or web applications where I can report vulnerabilities."
"Bugcrowd's use of crowdsourced hackers has helped in discovering unique vulnerabilities."
"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."
"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."
"With Cymulate, the best features are the capacity to test the EDR or malware, anti-malware solution."
 

Cons

"Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time."
"Seemplicity could use more improvement around the user interface."
"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 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."
"Seemplicity can be improved because sometimes the rule setting can be a little complicated, and for instance, filtering out the criteria may not be useful at times, as it can be too complicated based on the business requirements."
"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."
"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."
"To improve Seemplicity, I would suggest having more knowledge base and more threat intel."
"There is room for improvement in Bugcrowd's response time when customer input is needed for resolving tickets. If this time could be minimized, it would be very helpful."
"Bugcrowd should provide more access to the reports, similar to HackerOne, allowing for full disclosure once a bug is resolved, so researchers can learn from them. They should improve the responsibility type and response time of their customer support, especially when the issue is urgent."
"The triaging process has slowed down compared to three years ago. It now takes more time to resolve a reported vulnerability and receive the payout."
"Bugcrowd could be improved or enhanced as they seem to have a lot of internal churn at the moment, so they could be more stable and more customer-focused."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
"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."
