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.

Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend the solution to others."
"It is suitable for large companies with critical infrastructure, and for our clients, robustness, availability at a high level, and the level of references and experiences connected to the solution are important."
"We run 65 servers globally with just two people: an engineering person and me."
"The threat hunting capabilities in general are great."
"It has improved my efficiency."
"The benefit of the solution is a combined view into all of our network events and flows from many log sources across our enterprise."
"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."
"IBM has everything you need in a cybersecurity solution. If you want to build a cybersecurity operation center version then I think QRadar is a perfect solution."
"If you want to deploy a SIEM and you want it to be simple, and not deal with much maintenance or help from the OEM, then I would say that NNT is the one."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
"The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"Customer Service: The service we've seen from NNT to date has been extraordinarily good."
"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"The Change Tracker tool is very good and will reduce your overall workload."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
 

Cons

"I would also like to see more integration with other vendors. IBM doesn't integrate well with products from China, like Huawei. Many Middle Eastern customers are switching to Huawei from American vendors like Cisco because of the price. In most RFPs, Huawei wins because it costs less."
"They should introduce some automation into the product."
"I think that the search speed of this solution could be improved."
"The solution's technical support works, but sometimes, it can take quite a long time to get a solution from technical support."
"Dashboards and reports could provide better visualization of SIEM activity."
"The solution should include remote action capabilities."
"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."
"The API integration for AD is a problem when it comes to vulnerability management. If you want to incorporate multiple factor authentication it becomes a problem with the AD. It doesn't integrate well. That needs to be improved."
"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
"For the NNT Log Tracker and Change Tracker, they have to make their knowledge base available online because there is very little information available on the internet."
"There are some issues with the stability - the correlation engine has failed multiple times, and the reports sometimes take too long, so we have to involve the tech team to get them."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is not subscription-based."
"There is an annual license required for this solution."
"IBM's Qradar is not for small companie. Unfortunately, it would be 'overkill' to place it plainly. The pricing would be too much."
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the tool."
"Licensing can be costly depending on your architecture."
"It's not expensive for the resources that it gives you."
"The licensing is also overly complex, as there is a need to buy the work load performance monitoring separately."
"The price could be better. I bought a subscription for three years."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
