JohnLodini

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.

Jaya Shanker

IT Security Manager at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Has improved our vulnerability tracking and supports cloud-based monitoring with scheduled scans

We don't have any issues with Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. It works well for us, but the only problem is the licensing aspect. In the license, it becomes problematic because when we go to cloud security for vulnerability management, it will take five licenses instead of the one-on-one license that vulnerability exposure management requires. The license needs to be reviewed.

Stephen Owen

Group CISO at a insurance company with 51-200 employees

Has significantly improved risk visibility and optimized remediation efforts across dynamic environments

We tightly integrate with APIs, consuming feeds and open source data. We have integrated with XM Cyber, and we are elevating ourselves with AI and MCP tools as we view this as a forerunner to reducing the workload for our agents and IT staff. We're pushing all our security partners to provide AI and MCP tools. Our vision is for them to offer a chat interface where a junior IT or an experienced infrastructure engineer can ask for what needs to be patched next without using an interface. Their current interface is very usable and professional, ranking in the top tier of applications. Their reporting is good, offering custom reports, and their API integration is a new capability that serves us well. We have high expectations for the next generation, such as a chat interface to ask questions. However, everything has been very good. We push the boundaries with digital twins; I understand XM Cyber uses a similar concept of graph databases to map environments. I would like access to that and querying languages, enabling more informed business decisions. XM Cyber sees much of our estate, which is beneficial for making informed decisions, and we can harness those insights and data for business analytics. For instance, it could help us gain insights into change management—if a particular server impacts another and that server is supported by yet another server, we could glean significant insights for change management meetings.

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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 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 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."

"I was also able to pay for the tool twice over by using it for tool rationalization."

More Seemplicity pros

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"We find Tenable One Exposure Management Platform vulnerability prioritization effective overall because, with the scheduled scan running on our set schedule, we can remediate any findings and check on the next schedule if issues are closed, making it much easier for us to monitor vulnerabilities."

"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."

"Tenable EP is a great overall product for our customers; it's great at helping customers to identify current risks, it helps customers manage their risk, users can effectively analyze risk and can assign team members to take a look at items as well, the solution is very easy to set up, technical support is very helpful and responsive, and the pricing is pretty good."

"For me, the setup has been an easy process."

"The product gives us a lot of insight."

"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."

"What I personally like very much, from my experience, is that it is very reliable."

"XM Cyber permits us to identify if a zero-day vulnerability can affect our infrastructure; it helps me understand the company's total risk that we have in our infrastructure and workstation vulnerability, and it permits us to identify the real impact when we have a vulnerability."

"It saves you money while making you more secure."

"XM Cyber made it clear that browser vulnerabilities were the top priority because the platform was able to examine how vulnerabilities within our estate could be exploited and what the path would be from some bad actor in order to exploit those vulnerabilities."

"Six weeks into using XM Cyber, we saw a compelling return on investment—primarily in risk reduction, with a specific issue our other security tooling did not pick up but XM Cyber did, reducing IT remediation time and saving over 60,000 US dollars per year while significantly lowering our loss exposure amount."

"The platform's most valuable feature is attack simulation."

"Since implementing XM Cyber, we have improved the way we are doing patching, focusing on the choke points in our patching cycle, and it improves the way we assess the risk."

Cons

"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."

"As the account is growing, some of the dashboards are slowing down, so optimizing that could be one area for improvement."

"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."

"To improve Seemplicity, I would suggest having more knowledge base and more threat intel."

"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."

"Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time."

More Seemplicity cons

"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address. Sometimes they behave abruptly, requiring me to rework reinstalling the sensors on the endpoints."

"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."

"The license needs to be reviewed."

"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."

"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."

"There are many interesting things about XM Cyber, but the part that can be improved is the mobile exposure and the IBM i specific equipment."

"We have not saved any time or effort, but we can prove that the effort involved around vulnerability management has been better spent to greater effect, and we've been able to demonstrate that vulnerabilities that do represent a high risk have been remediated more rapidly and more effectively."

"XM Cyber could identify all areas of vulnerability. They could expand the identification span for different areas."

"We have high expectations for the next generation, such as a chat interface to ask questions."

"We'd like to see a cheaper price."

"They could improve support because when we need to create a super case and escalate to resolve with technical support, they resolve our ticket in approximately two weeks."
