Featured Reviews

AhmedKonsowa - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution with excellent features and a helpful technical support team
We use the solution for cyber fusion centers The product has a lot of strong points compared to other tools. The prices must be reduced. I have been using the solution for one year. I am using the latest version of the solution. I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten. In my company,…
Mahmoud Younes - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable installation and diverse use cases provide strong value
IBM Security QRadar has some areas for improvement. We have missed some DSM components. We need to customize logs where there is no DSM or connector for certain products. We can integrate but we have missed the DSM, which is the connector to pass logs coming from different applications. For example, with a university customer, we tried onboarding Canvas service. IBM Security QRadar does not support Canvas, so we had to create custom scripts and workarounds to pull logs from Canvas.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support team is helpful."
"The product is stable."
"The tool helps with infrastructure, application, and network monitoring."
"The rule engine is very easy to use — very flexible."
"The interface is good."
"My overall rating for this solution is nine out of ten."
"It can analyze event logs, event security, and give a good consult."
"It has a lot of good correlation rules. From a customer's point of view, it is one of the best solutions because you don't need to create correlation rules from scratch. You just review them and customize them as you want."
"Most of our clients are interested in automation. The automation part is good because they are able to detect threats and vulnerabilities in real time. It's very fast."
"The most valuable features are log monitoring, easy-to-fix issues, and problem-solving."
 

Cons

"The prices must be reduced."
"The tool doesn't integrate well with ServiceNow."
"Do your research before implementing it, because it is tough to implement."
"In a future release, the solution could provide malware analysis."
"Dashboards and reports could provide better visualization of SIEM activity."
"There are a lot of things they are working on and a lot of technologies that are not yet there. They should probably work out a better reserve with their ecosystem of business partners and create wider and more in-depth qualities, third-party tools, and add-ons. These things really give immediate business value. For instance, there are many limitations in using SAP, EBS, or Micro-Dynamics. A lot of things that are happening in those platforms could also be monitored and allowed from the cybersecurity risks perspective. IBM might be leaving this gap or empty space for business partners. Some larger organizations might already be doing this. It would be very nice if IBM can make some artificial intelligence part free of charge for all current QRadar users. This would be a big advantage as compared to other competitors. There are companies that are going in different directions. Of course, you can't do everything inside QRadar. In general, it might be very good for all players to provide more use cases, especially regarding data protection and leakage prevention. There are some who are already doing some kind of file integrity or gathering some more information from all possible technologies for building anything related to the user and data analysis, content analysis, and management regarding the data protection."
"We are considering some roadmaps to get out of IBM Security QRadar right now; that's the truth."
"There could be improvements made to the UI, the user interface. Though the newer version, 7.3.2, might already have this improvement in place."
"The solution's technical support works, but sometimes, it can take quite a long time to get a solution from technical support."
"I would like to see a better GUI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is always fine."
"There is a license to use this solution, which is paid annually. However, there are subscription options available."
"It could be cheaper, but the value itself is far more important for us than the price. Typically, our clients have yearly subscriptions."
"It is very expensive."
"The product is expensive. We have purchased the perpetual license, but we pay for the support."
"The maintenance costs are high."
"A good approach would be to begin with an On Cloud subscription, then later on do a more exact sizing."
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the tool."
