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

"IBM Security QRadar has impacted my organization positively by helping me with many things, including catching attacks and moving quickly to reduce damage or risk from attacks."
"The flexibility is good in terms of pulling log files."
"SIEM technology is the most valuable feature of this solution, as it can be integrated with almost every application and system."
"The solution is reliable."
"I would definitely recommend this solution; it is a good solution with good capabilities like integration with CMDB and CVSS score, a really nice dashboard, and it can help with threat intelligence and has artificial intelligence."
"The most valuable features are log monitoring, easy-to-fix issues, and problem-solving."
"It has a logical, user-friendly GUI."
"It is a bit easier to use than other products, such as Splunk or ELK Elasticsearch."
"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."
"The response time to any issues is very quick, providing a high level of client satisfaction."
"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."
"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 features are such that MDR is a part of XDR, which includes different products."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. CIOs appreciate the ease of installation, server configuration, and the user-friendly dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Managed XDR is the console."
 

Cons

"We are considering some roadmaps to get out of IBM Security QRadar right now; that's the truth."
"The concern with QRadar is that there are so many features in the dashboard, too many menus that require going to two or three sub-monitors to enter the QRadar."
"The released patch quality is poor. IBM should test those patches on their side, not on the client's side."
"The architecture could be improved. I got stuck for a long time trying to understand the architecture, as it is quite challenging."
"No, it has not improved the efficiency of our security team."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"Several things need to be improved. We have been struggling with the QRadar support team for quite a long time."
"It is very difficult to activate all of the network equipment, and it would help if it were made easier."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents."
"The main drawback is the lack of local language support in Oman."
"On the financial side, it is quite expensive."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's too expensive."
"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."
"It is a perpetual license that we have for the event collector. The licensing is done based on the number of events and flows that you receive on this particular device. These are perpetual licenses, which means once you purchase them, they don't expire, which means that the support to IBM is definitely renewed after every one year. We have an enterprise agreement with IBM, which puts the cost in a totally different category as compared to someone who is not an IBM partner and is approaching IBM for this solution. We were able to get massive discounts. To give you an idea, we recently purchased 30,000 event licenses, and it costs around $480,000. It is definitely not a cheap product. We have licenses for about 270,000 events per second and 3 million flows per second. All the appliances and their events and flows are basically clubbed together and charged or rather calculated through a single source. The console receives all the details from all the event processes that we have globally. So, the license that we have is a single license for 270,000 events per second and 3 million flows per second, but that can be managed centrally. I was only part of the secondary purchase, which was 30,000 events per second for about $480,000. You can calculate how much we paid for 270,000 events. Reducing its price would be a compromise. We have already used a lower-priced product in the form of NNT, but we had to get rid of it because it was not doing the job that we actually wanted to do. You get what you pay for."
"We use QRadar as a managed service and we pay licensing fees to the partner."
"Pricing (based on EPS) will be more accurate."
"It is expensive. It is not a product that I can provide for SMBs. It is a program that I can only provide for really large enterprises."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"found other solutions, with more features at the same cost or less. You don’t have to leave the Gartner Magic Quadrant to beat their price."
"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."
"Trend Micro's solutions are considerably more expensive than competitors."
