VERDICT

Should I use RangeForce?

Cloud-based cyber range for cybersecurity team readiness. - rangeforce.com

Depends. Buy if you lead a SOC or security team with budget for structured, repeatable threat-response drills. Skip it if you are an individual or small team — Hack The Box and TryHackMe cover you for far less.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 20+ public sources; independent review volume is thin (8 FeaturedCustomers, 1 Gartner, 0 G2).

Best for

  • SOC and blue-team training leads
  • Teams wanting repeatable threat-response drills
  • Mid-size to enterprise security orgs
  • Companies without an in-house cyber range

Not for

  • Individual learners — TryHackMe or Hack The Box is far cheaper
  • Small teams with no dedicated training budget
  • Buyers needing generic all-staff awareness videos
  • Anyone who won't purchase without public pricing

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

No public pricing — every quote requires a sales conversation.

Tiny review base (8 FeaturedCustomers, 1 Gartner, 0 G2) makes vetting hard.

Acquired by Cyberbit in Sept 2025; pricing and roadmap may shift.

Guess: enterprise seat licenses mean real per-analyst cost; budget before the demo.
