ReliaQuest GreyMatter has been very helpful and instrumental in my organization. It has improved our security operations by reducing manual investigations, speeding up incident response, and providing better visibility across security tools. It has also helped us prioritize critical alerts, automate repetitive tasks, and respond to potential threats more efficiently. This has led to improved productivity in my organization and allowed our analysts to focus on higher priority security issues.
We have seen improvement in incident response efficiency with faster alert triage and fewer manual investigations due to automation.
What is most valuable?
ReliaQuest GreyMatter offers automated incident response, threat detection and investigation, integration with security tools, threat hunting, and AI-powered automation as some of its best features.
Automated incident response stands out for me because it helps us execute response playbooks to contain threats quickly. AI-powered automation makes my job easier as it helps reduce repetitive manual tasks and speed up investigations. My favorite feature is the automated incident response because it helps me save time, reduce manual effort, and enables my team members and me to respond to security threats more efficiently.

ReliaQuest GreyMatter integrates very seamlessly with other AWS services I use, and I value the integrations because they help improve threat visibility.
What needs improvement?
ReliaQuest GreyMatter could be improved by adding more integrations with third-party security tools, providing more customizable dashboards and reports, and simplifying configuration.
I would like to see broader integrations with cloud security tools, identity management platforms, and ticketing systems such as Jira and ServiceNow. Configuration could be more straightforward, especially when setting up automated workflows.
Generally, it provides reliable security insights and helps our analysts identify and investigate threats efficiently. However, the AI-generated findings can sometimes require manual verification to reduce false positives and ensure accuracy.
