Usman Bhatti - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The solution is very easy to use."
"The initial setup of IBM Resilient is not that complex since my company already has a support license that we use internally. In general, the product's deployment phase is not that complex."
"It's really simple and has a flexible interface."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution is reliable in our usage."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable."
"The most valuable features of IBM Resilient are its flexibility and customization options for incident response."
"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 integration could be improved so that it is easy to integrate with other solutions."
"The product needs a bit more development."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation on license scripts."
"There are shortcomings with IBM Resilient's technical support team that can be considered for improvement in the future."
"Its price needs improvement."
"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."
"The response time of the support is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Integration with some devices, including Cisco PowerPower and certain antivirus products, has limitations."
"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

"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."
"We could create unlimited users using the license we had purchased."
"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."
"The cost of the product is quite high."
"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."
