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.

Runtime context has transformed how we prioritize exploitable cloud risks and protect workloads
I appreciate runtime context, which helps connect vulnerabilities and misconfigurations with actual workload behavior and network relationships, making it easier to prioritize remediation based on real exposure rather than simply working through a long list of security findings. The best features that stand out to me are contextual vulnerability prioritization, cloud workload visibility, and runtime security. I especially value how Upwind connects vulnerabilities with actual runtime behavior, which helps focus on exploitable risk rather than working through a long list of findings. It has helped us focus on actual exploitable risk instead of treating every vulnerability equally. By considering runtime activity, exposure, reachability, and sensitive data context, the team can prioritize remediation much faster and reduce unnecessary alert noise. I also value the runtime visibility and attack path context because it connects security findings with network behavior and actual workload. This makes investigations more actionable and helps the team move from simply detecting issues to understanding their real impact. The biggest positive impact has been the prioritization of cloud security risk and improved visibility. Instead of chasing every vulnerability, we can focus on issues that are actually exposed or active at runtime, which makes the security team more efficient and remediation more targeted.

Risk-based workflows have transformed how our teams prioritize and track critical vulnerabilities
One important area for improvement could be reporting flexibility and dashboard customization, as this would need to align with specific organizational requirements. I believe it could be better. Additionally, UI simplification and more customization around workflows and reporting would further enhance the analyst experience. Improvements in executive reporting, more customizable dashboards, and deeper workflow flexibility would enhance operational usability further. Vulcan Cyber handles scalability well in our organization. It maintains stability for visibility and remediation tracking, avoiding the need for additional storage, as it is cloud-based. It scales well in our environment, even as vulnerability data and assets grow significantly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"Seemplicity has positively impacted my organization by helping reduce the overhead for our SecOps team to manually create vulnerability tickets."
"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."
"Upwind has positively impacted my organization by reducing time to action and time to response by half."
"They are a great overall cloud security platform and they continue innovating and adding new features."
"My advice for others looking into using Upwind is that if you are seeking a strong CNAPP with an advanced runtime and strong CDR capabilities, this is the product."
"The combination of runtime visibility, security insights, and contextual risk prioritization makes it much easier to focus on the risks that actually matter."
"Now that the solution is onboarded, we are saving a lot of time. We're saving roughly four to ten hours a week."
"Vulcan Cyber has helped reduce our organization’s mean time to remediation."
"Vulcan enables us to automate tickets from multiple scanners. It has lots of analytics options that show us charts and allow us to view the statuses in different waves. The dashboard is nice because it's highly informative about the big picture."
"One of the features that I find valuable is the ability to bifurcate the report according to the many options available."
"I was part of the initial deployment. It was pretty easy. To fully deploy, it took about three or four weeks."
"Vulcan Cyber offers a single pane of glass for centralizing our security data."
"There is a lot of flexibility in exporting, making it a really good feature. The exporting flexibility based on application type is commendable and provides significant value."
"It has allowed us to bring together multiple sources of information from different signal sources into a single point."
 

Cons

"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 could use more improvement around the user interface."
"Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time."
"To improve Seemplicity, I would suggest having more knowledge base and more threat intel."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Upwind can be improved because its UI is a bit difficult to navigate."
"Their support is good, but there are some flaws as well."
"We've faced situations where we required support on a Friday, and support wasn't available."
"Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced."
"An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports."
"Mainly, what I would like from them is more maintenance of the different connectors they have in the platform."
"The performance is bad. The query and the UI are always slow, and it's quite frustrating. Vulcan is trying to solve this with a newer design. The dashboard is also crowded. It pulls in all this raw information that you need to filter. Vulcan has filtering capabilities, but they're hard to manage. The labels aren't very clear, so you need to do things by trial and error. It's not as easy as other tools we've been using."
"It was a rough year in terms of setup. I had to set it up and onboard it. It was a significant effort from my side at least."
"Improvements are needed in providing more concise details on how to apply remedies for particular vulnerabilities. I would like to have more information about the remedies for particular vulnerabilities so that we do not have to go through the CVE numbers and relevant pages to check for a particular vulnerability and its remedy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."
"Its pricing is quite fair compared to what is out there in the market, especially compared to the tool from Microsoft. It is a SaaS platform that has an annual cost, so it is something that is already used by many companies. It is quite affordable."
