Muhammad Aamir Riaz - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers open API for integrating any available tools without any recurring costs
Before committing, I recommend a Proof of Concept (POC) or demo first. This way, you can see if the product aligns with your specific use cases and security needs. Knowledge transfer is key, and D3 Security's team excels in this area. During the POC, your analysts gain valuable product knowledge, putting them ahead of the curve for deployment. In our case, the learning curve was steep initially, but by the end of the POC, my team was already building playbooks independently. D3 Security also schedules dedicated knowledge transfer sessions during the POC, making it a win-win for both parties. Since technology transfer is crucial for government entities like ours, this approach eliminates the need for additional learning after deployment, unlike with certain competitors like the Fortinet FortiSOAR case. While Fortinet FortiSOAR achieved the desired tasks, its knowledge transfer process was lacking, leaving us with a shaky foundation. D3 Security's approach solidifies the learning and empowers our team. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's valuable feature is its GUI. It has more than 450 connectors, which are excellent for connecting devices and automating integration. The solution has all the features we need. We deployed it in our environment, and it's fully integrated. Thanks to their open APIs, the seamless integration makes everything work well together."
"It is an out-of-the-box automated integration with our 20 departments. We perform L1 LiveOps automatically through the portal."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable."
"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."
"The solution is reliable in our usage."
"The most valuable thing about it is how easy it is to navigate the user interface."
"This is a good solution that we recommend for customers."
"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 product is very good at incident response."
"It's really simple and has a flexible interface."
 

Cons

"Reporting needs improvement. MTTR and MTTD metrics aren't directly available in playbooks and require manual effort to achieve."
"The reporting, especially custom reporting, needs to be improved. Additionally, it would be better if it could be hosted on Linux."
"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."
"Its price needs improvement."
"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."
"The implementation could be a bit simpler."
"The ability to analyze incidents needs to be improved in the solution."
"The product must provide more integration with other tools."
"IBM Resilient is quite complex, including its configuration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is very expensive."
"I feel it is an expensive product when my company pays annually for renewal, support, and follow-up."
"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."
"There are no costs except for the support services that our company pays in addition to the licensing charges attached to the solution."
"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."
"There is a license you need to pay for in order to use this product."
"We could create unlimited users using the license we had purchased."
