Featured Reviews

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.

Centralized console enables efficient incident management and threat intelligence integration
I am struggling to export all alerts, such as those from the past five to six months, at once. I would like to extract these alerts in Excel format in one go, but I have not found this feature yet. I raised a ticket to the OEM, but I have not received a solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to transition from microscopic to macroscopic view, instantly, is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning module."
"This product helps us to find security incidents before they become a problem to the business."
"It allows us to search data both on-premises and on the cloud."
"I like the API and it's easy to use."
"It's a very good and versatile correlator."
"We've found the technical support to be very good."
"The security has improved my organization."
"The response time to any issues is very quick, providing a high level of client satisfaction."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Managed XDR is that it protects all of the layers."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. CIOs appreciate the ease of installation, server configuration, and the user-friendly dashboard."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR can be used to manage all the layers, such as server, access, cloud servers, and email layer, and it is used for overall endpoint security."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Managed XDR is the console."
"I appreciate the detection and response methodology used against virus and ransomware attacks."
"The features are such that MDR is a part of XDR, which includes different products."
"The tool has significantly improved threat detection and response times for my clients' organizations. The solution has performed exceptionally well, and my customers are pleased with both the performance of the system and the support they receive."
 

Cons

"A lot of information that we receive for the devices is IP-based, but it would help if we could have a default dashboard in which we can add more details about the assets for which we are receiving the information. For example, if it is a Windows or Linux device, we only get the IP for that particular device. We don't really get the name and other details of that particular device. For that, you have to drill down into your own asset management system. It would be good to have a place where we can probably add this information so that we don't have to look into other tools."
"The threat intelligence functionality can be better. In addition, it can have more monitoring capabilities."
"There are reports that I would like to generate that are either not included, or I cannot find."
"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."
"I would suggest QRadar release any documentation or give an online demo, like videos on YouTube. It would increase publicity and public appeal."
"AI is superb but need improvements."
"The solution is not as flexible as Splunk."
"Ideally we would like a mobile version so that any alert that comes in will notify us in a mobile app, or by using SMS integration."
"There is a need for greater integration of non-Microsoft devices."
"The product could benefit from some improvements in its interface and organization. Functionality-wise, it performs well, but there's room for enhancement in terms of user-friendliness. There are ample resources like documents and videos provided by most vendors to assist users, although reaching out for direct support might not always be straightforward."
"Being cost-effective is crucial, allowing customers with lower budgets to access the services. Offering a range of services at various price points ensures that customers can find suitable options without being compelled to explore alternative products or vendors."
"The main drawback is the lack of local language support in Oman."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents. This would allow us to explore the solution better and provide a better presentation to our customers. Addiontaally, there could be more automation features."
"I am struggling to export all alerts, such as those from the past five to six months, at once. I would like to extract these alerts in Excel format in one go, but I have not found this feature yet."
"On the financial side, it is quite expensive. If they could reduce the prices, it could attract more customers who are currently deterred by the cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As for licensing costs, I haven't seen the exact figures, but it is considered somewhat costly. On a scale from one to ten, where one is very expensive and ten is very cheap, I would rate it a six—it’s costly but worth the money."
"It's free of charge."
"When it comes to the initial pricing there can be a huge discount from there side and also I think they are open to competing with other products."
"IBM's Qradar is not for small companie. Unfortunately, it would be 'overkill' to place it plainly. The pricing would be too much."
"We use QRadar as a managed service and we pay licensing fees to the partner."
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the tool."
"When compared with other SIM solutions, QRadar is considerably less expensive."
"The price of this product is high."
"Trend Micro's solutions are considerably more expensive than competitors."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution's pricing falls within a reasonable range—it's not the most expensive option out there, nor the cheapest."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"There is a subscription needed to use Trend Micro Managed XDR. We are on an annual license."
