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.

You can use it for everything, incident response, automated responses, alerts, visibility
I would give the product an overall rating of eight out of 10. We have 10 people currently using this software. Six are on the list, plus two managers and two IR experts. It's not possible for just one person to maintain the solution, and it's not really allowed. It has to be a team effort, with two or three people. It's not about users. Helix works differently, collecting logs from 6,000 different sources integrated with the solution. The licensing is not based on users; it's based on APIs. It's more of a SIEM SGL type of platform. It collects logs from around 6,000. But have around 10 people maintaining that.

Pros

"Its flexibility is the most valuable."
"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."
"The solution is reliable in our usage."
"The integration with IBM SIM and the ability to block users during brute force attacks are particularly effective."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product is very good at incident response."
"As a whole, the product is stable...Technical support is very good."
"I advise other customers to choose Trellix Helix, as it improves operations significantly with more efficient responses required for various scenarios they face."
"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."
"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."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"As far as its core functionality goes, it’s spot-on."
"It is kind of simple and very easily deployable. You can start working with it very fast."
"We are able to block some advanced malware and other things."
"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."
 

Cons

"The implementation could be a bit simpler."
"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 could integrate better with my tools."
"The integration could be improved so that it is easy to integrate with other solutions."
"Its price needs improvement."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation on license scripts."
"The product needs a bit more development."
"Integration with some devices, including Cisco PowerPower and certain antivirus products, has limitations."
"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."
"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."
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"While we have top customer support and this solution is highly beneficial, there is room for improvement due to the fusion of McAfee and FireEye, which has caused some lapses in support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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