"It is really helpful to us from the compliance point of view."
"What I like the most about it is that you can very easily install and configure it. As compared to other SIEM solutions, for which you need to know and do a lot more to prepare your SIEM environment, QRadar is much simpler to install and configure. There are various options in the Admin console. In the Admin tab, you can design dashboards and view various graphs. It has a lot of attractive features, and you don't need to configure everything on your own."
"The product provides a complete platform for ingesting the log, doing the correlations and handling the runtime."
"Blocks of predefined conditions can be used to configure detection rules without having to write complicated script."

"Flexible and valuable product that is modular, so you can easily set up a roadmap for your clients."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the GRD, for banking."
"It is incredibly easy to deploy. All the appliances are flexible in the roles that they serve and are all managed the in the same way."
"The logging functionality could be better."

"In terms of additional features, a mobile app would be nice. Also, the reporting is definitely okay, but you have to make sure that everybody with different roles can understand it. There is room for improvement in the reporting."
"Integration could be better. They should make it easy to integrate with other solutions."
"The playbook guide which specifies the rules for security use cases needs to be provided to support in case the organization needs help."
"What needs to be improved in IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics is the user experience. It's not optimal. Some screens are a bit clunky. The solution needs to be more user-friendly."
"The technical support can be improved a little bit, and the price could be cheaper."
"IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics could improve machine learning use cases because they are limited and most of the use cases are rule-based. They should develop more use cases, such as in Securonix or Exabeam because they will detect a threat. Using machine learning is mainly on the correlation rules, but if you think about Exabeam or Securonix, they detect using machine learning or machine learning-based algorithms."
"They need to improve their threat intelligence feed and they need to improve their user behavior analytics modules."
"The quality of technical support depends on the IBM support person. Sometimes, it's hard to get the right person on the other side. A ticket coordinator could be the key to better quality delivery."
