IBM Security QRadar Reviews

A feasible solution for the detection of incidents, all our information is safe.

Comments: With IBM Security QRadar we reduce the risk of being vulnerable to a cyber attack, since the protection of this software is intuitive and prioritizes threats to be more effective in the security of our IT environment. It is a truly automatic process that guarantees the total protection of our data, has detailed reports and a very powerful response to cyber attacks.

Pros:

It is a necessary software for all our business environment, since it guarantees that our information is safe, the dashboard is intuitive and understandable, the analyzes are effective so that threats do not enter and damage our information, I like the prioritization of threats, since neutralizes in order of importance, network forensics is very good, advanced searches are good, protection of our entire IT infrastructure is high, and we really like the trust that IBM Security QRadar places in us.

Cons:

It has many features that somewhat limit the understanding of early adopters, it can be overwhelming the first time, but the quality of the results keeps our data safe and threats away.

QRadar The Best SIEM Solution

Comments: The QRadar is the one of the best Security Information and event management (SIEM) tool. It collects the logs from company IT infrastructure at centralized locations and using correlation rules we can reduce the internal and external threat landscape. It makes special when we integrate different apps with like threat intel and other.

Pros:

IBM QRadar has very simple user-friendly interface. The deployment and configuration of solution is very easy. The devices integration we can do easily with available Device Support Module

Cons:

The integration get difficult when there is no available parser.

QRadar Gets It Mostly Done At A Cost

Comments: I used QRadar for over 10 years, and have found great success in using it in a reactive sense when other staff bring up security or connectivity issues; the ability to quickly show normalized logs -- along with the raw log output for the skeptical staff out there -- is a real boon to quickly finding the root cause of an issue and moving on. The pricing and licensing schemes of the product have gotten more cumbersome since the purchase of the product by IBM, and their support channels exhibit the kind of mind-numbing bureaucracy you can expect out of such a large organization.

Pros:

When aggregating log information, the ability to quickly click and pivot around between data sources and filter results on-the-fly worked very well for any reactive kind of events. The software also did a relatively decent job on identifying data and log sources and classifying them correctly.

Cons:

The software can be very involved and cumbersome; expect to dedicate significant staff time towards it in order to keep it operational and to continually tune the software for false positives. For example, at an organization with over 2,000 employees I had to dedicate almost a single employee to perform tasks within QRadar, and nothing else. Along with that, in order to be successful your support staff must be extremely familiar with networking and understanding the reasons why devices send the logs that they do. This is not the case where you can point-and-click a few things and have a system that alerts you properly when attacks are taking place.

The Best Classical SIEM solution in the market

Comments: It's very convenient in terms of usage and visibility. We are mainly dealing with the Audits and Qradar is the main factor that we've passed the Audits.

Pros:

Easy to use. Learning curve is short. It's the same product compared to 10 years ago. It functions as it's expected. Expansion of the solution is easy. Reporting is inside the product and works well. Support is adequate.

Cons:

There's no DataBroker or in short Kafka etc for filtering. AI and ML models is missing. Within the digital transformation and cloud migrations, it falls behind for the 3rd party integrations. I need to do the integration from the scratch for Saas or Paas services. Api integrations does not work well compared to similar solutions.

IBM Qradar - an excellent tool for protecting our Digital security fortress

Comments: We needed a comprehensive security tool which can provide SIEM, SOAR, Threat intel, threat hunting and UBA and IBM Qradar provides all, hence the overall experience has been superb. Also, the excellent support from OEM makes it a win-win proposition.

Pros:

Cons:

At this stage, we are liking all features about the product.

IBM QRadar- Captures everything

A Good SIEM for a SOC

Comments: QRadar has been acting as the go to SIEM tool in many SOC deployments due to its ease of deployment and the straightforward integrations being available out of the box. Threat and incident prioritisation allows the effective response to possible attacks compared to other SIEM platforms with ease of hunting for dormant and persistent threats.

Pros:

The ease of deployment in the all-in-one VM appliance coupled with the simple log integrations are really helpful in the deployment of the platform, onboarding of log sources and to perform troubleshooting and development of custom parsers. Further, intuitive dashboards makes the administration and analysis more easier compared to other SIEM platforms.

Cons:

Compared to other SIEM solutions, QRadar would require the integration with a separate solution to achieve the FIM capabilities. Similar to above, getting logs from windows servers can be of a bit tricky. The solution has a number of features and capabilities and deployments in distributed architecture could be troublesome if the team is either new to product or have not got a comprehensive idea about the architecture and features.

Secure your Network with QRadar

Pros:

1. It is one of the best software of SIEM in the market.2. Any offense can be monitored easily on a single console.3. Customer Support is amazing

Cons:

1. It is a bit expensive when you buy it for local servers.2. One of the most expensive tools for cloud-based SIEM tools.3. It's a bit professional tool and that's why beginners get issues when using it.

High-quality monitoring that protects us from threats.

Comments: We integrated IBM Security QRadar because it is a much more functional SIEM software than the others, the usability, security, analysis and incident resolution features are amazing, it also allows a quick response to threats found in the network. It is the perfect software to monitor our infrastructure and prevent threats from entering and damaging our system.

I like that it has an easy to understand user interface, detection of threats is accurate and neutralizes them before they cause damage to our system, it is customizable and reduces the risk of damage to our system. It has detailed reports that help us understand what is happening and does not detect false positives.

Cons:

It is a high quality SIEM product, it has big differences in functions and results compared to others and although it is not so easy to use the software for the first time, it has a simple interface that you can learn to use and customize in a short time.

Best SIEM for highly productive teams

Comments: Very pleased and would definitely recommend for any sized company. For teams starting with a SIEM solution it is highly recommended

Pros:

Easy to implement correlation rules. Provides a very user friendly interface and with a few clicks can easily build monitoring rules. Has built in alert management tool

I think the UBA component can be improved to include machine learning. Rather it is currently based on static correlation rules

Protect your environment from cyber threats Using Qradar

Comments: Best Siem.
Good UI, very user-friendly.
We can use both ariel query as well as GUI for working on logs or alerts.

Pros:

It is one of the most user friendly SIEM tool, I have worked with. UI is quite good and navigation is very easy. As being a part of SOC team, it is helpful in detecting, investigating and prioritizing threats/alerts. We can create use cases based on threat condition, which will trigger an alert in case of threat defined in the use case, which will make our threat monitoring easier. It helps in securing our assets, endpoints, network everything. We can create dashboards and download reports. We can create reference sets for any IOCs or any other data which will be helpful in usecase creations or finetuning. it can be integrated with soar solutions for our ease.

Cons:

Sometimes due to less EPS, we might face Event drops during heavy flow of data. Creating dashboards for any real time detection can be difficult. Sometimes API calls fails while working on SOAR for the automated usecases.

One of best and Power Full tool for SIEM logs.

Comments: Overall this is one of the greatest solution and helps securing the organization from silent threats. With bit expertise available in SOC, this can be huge saver for organization from different threats.

Pros:

To collect Security logs at one place is one of most important and critical feature for any organization. Further we can have different use cases applied on the logs and we will be able to identify threats easily by applying expert analysis from the tool.

Cons:

I think there is a gap in UI, it can be more improved and easy to use.
