In general, the product's deployment phase is not that complex."

"​The ability to isolate an endpoint with only the host name and a click of a button is a major time saver.""Integration and scalability are the most valuable.""The most valuable feature is its ability to seek out abnormal activity and to create alerts.""Threat hunting is the most valuable feature of VMware Carbon Black Cloud.""Probably the most valuable feature of CB Response is its ability to isolate a host and take it off the network, so it's not spreading anything. We have two security operations centers around the globe. When an SOC analyst sees something on an endpoint, they can use Carbon Black Response to isolate that host from the customer's environment and prevent any kind of lateral spread.""The most valuable feature of VMware Carbon Black Cloud is the possibility of securing any PC worldwide.""Setting up and managing the setup for this solution is okay. It is stable, scalable, and it runs just fine. No issues with technical support.""The most valuable features are its lightweight design, ensuring minimal impact on end-users, and its real-time protection."

Cons
"There are shortcomings with IBM Resilient's technical support team that can be considered for improvement in the future.""The tool needs to improve its documentation on license scripts.""This product could be improved with better customization. This product isn't the best on the market like QRadar, but it's actually a good solution. However, some competitors' solutions contain more integration, support, automation, or flexibility.""IBM Resilient could integrate better with my tools.""The ability to analyze incidents needs to be improved in the solution.""The product needs a bit more development.""The integration could be improved so that it is easy to integrate with other solutions.""One thing to improve is how it handles data formats, which currently might require scripting for conversion to CSV before uploading."

More IBM Resilient Cons →

"The dashboard should be more user-friendly.""The solution needs to simplify the process of adding custom watchlists, as well as embrace YARA for rule creation.""It's not highly available, so you have to have a core server. If the primary server goes down, you need a new one. It's not available at the same time, however. It's not automatically swapped from one server to another.""Training and education for both partner and customer, including product marketing need to be improved.""The solution's support could be improved.""It's not simple.""The support team of Carbon Black CB Response needs improvement. At present, they need a lot of information. Then they give you an answer that they already gave you. You tell them it didn't work, and then they take a long time.""Additionally, it is complex to use, and the pricing should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is very expensive."
  • "There is a license you need to pay for in order to use this product."
  • "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."
  • "We could create unlimited users using the license we had purchased."
  • "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."
  • "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."

  • "We had no issues purchasing through our preferred reseller and were able to get a fair price even when not purchasing direct. Carbon Black Enterprise Response didn’t break the bank, though adding on the matching antivirus and anti-malware components of the Protect product was more than we could afford, even with some discounting. Cb Response is really designed to complement Carbon Black’s Defense product. While Response can be used on its own, coupling with Defense seems like the best strategy if you can afford the price tag."
  • "Purchase Professional Services up front as part of the implementation package, then renew hours annually to ensure you have adequate support for upgrades and enhancements. Overbuy by at least 10% to account for infrastructure growth."
  • "Pricing for this solution could be made lower."
  • "The solution is very inexpensive so there is great cost savings to using it."
  • "You need to pay for the licensing of the product. The pricing is costly."
  • "VMware Carbon Black Cloud is an expensive solution."
