The simplest non-cyclic finite group is the Klein four-group $V = C_2 \times C_2$.

So,we can just take $\mathbb Z \times V$.

More generally, take any nontrivial finite abelian group $G$ and take $\mathbb Z \times G \times G$.

Just take your favourite non-cyclic finite abelian group, and take the direct product with the group of integers.
