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.

"As far as its core functionality goes, it’s spot-on."
"In general, I can say that Trellix Helix Connect impacted my organization positively."
"The pre-built rules and analytics save us a lot of time and have positively impacted my team's workflow because whenever we migrate to a new tool, we basically have to sit for months to form the rules and alerts."
"We estimate that security investigation and incident response activities are approximately 40 to 45% faster compared to before implementing Trellix Helix Connect."
"Trellix Helix Connect has positively impacted my organization as it is the most important tool to provide MDR service to our clients, which has resulted in specific outcomes and improvements."
 

Cons

"There are shortcomings with IBM Resilient's technical support team that can be considered for improvement in the future."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation on license scripts."
"Right now, sometimes it can take up to two to three months to resolve an issue, which is far too long."
"Integration with some devices, including Cisco PowerPower and certain antivirus products, has limitations."
"It is not very straightforward to set up custom integrations, especially with services like Azure. You need an additional server for integration."
"The solution is limited, but it needs lots of development, especially when we talk about making actions with other security solutions."
"The initial setup is not straightforward or simple. It's quite complex."
"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."
"There are some issues such as high CPU utilization that we have experienced in the past whenever we were using Trellix Endpoint Security in the cloud system, which prevented anyone from working properly."
"The support would rate a three out of ten. It can take one to four weeks to connect with someone who truly understands Helix and can provide solutions."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"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."
"Trellix needs to address the price for the product to be more appealing to customers."
"I think the usability of hyperautomation is something to improve in the solution because it is expensive regarding the needed improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for the solution is good, in my opinion."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a three out of ten. The tool’s pricing is on a yearly basis."
"There are no costs except for the support services that our company pays in addition to the licensing charges attached to the solution."
"There is a license you need to pay for in order to use this product."
"I feel it is an expensive product when my company pays annually for renewal, support, and follow-up."
"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."
"It is very expensive."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"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."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
