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.

A stable solution that provides data protection and employee monitoring features in a single console
If a person wants to use a DLP product, they must know what data they want to protect and how to block, allow, and monitor data. We will not have any issues if the policies are correct and the user is authorized to perform the actions. Uninstalling is also pretty quick. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Improves visibility and has a great new dashboard."
"We are using the platform version, which I like."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is it has very good data correlation."
"It gives me insight and visibility, so I can detect a threat coming in and all the offenses are coming in from monitoring one spot."
"The timeline and machine learning features are great."
"The ability to add extensions is the most valuable feature. For example, extensions that provide valuable test ports."
"Senses, tracks, and links significant incidents and threats."
"Vulnerability detection is the most valuable feature. It's the tool that finds the threats."
"The product provides data protection and employee monitoring features in a single console."
 

Cons

"I really didn't like QRadar to be honest. The solution just isn't user friendly; it is clunky and the integration capabilities within the product are not that great."
"The tech support is not that good."
"It is not easy to use. The updates are not very easy."
"However, when it comes to IBM, they consider each module as a separate license with a separate cost."
"I would like for them to develop a detection management solution. It does not have a detecting management solution in it, you have to buy it as it is, on top of the extended solution."
"I would like to see more APIs available in order to provide tighter integrations between other IBM products and third-party solutions."
"QRadar UBA only keeps the data for a short while (it's refreshed every five minutes) and would be improved if this were extended to a week or month."
"From a functionality point of view, there are issues sometimes."
"The user experience should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel that the price is reasonable but compared to other products that are on the market, such as an offering by Microsoft, it is more expensive."
"The price of this solution is a little bit expensive, so if it were cheaper then it would help."
"Pricing is good."
"Our licensing costs for this solution is on a yearly basis."
"The tool's on-premise version is expensive. However, it is cheaper than Splunk. The hybrid model offers shared instances for customers, which is not expensive. Customers with a limited budget can opt for it. You can get premium support with licenses. However, if you need customized integration, you need to buy it."
"QRadar's price is reasonable compared to LogRhythm."
"The tool's price is high."
"Licensing is very expensive, IBM QRadar is a very expensive solution. If you want to minimize costs then IBM QRadar is not for you."
