Quotes from Members

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

"The most valuable features of IBM Watson for Cyber Security are ease of use and out-of-the-box reports and compliance policies. Additionally, if there are aspects that are missing IBM add them in the next release."
"The most valuable feature of this product is innovation, where the research and upgrading of technology never ends."
"IBM Watson for Cyber Security is very stable."
"It is kind of simple and very easily deployable. You can start working with it very fast."
"We have started working with various customers, one of whom is particularly concerned about adjacency. We have identified several use cases where automation is possible."
"The product offers very strong automation. Our cyber security analysts don't have to correlate the information to detect problems. They only need to analyze problems that have been identified by the platform."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"I like that it's easy. It's got the protection set up, and we can see whatever is required. We write our own rules and the rules that we can input. I think it is good."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"The integration is very useful and very easy. You can have an API connection with any cloud and I'll be able to do both ways of communication with the help of APA."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
 

Cons

"In the future, I would like to see threat intelligence included."
"The dashboard could improve in IBM Watson for Cyber Security."
"They need to continue to build the AI capabilities."
"This is an expensive product, so making it more cost-effective would be an improvement."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
"Trellix needs to address the price for the product to be more appealing to customers."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
"We often rely on Martins to create logs and provide professional threat services rather than basic support."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"The graphical user interface could be improved. It's not easy to handle and it's not easy for a customer or end-user to learn how to manage the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution should be lower, although I understand why IBM charges a premium price."
"IBM Watson for Cyber Security is very simple to license and is priced well."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"The price could be better. But I think it's rightly placed when we buy everything in one shot, and we get some discount for that. That's how we basically plan our deployment, and it's holistic. We pay for the license yearly."
