Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its flexibility is the most valuable.""The solution is reliable in our usage.""It's really simple and has a flexible interface.""The solution is very easy to use.""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.""The most valuable features of IBM Resilient are its flexibility and customization options for incident response.""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."

"We are able to remotely isolate exploited endpoints in seconds and perform a live deep dive of any endpoint into its running processes (as necessary) without the need for extra scripts.​""For setup, the server can be given to you as a VM image and with minimal configuration needed.""We also took full advantage of its incident response reporting capabilities to act as a “black box” for our infrastructure around strings of suspicious activity. The reporting and incident response capabilities were incredibly helpful during active security concerns.""​The ability to isolate an endpoint with only the host name and a click of a button is a major time saver.""The enhanced logging and data analysis of the incident response and investigation components allowed us to quickly identify and resolve security issues before they could spread.""The ability to quickly isolate a system from the network, while still being able to perform some forensics and mitigation work remotely, was of great value to us since we had many mobile and distributed systems.""The detection response and quarantining are very good features.""They're highly stable in comparison with other solutions I have."

Cons
"One thing to improve is how it handles data formats, which currently might require scripting for conversion to CSV before uploading.""It is not very straightforward to set up custom integrations, especially with services like Azure. You need an additional server for integration.""The response time of the support is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The initial setup is complex.""The ability to analyze incidents needs to be improved in the solution.""There are shortcomings with IBM Resilient's technical support team that can be considered for improvement in the future.""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.""The tool needs to improve its documentation on license scripts."

More IBM Resilient Cons →

"Additionally, it is complex to use, and the pricing should be improved.""The solution's support could be improved.""The product detects too many false positives initially and it could integrate better with other security solutions.""They have different products, but if we wanted to take their protection and their EPR, then we would need to have two agents""One area for improvement is the maturity of its vulnerability features.""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.""The cloud console has a lot of bugs and issues in the analysis part.""It's not simple."

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."
