Simple deployment, scalable, but lacking third-party solution compatibility

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This is a good solution that we recommend for customers."

"IBM Resilient is scalable."

"The solution is simple to use and to integrate with IBM QRadar."

"The solution is easy to use."

"It's really simple and has a flexible interface."

"What I like most about IBM Resilient is that it has a complete stack, which means you don't need to use different OEM products because you have all you need under the IBM Resilient umbrella. You don't need to worry much about integrations and components because you're working with tested and proven architecture."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The product is very good at incident response."

More IBM Resilient pros

"It has reduced our manual efforts to remove emails from each user's inbox, and in this case we do not have to ask our IT department or users to do so."

"If something's pulled and then it's later declared a false positive, it will automatically restore. They also take automatic feeds from their advanced threat detection modules."

"Support is very responsive."

"The best part of Proofpoint Threat Response is the Auto-Pull feature. Being able to pull an email back from a user's mailbox is very useful, yet I have noticed that not a lot of organizations use this kind of feature."

"The platform's most valuable include the ability to check emails and block potential spam."

Cons

"IBM Resilient is quite complex, including its configuration."

"There are shortcomings with IBM Resilient's technical support team that can be considered for improvement in the future."

"Its price needs improvement."

"The integration could be improved so that it is easy to integrate with other solutions."

"The product must provide more integration with other tools."

"The initial setup is complex."

"It is not very straightforward to set up custom integrations, especially with services like Azure. You need an additional server for integration."

"One thing to improve is how it handles data formats, which currently might require scripting for conversion to CSV before uploading."

More IBM Resilient cons

"The interface within Threat Response could be made simpler."

"Has some quirks."

"If the reporting gets improved then it would be better, but the product is running amazing as it is."

"The on-premise version doesn't scale well for large companies."

"The platform's technical support services and pricing need improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no costs except for the support services that our company pays in addition to the licensing charges attached to the solution."

"It is very expensive."

"Pricing for the solution is good, in my opinion."

"I feel it is an expensive product when my company pays annually for renewal, support, and follow-up."

"There is a license you need to pay for in order to use this product."

"The licensing cost for IBM Resilient is not too expensive, but it's not affordable, so it's moderately expensive. Regarding price, I'm rating the solution seven out of ten. The company pays for the license yearly, based on the number of users. Apart from the cost of the license you need to pay for each user, you also need to spend an initial investment for the base platform. You also have to pay for IBM Resilient support."

"The cost of the product is quite high."

"I would rate the tool’s pricing a three out of ten. The tool’s pricing is on a yearly basis."

More IBM Resilient pricing and cost advice

"It's quite affordable to have it with this much functionality and ease to administrate."

"The way most big companies work with Proofpoint is that they try to tie everything into an enterprise license. I can't comment on the actual costs, however I do know that alternative solutions such as Abnormal Security can be much more expensive than Proofpoint Threat Response."
