Choose Immersive if
- You want one enterprise platform for technical training, ranges and crisis simulation, and can staff its rollout.
- Hands-on technical skills for analysts are the main gap.
MetisGrid vs Immersive
A whole training suite, or the exercise done thoroughly.
Immersive sells one platform covering hands-on labs, a live-fire range and crisis simulations with dynamic injects and AI actors, licensed in user bands and exercising credits. MetisForge does one job: the cyber exercise, from scenario to a report whose findings you can trace and follow through.
Side by side
MetisForge and Immersive, topic by topic.
MetisForge is the cyber exercise application in the MetisGrid platform. Immersive statements reviewed September 2026.
| Topic | MetisForge | Immersive |
|---|---|---|
| How an exercise runsWhere the exercise happens | In the browser: the facilitator runs a console and each analyst answers in their own workspace, with timers and team chat. Use it alongside your own call or room. | Dynamic social, chat and video feeds create a live crisis experience for the workforce, leaders and cross-functional teams. |
| ScenarioHow the scenario is built | AI drafts the scenario from your industry, threat, difficulty and objectives, grounded in your own documents and current threat intelligence. You review and edit every inject, question and rubric before it runs. | An AI programme builder creates simulations around your systems, playbooks, risks and threats. |
| AdaptationHow the story changes during play | Decision points branch the exercise on the team's choice. During the exercise the facilitator can add an inject or a decision point drafted from the answers so far, and review it before analysts see it. | Dynamic injects, AI actors and live consequences. |
| EvidenceWhat is kept | Answers, scores, facilitator notes, decisions, the event timeline and team chat, kept as one exercise record. | Measures decision-making, communication, coordination and performance; an inspectable answer-to-finding chain is not shown on its tabletop page. |
| ReportWhat you receive and what follows | A complete after-action report: document control, method, question-level scores, findings that cite the inject and answer behind them, corrective actions with owners and due dates, training, SME validation and re-test status. | Enterprise reporting on readiness, weaknesses, playbook adherence and framework alignment across the platform. |
| FrameworksFramework mapping | MITRE ATT&CK techniques on every inject and coverage by tactic in the report. Exercise content lines up with NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, CIS 17.7, PCI DSS 12.10.2 and DORA testing requirements; no certification is claimed. | Reporting is described as proving alignment against key frameworks; MITRE ATT&CK is not specified on that page. |
| BuyingPublished plans or prices | Plans are published (Team, Professional, Enterprise, per facilitator seat); prices are quoted while list prices are set during the pilot programme. | Quote-based Core or Advanced tiers, user bands and annual exercising credits that do not roll over. Vendr reports a median annual contract of $44,250. |
Credit where it is due
Where Immersive is strong.
- Breadth: labs, a live-fire range on your own tools and crisis simulation on one platform.
- High-production simulations with media feeds and AI actors players can question.
- One vendor for technical skills and executive crisis exercising.
Which fits
When to choose which.
Choose MetisForge if
- You want the tabletop exercise done completely without buying a training catalogue or range.
- Every finding should trace to a participant's answer and a facilitator's score.
- You need corrective actions, training, validation and re-test carried in the same report.
