Suitable for different industries and ensures effective incident response
IBM Resilient is great in many aspects like its wide range of integrations and customizable playbooks. However, one thing to improve is how it handles data formats, which currently might require scripting for conversion to CSV before uploading. Despite this, it stands out for incident response, case management, task organization, and team collaboration, making it a strong choice for organizations compared to competitors like Demisto Palo Alto. When it comes to additional features, I think IBM Resilient is on the right track with its AI capabilities, like linking related incidents and providing recommended actions. It would be nice to see more enhancements in this area, but overall, it looks good.

Centralized threat triage has improved endpoint control but still needs better cloud insights
Trellix Helix Connect can definitely be improved, especially regarding cloud and SaaS telemetry gaps. It could enhance its native cloud and SaaS telemetry integration. Additionally, sometimes when we open the details of a file, it lacks meta fields altogether, and we must manually ask the user for the meta fields, such as when the file was created, last opened, last updated, and its hash value. Helix does not perform as expected in this regard. There are also many false positives flagged that should not be, and there is no on-premises option for FireEye Helix. Lastly, the GUI and dashboard feel very old-school and legacy, needing improvement, as all competitors have far superior GUIs and UI/UX interfaces. I would add that we have experienced specific problems with session timeouts where we randomly log out from the system after some time and face issues in logging back in. This required us to contact customer service frequently, which is also not very reliable or prompt.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is very good at incident response."
"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."
"This is a good solution that we recommend for customers."
"The solution is reliable in our usage."
"The UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is very good."
"IBM Resilient is scalable."
"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."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable."
"The features that I find most valuable in Trellix Helix Connect are the incident response capabilities, which include EDR and XDR, along with the SoC capabilities added in the new advanced Trellix AI intelligence."
"Trellix Helix Connect is the overall complete cybersecurity solution, covering all aspects in one package, which is why I prefer it for cybersecurity."
"The best feature of Trellix Helix Connect is its quick implementation."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"The solution is very high-quality and offers a very small number of false positives, so we don't have to get distracted by checking up on false data and making sure nothing is wrong."
"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."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"Integration with some devices, including Cisco PowerPower and certain antivirus products, has limitations."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation on license scripts."
"The initial setup is complex."
"There are shortcomings with IBM Resilient's technical support team that can be considered for improvement in the future."
"The ability to analyze incidents needs to be improved in the solution."
"The initial setup is not straightforward or simple. It's quite complex."
"The solution is limited, but it needs lots of development, especially when we talk about making actions with other security solutions."
"Its price and technical support need improvement."
"Sometimes the rules are disabled by FireEye, and we basically get it after the patch. I think there needs to be a better way of creating the application rules. I would like to see better pricing for our licensing."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"We often rely on Martins to create logs and provide professional threat services rather than basic support."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"Regarding areas for improvement with Trellix Helix, I believe that if the integration with AWS and GCP environments could be improved, that would be beneficial."
"My advice to others considering Trellix Helix Connect is to proceed only if you are getting competitive pricing; otherwise, it is nothing special and simply offers what many other connectors, such as CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, and Defender, already offer."
"The weak point of Trellix Helix Connect is the data storage capacity; more storage must be purchased as the data grows, which is a disadvantage because the cost increases when more space is needed on the cloud."
 

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."
"There is a license you need to pay for in order to use this product."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a three out of ten. The tool’s pricing is on a yearly basis."
"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."
"I feel it is an expensive product when my company pays annually for renewal, support, and follow-up."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
"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."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
