HarshBhardiya - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Have managed daily asset and alert monitoring effectively but have encountered limitations with manual processes and interface usability
It's still very manual and doesn't work on its own. It's still in an early stage and not on par where we can consider it a really successful detection system. The accuracy is not there. The UI could be better when compared to Sentinels where we can use flags and tagging. It could be much more user-friendly. IBM Security QRadar has all features and is fully competitive with other SIEM tools, but when it comes to user-friendliness, a new user takes time to get used to it. More intuitive, user-friendly interfaces and more helpful documentation would be beneficial. The query searching and data fetching could be faster. In large to very large organizations with around 5,000 or 6,000 assets or beyond, even with proper configurations and RAM and hardware backing up, the query is fairly slow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that the core functionality is not in different modules. The event correlation is quite powerful."
"think QRadar is great overall. We’ve had a positive experience with it and recommend it for deployment. However, there are areas for improvement. The technical support is good, and the documentation is valuable, but it could be enhanced, especially regarding integration with other systems. In terms of support and updates, QRadar’s capabilities are crucial for maintaining high security standards. Network and software administrators can monitor all traffic effectively, which reassures clients and drives further adoption."
"The ability to correlate large amounts of data into rules that provide real-time alerting is the most valuable feature."
"The correlation and the parsing are important features, since it is very important for a SIEM to have a good scalability and performance."
"IBM QRadar Advisor with Watson is a stable solution."
"In addition to using this solution for our security operations center, we are using it for our other customers."
"I would rate IBM Security QRadar nine out of ten."
"What I like the most about it is that you can very easily install and configure it. As compared to other SIEM solutions, for which you need to know and do a lot more to prepare your SIEM environment, QRadar is much simpler to install and configure. There are various options in the Admin console. In the Admin tab, you can design dashboards and view various graphs. It has a lot of attractive features, and you don't need to configure everything on your own."
"It's a state-of-the-art product for security information and event management (SIEM)."
 

Cons

"Incident management could be improved, along with enforcement capabilities, which DTEX does not have at the moment."
"IBM Security QRadar lacks automated response. With this feature, there's no need to visit VirusTotal or other sites for IP reputation. There should be a small plug-in where users can click to retrieve details about the reputation and organization of public IP."
"Their technical support is not good. We opened a lot of cases and from my experience, they are not complicated issues but it takes forever to get an answer."
"The threat detection needs improvement, they have many false positives."
"I need a solution which will send alerts in the event of any behavior."
"With IBM Security QRadar, my company faced issues with the support we received for the product."
"If you have too many events that occur, then the storage capacity becomes a problem. You need to have more storage."
"We would like to see better instrumentation for debugging changes in the log flow."
"The solution can be improved by lowering the cost and bettering their technical support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing wise, DTEX would be a four on a scale from one to ten, where one is the highest price and 10 is the lowest price. It is not the cheapest solution."
"The pricing is higher but cheaper than others and there are no additional costs."
"There is a license required for this solution and it is an annual payment. I have found all solutions in the category to be expensive, including Splunk."
"The solution is costly and the price differs depending on the vendor you use."
"found other solutions, with more features at the same cost or less. You don’t have to leave the Gartner Magic Quadrant to beat their price."
"The price of this solution is a little high."
"We use QRadar as a managed service and we pay licensing fees to the partner."
"When compared with other SIM solutions, QRadar is considerably less expensive."
"Pricing (based on EPS) will be more accurate."
