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.

I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Vulnerability detection is the most valuable feature. It's the tool that finds the threats."
"The most valuable features are: Auto update: QRadar will download new logs from the database on the supported security device, so that it will automatically normalize the new log format and you will not need to rewrite all your rules/offenses again."
"We are a system integrator and IBM QRadar is one of the security and monitoring products that we implement for our clients."
"IBM QRadar is easy to scale, it doesn't affect the environment. In our office, we have around 40 - 50 users, but our clients have more users on their networks. Our organization has staff in the software department that manages IBM QRadar for us."
"We run 65 servers globally with just two people: an engineering person and me."
"We have seen a good return on investment with IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics."
"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."
"This is a good tool to have because it gives you the ability to track what is currently happening in your environment."
"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
 

Cons

"Their technical support is also good. During weekends they are only looking at the priority issues. That is difficult, because sometimes the critical log sources stop sending events to QRadar and in those cases we need support on an urgent basis, but they're not going to support it during weekend."
"The technical support can be improved a little bit, and the price could be cheaper."
"IBM Security QRadar's mobile app lags behind with limited offensive viewing and no push alerts for high-severity incidents."
"The AQL queries could be better."
"I need a solution which will send alerts in the event of any behavior."
"QRadar needs a lot of fine tuning"
"The tool is very complicated."
"The first area for improvement is the cost. It's a little bit too expensive for us."
"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a licensing model that is based on events per second so it scales to need and budget."
"The license is not subscription-based."
"The solution's pricing is based on the EPS model."
"Pricing is good."
"There is an annual license required for this solution."
"Customers have to purchase a license based on the number of users, devices, and applications they want to protect. It allows you to take a license on a subscription basis for three years or five years."
"The product is expensive. We have purchased the perpetual license, but we pay for the support."
"The cost of this product is expensive."
