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.

"The solution is very easy to use."

More IBM Resilient pros

"The fact that it's a security orchestration, automated response solution with a vast level of insights and the ability to integrate with a number of other security tools."

"Based on my user experience, I would recommend InsightConnect for its user-friendly interface and excellent documentation."

"InsightIDR's Attacker Behavioral Analytics (ABA) and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) features have been very useful in maintaining our security posture."

Cons

"Its price needs improvement."

"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."

"The product needs a bit more development."

"Integration with some devices, including Cisco PowerPower and certain antivirus products, has limitations."

"The initial setup is complex."

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

"The implementation could be a bit simpler."

More IBM Resilient cons

"The GUI needs improvement, as creating workflows can be cumbersome."

"The GUI needs improvement, as creating workflows can be cumbersome. More updated plugins are needed to leverage existing functionalities, such as APIs for functions like blocking malicious IPs in FortiGate."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We could create unlimited users using the license we had purchased."

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

"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."

"It is very expensive."

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

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

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