Risk, incident and investigations platform for corporate security and operational risk teams, owned by Kroll

The short version
- Only Nx Cloud has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Nx Cloud requires Nx workspace setup; integration limited to Nx build system; Resolver kroll ownership since 2022 means the product is sold alongside risk consulting services, so buyers who want software with no services attach should expect that conversation and should price the licence separately in negotiation.
- They diverge on capability: Nx Cloud covers Nx Replay, Resolver covers Incident management.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Nx Cloud
- Requires Nx workspace setup; integration limited to Nx build system
- Free tier restricted to 5 contributors; larger teams require paid plans
- Credits system adds complexity to cost prediction vs flat-rate competitors
- Self-hosted Enterprise deployment requires significant operational overhead
Resolver
- Kroll ownership since 2022 means the product is sold alongside risk consulting services, so buyers who want software with no services attach should expect that conversation and should price the licence separately in negotiation.
- Configuration flexibility comes at the cost of implementation time, with deployments commonly running several months and typically requiring vendor or partner services, so the first-year cost is well above the annual licence.
- Module-based pricing means the platform gets expensive quickly once you add audit, compliance and continuity to a security-led purchase, and modules bought later rarely carry the discount of the original deal.
- The IT and cyber compliance side is thinner than dedicated tools, so organisations chasing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence automation will find it does not replace a Drata or Vanta.
- Reporting is capable but the drag and drop builder has a real learning curve, and organisations that do not train an internal administrator end up raising support tickets for changes that should be self-service.
