Expander is the platform your program needs to provide an overall view of external health **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Commercial Real Estate | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2021 **What do you like best about Expanse?** The best part about Expanse Expander is the product team. They do a great job of listening to us and incorporating what our desires are into the product. Additionally, the changes are implemented quickly. Expanse also assists in providing us a substantial view into our external security footprint. **What do you dislike about Expanse?** The one thing that is disappointing about Expanse is that they have recently changed some of their product views and these were the initial product views we have been used to since we began using the product. **Recommendations to others considering Expanse:** Be prepared to see data about your external security that you have not seen in the past. The data is thorough and you'll determine your weaknesses quickly and understand where to focus your efforts on enhancing your overall security footprint. **What problems is Expanse solving and how is that benefiting you?** Expanse provides us a view into our external security footprint that we did not have previously. They are able to find items on the Internet stood up by shadow IT, or other parts of the company that were not approved. This allows us to track these down and have them removed to keep our external security health in a good state. ### 2. Saved me a lot of time, made stakeholders happy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel B. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2020 **What do you like best about Expanse?** Well documented API in Swagger, good pagination features, good customer support and performance. The API is more featured than the web interface, but the web interface serves as a good place to explore the data and design analysis scripts. **What do you dislike about Expanse?** At the time of writing this, Expanse is deprecating a few of their endpoints. A few calls have had to be tweaked, but the documentation has made that easy enough, and the deprecated endpoints are still functional. Just a part of using any API. **What problems is Expanse solving and how is that benefiting you?** Exploring our attack surface and engaging with other groups in Cisco ### 3. Finally, I can answer questions about our risk and expsoure **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospitality | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2020 **What do you like best about Expanse?** I love the feeling and confidence I get when I answer questions relating to our digital risk and exposure. Thanks to Expander's ability, I am able to produce a comprehensive list of assets with mitigation plan that potentially would have gone undetected and unmitigated. Proven RIO from the start. **What do you dislike about Expanse?** Some features in the portal such as reporting are still basic and need a few upgrades to be more useful. **Recommendations to others considering Expanse:** I would recommend this product for at least a POC so you can compare what you think you know about your assets against their findings. **What problems is Expanse solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visibility and discovery of our known and unknown external assets to include our cloud infrastructure. The benefits included an accurate list and description of assets with mitigation strategy. ### 4. Great Partners Great Product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2020 **What do you like best about Expanse?** A very agile company with amazing customer service. They are very attentive to their customers needs and have turned around a feature request very quickly to meet the needs of our business. **What do you dislike about Expanse?** You are limited to by the way people hold on to web certs. You may think you see a vulnerable site and then realize it is no longer being used it is the cert that is still out in the world. **What problems is Expanse solving and how is that benefiting you?** When we acquire a new company we like to know the external foot print and then also are there vulnerabilities. Can we try and foresee the onboarding. - [View Expanse pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/qadium-expanse/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-31+17%3A03%3A07+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=c62f5c54-331a-4c5e-919e-d51d6e9a946a&secure%5Btoken%5D=1272ac4ec50829d1864c9dc26d9d7ab9843366a5c4456fbd07e14c7c75bc5226&format=llm_user) ## Expanse Features **Security** - Compliance Monitoring - Anomoly Detection - Data Loss Prevention - Cloud Gap Analytics **Connected Device Security** - Vulnerability Assessment - Identity Lifecycle - Threat Protection - Behavior Analysis - Incident Response - IoT Network Security - OTA Updates - Alerts & Notifications **Asset Management** - Asset Discovery - Shadow IT Detection - Change Management **Cloud Visibility** - Data Discovery - Cloud Registry - Cloud Gap Analytics **Compliance** - Governance - Data Governance - Sensitive Data Compliance **Platform** - Dashboard - Hardware - Performance - Reporting **Monitoring** - Gap Analysis - Vulnerability Intelligence - Compliance Monitoring - Continuous Monitoring **Security** - Data Security - Data loss Prevention - Security Auditing **Administration** - Policy Enforcement - Auditing - Workflow Management **Risk Management** - Risk-Prioritization - Reconnaissance - At-Risk Analysis - Threat Intelligence **Identity** - SSO - Governance - User Analytics **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization ## Top Expanse Alternatives - [Scrut Automation](https://www.g2.com/products/scrut-automation/reviews) - 4.9/5.0 (1,305 reviews) - [Wiz](https://www.g2.com/products/wiz-wiz/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (789 reviews) - [Vanta](https://www.g2.com/products/vanta/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (2,422 reviews)
