The lanes show what each platform's own pages describe, or how your answers weigh the four training types. They do not measure how well a product works.
  • 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.

Reflex Security

Strengths

  • Builds the crisis from your own environment and runs an unscripted adversary that reacts to each decision.
  • Puts technical, legal and executive teams in one exercise, with AI agents in the seats nobody fills, including the CEO's.
  • Short to run: sixty-minute sessions, an AI facilitator in Zoom, Meet or Teams, and an after-action report in which each finding points to the moment it came from.

Limits

  • Not a hands-on lab platform or a cyber range: technical players can query simulated logs in its Investigation Console, but there is no lab library and no live-fire range.
  • No published price and no free tier.
  • Not awareness training: it exercises the response team, not every employee.

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 Reflex if you want to replace the annual scripted tabletop with exercises the response team can run often, or if your gap is decisions and coordination across security, legal and leadership.

Can I compare several platforms at once?

Yes. The platform fact grid puts up to twelve side by side, and you can pick which ones.

  • iluminr profile

    An operational resilience exercising platform for boards, executives and crisis teams, from 3–5 minute microsimulations to facilitated tabletops, with evidence mapped to regulations.

  • Reflex Security profile

    A crisis simulation that replaces the scripted tabletop: it builds a live crisis from your real environment, runs an adaptive adversary and pressured stakeholders, and produces an after-action report.

  • Tabletop and crisis simulation

    The people who own decisions in an incident work through a scenario and decide what to do, from a scripted discussion to an adaptive simulation.
