What do you like best about Cyvatar.ai?

I find the ease of reaching the support team and regular meetings a big plus; the meetings ensure we do not miss out on anything Cyvatar and also ensure we have some foresight on solutions we may need in the future and can plan for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyvatar.ai?

As with any early-stage company, one must be flexible and adaptable. While I do not have any negatives to state, I can share that Cyvatar has only pierced the surface of what they will likely achieve over the next years with advanced cyber solutions-to-come as they also enhance their customer dashboard experience.

What do you like best about Cyvatar.ai?

Two things stand out in my experience with Cyvatar. First of all, my team has been superb. Really great experience. Our incredible rep Allyson has saved me more than once in tough situations, bringing resources to bear and managing incidents to successful conclusion. Kendrick and Daniel, on the tech side, have given us incredible value and dedication.

The second thing is the pricing model. PEPM pricing just makes sense for small comapnies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyvatar.ai?

The trade-off of a managed solution is that you can't configure and customize it yourself. For small start-ups, however, this can actually be a plus -- Cyvatar provides a lot of value while shielding you from the complexity. When you grow large enough to need advanced customizations, you might have outgrown them as a vendor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cyvatar.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

For small comapnies, buying, configuring and deploying a large number of advanced cybersecurity produts can be prohibitively costly and time consuming -- that is, if you even have the exeprtise to do so in-house. Cyvatar admirably fills that gap for small start-ups, helping my org punch WAY above our weight with our cybersecurity program. This has made us safer and more trustworthy to our customers, and it has also helped a great deal with our compliance efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Cyvatar.ai?

Cyvatar.AI's security services are tailored to meet the unique needs of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and startup companies. Unlike larger enterprises, SMBs and startups often have limited resources and IT expertise, which can make them more vulnerable to cyber threats. Cyvatar’s approach allows companies with limited resources to gain cyber security capabilities quickly, effectively, and scaled to their business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyvatar.ai?

Nothing negative to report here. Cyvatar.ai listens to its customers and crafts security solutions aligned with customer needs and critical risks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cyvatar.ai:

Cyvatar.ai is an excellent choice for SMB and startup businesses looking to enhance their cybersecurity posture. With a focus on simplicity, affordability, and flexibility, Cyvatar.ai offers a range of security solutions that are specifically designed to meet the unique needs and challenges of smaller organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cyvatar.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

MOD Pizza engaged with Cyvatar.ai for Threat and Vulnerability Management (TVM) services. Cyvatar provided a very effective solution that consisted of software tooling (Automox) and a dedicated support engineer to ensure solution success. The Cyvatar team was highly engaged throughout the engagement, ensuring success of the solution and the services being provided. Implementation of the solution through Cyvatar allowed MOD Pizza to come up-to-speed in TVM much more quickly than would have been possible using our own resources.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Cyvatar.ai?

Hands-on and professional staff, the onboarding process is comprehensive and covers all the angles, automated patch/update management, single-pane-of-glass systems management and reporting, prompt and excellent service. I'd like to keep going, but I think I've gushed enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyvatar.ai?

Dashboard UI is somewhat limited and not the most intuitive for certain things. Example - vulnerability scan and penetration test results are not displayed directly in the UI, but require a Cydekick to upload said results for retrieval. It's more of a nit-pick than anything since engineers at our org tend to be more oriented toward self-serve solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cyvatar.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

My org is a seed-round SaaS startup with less than 20 employees. When we first discovered Cyvatar, our perceived need was simply a penetration test to satisfy our SOC2 Type 2 audit, a feature included in Cyvatar's Threat and Vulnerability Management product. Once we began onboarding TVM, it became apparent that the value proposition was much more significant than anticipated. Given such a small population and the raw cost of establishing an enterprise IT program, we coasted along as most startups do - with BYOD-style workstations/laptops managed individually by our senior-heavy engineering staff. Most of us were responsible-enough adults to keep our machines patched and not do anything too stupid. However, it was still a significant risk that we were not taking seriously and would have cost us dearly on our compliance audit. Cyvatar saved us from ourselves at a startup-friendly price point. Instead of adding headcount to handle general systems administration tasks, we now have Cyvatar's team running point on routine patching, vulnerability scanning, and endpoint policy management for a fraction of the cost of a single systems administrator. In over a decade of professional systems and infrastructure experience, Cyvatar's onboarding process has been the most comprehensive, hands-on, white-glove service I've been privy to. I'm just one engineer who isn't spending much money with them, but they still rolled out the red carpet. Service has been impeccable - anything I needed was handled promptly and professionally, and they stayed on top of issues when my attention was elsewhere. We got that penetration test on time and as promised, but by then, the value of the rest of the TVM product and, to a greater extent, the team's service had nearly rendered it an afterthought. I've bought a lot of SaaS subscriptions over the years. Without a doubt, Cyvatar TVM is one of the most pleasantly surprising purchases I never knew I needed, but the most refreshing and valuable part of the whole deal has been working with their staff. Seriously, Allyson, Daniel, Ryan, and everyone else who has been on every single call getting us sorted, thank you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alise Barron of Cyvatar.ai

Dan, thank you so much for your thorough review. Love hearing how "surprisingly pleasant" your experience has been and we are honored to be your partner in Cybersecurity! Wishing you continued success and security!

What do you like best about Cyvatar.ai?

Cyvatar follows a collaborative approach where you are fully involved in the setup process and are given admin access to monitor and maintain the systems, meaning that in the event of an employee having an issue or requiring support I have been able to assist them, only needing to escalate to the Cyvatar support team if the complexity was above my level of understanding. Being involved in the process ensures that I understand what has been implemented and why, so I have confidence in the systems in place and that we are receiving value for money.

Other vendors I have worked with have not provided the level of collaboration and access, making supporting internal stakeholders extremely difficult.

Overall the team have been fantastic and very easy to work with, as well as the technical team who procure and implement the security solutions you are assigned a dedicated Member Experience Manager who project manages the implementation and is a great resource to clarify any questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyvatar.ai?

The approach that we have followed in our rollout has been weekly calls with most of the implementation being carried out on those calls, this isn't a problem for our business, but for a company looking to complete a rapid implementation, the progress may not be as quick as they would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cyvatar.ai:

Validate what you need and why during the sales cycle, our business had been provided with a long list of requirements from another vendor which didn't all turn out to be required.

You will be hands-on and require admin access to internal systems e.g. Google Workspace, Office 365, Slack, Salesforce etc... in order to implement the program

Ask the vendors you are considering if you will have admin access to the systems being implemented and be wary of those who will not allow you to have access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cyvatar.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an SMB that provides services and software to companies of all sizes, we needed to implement a robust security program compliant with our customers security requirements and our cyber security insurance policy. We are not big enough to have dedicated IT or Security staff, so required a partner we could work with to implement the requirements without the investment of recruiting dedicated staff.

What do you like best about Cyvatar.ai?

The team members we've worked with have been stellar! For an non-IT person, I have never felt dumb asking a clarifying question. They do an amazing job of explaining the value of various security measures and are committed to ensuring the remediations are successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyvatar.ai?

I don't have any negative feedback here, the team has been solid to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cyvatar.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cyvatar is providing us low maintenance cybersecurity. Giving us and our client companies peace of mind! As a small team, with no dedicated IT-support in-house it was critical for us to find a team that could monitor our security. We're a hybrid team working on confident client content, and we value keeping our client's content that way! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alise Barron of Cyvatar.ai

Sarah, thank you very much for taking time to share your Cyvatar experience on G2! Your description is exactly our mission, to make security effortless for businesses that don't have the expertise and/or inhouse technical staff. We especially love hearing how the Cyvatar team has delivered security and peace of mind, allowing your business and client's businesses to thrive. We're delighted to be a partner in your cyber security journey!

What do you like best about Cyvatar.ai?

The team is willing to accept feedback and is interested in improving. An introduction to the other tools that we use, such as Automox and Tenable, is helpful. And when more detailed manual intervention is required, they have the experience to guide or address directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyvatar.ai?

The offering is not fully baked and has shifted a lot. Initially, we primarily wanted an outsourced fractional Chief Security Officer, and this is no longer an offering. Also, the software platform to aggregate information from the various services is still not fully functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cyvatar.ai:

If you have technical resources that can spare 1-2 hrs per week, it may be more cost-effective to insource this and leverage the same 3rd party security tools directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cyvatar.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

As of today, Cyvatar is monitoring if patches are being applied and if there are any high-priority vulnerabilities that need to be manually addressed. Knowing now that it's just rolling out Automox an Tenable for our devices and monitoring, it's likely something we could do with existing resources. However, I realize that not everyone has technical resources that can be applied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aceyus needed a network security program managed by qualified technicians. Cyvatar provides the essential services needed for Aceyus at a cost that is much less than hiring a CISO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
