What is Balbix?

Balbix is a cybersecurity software that provides organizations with an automated approach to identify, prioritize, and manage cyber risk across their digital assets.

The software aims to streamline security operations and supports compliance initiatives by providing detailed reporting and insights into the organization’s security posture.

Balbix can automate the evaluation of cybersecurity risks and prevent any breach. This enables the organization to visualize the open security risks and know the ways to reduce them. I overall recommend them.

“Broken Promise: Balbix's Delayed API Delivery Disappoints”

2.0
Feb 6, 2025
Balbix provides sub par results, regularly incorrect data that has to be corrected, and refuses to be open to customer feedback or feature requests. They do not provide an API, limiting the functionality of their service to ONLY manual labor from our team. All of our other tools can be automated in some way, but due to their restrictions we are unable to automate any of the Balbix processes.

Performance of Balbix Across Market Features

Balbix Likes & Dislikes

Like

I personally like the way that Balbix can report the cybersecurity risks in real-time, quantify and convert them into a single reportable model. It automates the cybersecurity posture, prioritizes the vulnerabilities and risks and helps to reduce them.

Like

The UI is pleasant to look at.

Like

Data that is current and relevant. Dashboards that can be as granular as we need them to be. Overall picture of the vulnerabilities impacting our assets.

Dislike

While Balbix can quantify the risks, it still does not separate the industries in different tiers and score them like some other programs to better help organization with their decisions. I am sure Balbix can integrate these features in future.

Dislike

There is a complete lack of API support. There is no method to interact with Balbix that doesn't require direct user manual interaction. The level of manual effort is so extreme that even when a user attempts to generate a report or data export they have to wait sometimes almost an hour for the report to be generated then manually log back in to download the report. In discussions with Balbix, an API has been promised for years and never delivered, we have gone so far as to request a scheduled data dump to an S3 bucket which similarly went nowhere.

Dislike

Nothing

    Security visibility with no customization

    It is a useful tool. However, the contract negotiations were very difficult, and the feature list is lacking. We have tried to escalate and found it difficult to get the features we think should be standard.
