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.

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.

Exposure monitoring has provided clear risk insights but still needs stronger cloud and data posture
I believe there are two to three areas where Rapid7 Exposure Command can be improved. First, cloud integrations and the ability to assess cloud posture are essential components of an organization's external attack surface nowadays. Rapid7 Exposure Command has the cloud posture assessment feature, but in my opinion, it should be linked with cloud compliance requirements being introduced locally and internationally. Secondly, regarding data criticality, Rapid7 Exposure Command integrates the DSPM feature, which stands for Data Security Posture Management. I believe this feature is present, but it requires enhancement with global data protection regulations such as GDPR. I am learning about more features in products such as Rapid7 Exposure Command. I mentioned cloud posture assessment across Oracle Cloud, Azure Cloud, and AWS Cloud. Features specific to these cloud offerings would be beneficial. With AWS having separate cloud offerings, Rapid7 Exposure Command must cover all available AWS offerings and relevant services. To be honest, this is an area where I am still learning, so I cannot provide a precisely detailed answer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"When we started with Seemplicity, we saw an 85% reduction in the number of tickets through deduplication, and that is significant for our teams who are swamped with issues."
"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."
"I think of Seemplicity as a fantastic company and a fantastic partner to work with."
"Seemplicity has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to provide a single viewpoint into vulnerability management and pen testing for our customers."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"Cymulate has positively impacted our organization by helping us to take care of the efficacy and reviewing the policies and configuration."
"With Cymulate, the best features are the capacity to test the EDR or malware, anti-malware solution."
"Compared to Tenable or Qualys, Rapid7 Exposure Command is definitely affordable for small-sized or mid-sized engagements, although there are some challenges with detection."
"Rapid7 Exposure Command provides me with satisfaction knowing that my external attack surface and digital risk are being monitored."
 

Cons

"As the account is growing, some of the dashboards are slowing down, so optimizing that could be one area for improvement."
"My advice to others looking into using Seemplicity is to be aware that you will get more information from support than from the documents themselves, and it can take a bit of time after feeding in data to show meaningful results."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There are some bits on the cleanliness of dashboarding and maybe a little bit on the reporting side, but not too much improvement needed as of now."
"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."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"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 reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"We have had some trouble with the agents."
"In the Pakistani market, Rapid7 Exposure Command's pricing is on the expensive side, and that represents one of the challenges we are facing."
"Rapid7 Exposure Command is not as easy to deploy compared to Qualys, and the detection rates are lower than Qualys."
