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.

Improves the threat intelligence gathering process, but it is not user-friendly
The tool is not user-friendly. It is not beginner-friendly. It would be very difficult for a beginner to learn the tool. It will take at least two months to get familiar with it. Building the playbook is a little difficult for a beginner. The vendor must simplify the tool and make it user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its flexibility is the most valuable."
"The integration with IBM SIM and the ability to block users during brute force attacks are particularly effective."
"IBM Resilient is scalable."
"The UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is very good."
"The most valuable features of IBM Resilient are its flexibility and customization options for incident response."
"It's really simple and has a flexible interface."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The solution is reliable in our usage."
"The reporting services are great. With reporting services, if you have customers that just visit a URL you can see the result - including why it's blocked and how and how the URL was first recognized as malicious."
"Integrating the solution with our existing security tools and workflows was easy."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex."
"What could make IBM Resilient better is if IBM increased the number of built-in integrations with different products from other vendors or third-party products."
"IBM Resilient is quite complex, including its configuration."
"This product could be improved with better customization. This product isn't the best on the market like QRadar, but it's actually a good solution. However, some competitors' solutions contain more integration, support, automation, or flexibility."
"The implementation could be a bit simpler."
"The integration could be improved so that it is easy to integrate with other solutions."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation on license scripts."
"The product needs a bit more development."
"The tool is not user-friendly."
"The solution should be simpler for the end-user in terms of reporting and navigating the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive."
"The cost of the product is quite high."
"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."
"Pricing for the solution is good, in my opinion."
"We could create unlimited users using the license we had purchased."
"I feel it is an expensive product when my company pays annually for renewal, support, and follow-up."
"There are no costs except for the support services that our company pays in addition to the licensing charges attached to the solution."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a three out of ten. The tool’s pricing is on a yearly basis."
