Member And Investor at OpenWeb
Seemplicity sort of multiplies maybe 4x what we would have to spend in terms of employee hiring or actual analysts to be able to triage and remediate these vulnerabilities.
Managing Director
I was also able to pay for the tool twice over by using it for tool rationalization.
Vice President Of Security Architecture And Engineering at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
Our primary requirement is security rather than cost savings.

While cost savings are sometimes required, our primary requirement is security.
CEO at URS LLP
I would say time saved for sure, and also the cost was very justifiable.
IT Director at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Pentera has significantly affected our organization by dropping our mean time to remediate critical vulnerabilities because the remediation team can clearly evidence the exploit instead of debating CVSS scores, and our security posture has improved.
Ai Expert at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees
Some customers consider the ROI favorable, but facing difficulties now due to changes in the licensing model, which has made it more expensive compared to last year.

There is room for improvement in a generic approach to queue management and more proactive collaboration with security analysts, developers, and infrastructure teams on tickets.
Member And Investor at OpenWeb
With the introduction of AI and agentic AI and more involvement in day-to-day tasks, it would be great if this platform starts remediating the vulnerabilities as well.

Pentera's pricing divides users; some see it as valuable, others find the $120,000 fee substantial yet noteworthy.
Pricing and licensing were straightforward, and we had direct discussions with the CEO of the company, which allowed us to arrive at a price point that worked for both sides.

Licensing was clear and predictable; I appreciate there being no surprise costs creeping in after the fact, especially as someone who has to plan budgets.

Vice President Of Security Architecture And Engineering at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Vulnerability insights have reduced exposure and guide my team to prioritize remediation effectively
The best features of CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management are vulnerability management and providing remediation for the vulnerabilities, continuously doing external scanning on my IPs, and also reporting vulnerabilities on them. It speeds things up for my team because CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management continuously looks for vulnerabilities on my endpoints and servers as well as my external IPs, and then my team is able to use the report to take action on them, either remediate them or patch them. CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management has increased and improved my security posture, and my open vulnerability count is now at a minimum due to the effectiveness of it. My monthly vulnerabilities have come down by around 80% on a regular basis. Within CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, it gives a good overview; the dashboard is pretty helpful because it breaks down vulnerabilities based on severity, remediation, and which are actionable. My team is able to use that information to take action on a regular basis. CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management's exposure management dashboard provides much detail and insights into the vulnerabilities that are identified as well as what the root cause is for the vulnerability on the affected endpoint, and also provides remediation steps. I find it very useful, and my team does as well. CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management does a really good job in identifying vulnerabilities as well as breaking it down by severity as well as available remediations. It improves my security stack as well as my security posture.

Automated testing has reduced manual effort and improves remediation of critical vulnerabilities
The biggest friction point with Pentera is the need for more granular control or the ability to exclude specific sensitive systems, as well as the necessity for the cloud environment to mature. While Pentera excels in on-premises and hybrid setups, its AWS and Azure attack path simulation is not as deep compared to others.If I could change one thing in Pentera to improve my workflow the most, it would be the platform UI because some security team members are not penetration testing specialists, making it difficult for them to navigate. I would make it easier with more guided workflows.
