  • Filled target: the platform sells this training type on the pages we read
  • Hatched target: sold with a condition (an add-on, an adjacent product, or part of the type)
  • Dashed target: not in our sources (it may exist; we did not find it)

How do their strengths and limits compare?

iluminr

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.

Immersive Labs

Strengths

  • The broadest set here: labs, cyber drills, a live-fire range and crisis simulation in one platform.
  • Dynamic Threat Range runs live-fire attacks on the customer's own stack, with tools such as Sentinel, Elastic, Splunk and CrowdStrike.
  • Evidence for boards and regulators: a Resilience Score, benchmarks and references to frameworks such as NIS2 and DORA.

Limits

  • No published pricing and no free tier on the pages we read.
  • Breadth needs program ownership: someone has to decide which of labs, drills, range and crisis simulation each team gets.

Which one fits which team?

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. Look at Immersive if you want one platform for analysts, responders and executives, or if you need live-fire exercises on the tools you already run.
