How do their strengths and limits compare?
Strengths
- A cloud cyber range with 100+ team exercises and 2,800+ solo labs on one platform.
- Exercises use tools from CrowdStrike, Splunk, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet and Microsoft.
- Four certificate programmes accredited by ANAB in July 2026, each ending in a hands-on capstone.
Limits
- Crisis Sim 360 is sold only as an add-on to a Cyberbit Readiness plan, so the executive exercise comes with a range purchase.
- No published price, no free tier, and nothing aimed at the wider workforce.
Strengths
- Short formats: 3–5 minute individual microsimulations and 30–45 minute team exercises.
- The longest framework list here for evidence, including DORA, ISO 22301, APRA CPS 230, NIST CSF and FFIEC.
- Board-ready dashboards and benchmarking by department, region and role.
Limits
- No technical hands-on work: no labs and no range.
- No published price and no free tier.
Which one fits which team?
Look at Cyberbit if your SOC needs team exercises on a live-fire range, or if you want accredited certificates for analysts' hands-on work. Look at iluminr if you report exercise evidence to a board or a financial regulator, or if you want frequent short exercises rather than one long one.
