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.

Manager at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
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 most valuable features are the versatility of this solution and the variety of things you can do with it."
"The product provides a complete platform for ingesting the log, doing the correlations and handling the runtime."
"I have found the most important features to be the flexibility, tech framework, and disk manager."
"IBM Security QRadar has significantly improved our incident response procedures."
"I think the QDI is very good."
"I like that it's easy to use and the performance is good."
"IBM Security QRadar's AI and machine learning capabilities for threat detection and response are exceptional, and Q Site is used to create panels and visualizations of software development processes."
"There are a lot of great out-of-the-box features included."
"The features are such that MDR is a part of XDR, which includes different products."
"I appreciate the detection and response methodology used against virus and ransomware attacks."
"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."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. CIOs appreciate the ease of installation, server configuration, and the user-friendly dashboard."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR has indeed enhanced our customers' threat detection capabilities. Many of our clients are utilizing it and have experienced positive outcomes. Overall, I would recommend it, especially considering the rising popularity of Trend Micro and its excellent product support."
"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 that it protects all of the layers."
"The response time to any issues is very quick, providing a high level of client satisfaction."
 

Cons

"It is very difficult to activate all of the network equipment, and it would help if it were made easier."
"Certain updates—especially when using Azure—don't apply directly. Our engineering team must invest additional effort to implement these updates. However, the tool's cloud-based version poses no issues. However, upgrading the product can sometimes be challenging for on-premises instances."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"Their support is very slow, and it is very difficult to find knowledgeable people within IBM."
"The initial technical support to call is less than adequate."
"The solution's technical support works, but sometimes, it can take quite a long time to get a solution from technical support."
"We're a little concerned about the latest version and the fact that it cannot be upgraded, that it requires a clean install."
"We've used technical support and it hasn't been great."
"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."
"On the financial side, it is quite expensive."
"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."
"The main drawback is the lack of local language support in Oman."
"There is a need for greater integration of non-Microsoft devices."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents."
"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

"In terms of additional costs, it depends on the subscription that you choose. There are plenty of options to choose from."
"Pricing and licensing are competitive. Their new licensing options allow logs to bypass the correlation engine for a flat rate, which is also appealing for log data that is compliance-driven for a small amount of money."
"I would like for them to lower the price."
"We use QRadar as a managed service and we pay licensing fees to the partner."
"A good approach would be to begin with an On Cloud subscription, then later on do a more exact sizing."
"The solution comes with a high price tag, while some of the competitors provide identical functionality in their offerings at no extra cost."
"It's too expensive. The licensing is also a little bit difficult to understand because you have to license it per event and per number of flows."
"This price is a little high, so it's an expensive product."
"There is a subscription needed to use Trend Micro Managed XDR. We are on an annual license."
"Trend Micro's solutions are considerably more expensive than competitors."
"The solution's pricing falls within a reasonable range—it's not the most expensive option out there, nor the cheapest."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution is cost-effective."
