Our usage of IBM Resilient was primarily limited to communication and incident resolution. Although there was some automation implemented, we experienced delays from the technical side. Therefore, we only utilized it for incident logging, team communication, and documentation purposes. In case of any future incidents, we could easily refer back to the records.
The solution is reliable in our usage.
Integrating IBM Resilient with other applications can be very difficult and technically challenging. Often, they use the excuse that you are using the latest version of an application, such as an endpoint security system, and they don't have an API or support for it at the moment. There is no automation in the SOAR solution.
It's worth noting that many third-party add-on applications needed to be purchased separately to integrate with IBM Resilient. While there were built-in applications available for incident remediation, the selection was limited. Additionally, integrating third-party applications was often a difficult and time-consuming process due to the technical complexity involved.
I have been using IBM Resilient for approximately three years.
IBM Resilient was stable in terms of load and user management. We had unlimited licenses for creating users across different teams, allowing us to efficiently manage and address incidents. This made it easy for us to raise and respond to incidents without any limitations.
The solution is scalable, we had the ability to add unlimited users.
IBM Resilient is not difficult to install as it is based on a simple image that can be installed with just a few clicks for license setup. If you are deploying it on-premises, you just need a VM for deployment. Once it is set up, you can access the web interface from your system and proceed with license deployment and configuration. However, customizing it to meet your specific needs can be time-consuming as it is a mature product that requires careful consideration.
We could create unlimited users using the license we had purchased.
As most solutions nowadays come with SOAR capabilities, I wouldn't recommend IBM Resilient. For example, when we were using IBM QRadar, it didn't have incident management features, so we had to integrate it with IBM SOAR to receive that functionality. It seemed as if IBM was trying to force customers to purchase another SIEM from them if they wanted to use SOAR. It would make more sense to have the SOAR and SIEM combined into a single solution like LogRhythm, Microsoft Sentinel, or Splunk.
I rate IBM Resilient a six out of ten.
