Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. This is not a tool that you have to set up yourself. All you have to do is just access their web-based vulnerability database application, which is open source and available to pretty much anyone."
 

Cons

"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"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."
"A useful improvement would be to have white papers for specific vulnerabilities readily available. It seems like they are not always linked when you are looking for a vulnerability identifier in the database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cymulate's services are expensive."
"The product is affordable."
