We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Some of the most valuable features I really appreciate are the performance, how quick the solution is, and how easy it is to create a query.""ArcSight provides the basic information that we want.""We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable.""It's an efficient solution.""In our country we are a little bit private in terms of solutions, so we are just starting to use the basic data capture. Now some users can start to use additional features that come with Micro Focus ArcSight like user behavior analytics for investigating.""The ESM use cases are the most valuable. It enables us to use the big data collection inside our company. We are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM solution.""The solution provides information about the risk factors.""It's a robust, mature product and you can do some really complex operations and analytics."

"The tool's most valuable feature is log source management. It enables us to connect to various log sources, including content, authentications, or other customized integrations. These integrations can be tailored for use with other platforms that don’t already have built-in IBM add-ons.""The most valuable features would have to be the products' ability to customize vulnerability management settings.""IBM Qradar's ability to simplify the number of events, not only on a technical level but by making that information easy to pan through the orchestration deduplication. It is very impressive given that we have hundreds of devices that send event logs through.""The feature that I find the most useful is that IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics is free of charge. It's a fully free product that can be installed on top of IBM QRadar SIEM.""It saves a lot of time. We integrate the customer's firewall with all their networking devices.""Customer service is very good and very helpful.""There are more than 120 extensions in QRadar, which are easy to install and configure. These can improve your analysis of events.""The playbook engine is flexible and allows for the graphical visualization of processes, enabling the implementation of dynamic playbooks for incident response or testing."

More IBM Security QRadar Pros →

"We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people.""Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far.""It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily.""It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view.""The most valuable features of Sumo Logic Security are the rules, use cases, and ease of use. Additionally, the integration is straightforward and good GUI.""I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well.""It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups.""We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."

More Sumo Logic Security Pros →

Cons
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow.""The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features.""It would be better if the product is cheaper.""Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use.""The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update.""I think the ArcSight team should try to simplify legacy products for the customers, because that product is not easy to use or to work with. It needs more more competency or appeal to use. We hope Micro Focus is trying to resolve this.""The integration with other systems could be improved.""The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"The only challenge with products like IBM is the EPS. You just have to be really on the events per second, as that's where the cost factor becomes a huge issue.""QRadar needs a lot of fine tuning""The initial setup was complex, and it took six months.""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.""The dashboard and reports are not user-friendly or efficient so are of little help with threat hunting activity.""IBM is going through some problems with its resources currently making its support response time slow.""The interface is very old. IBM should remake it into a more modern interface.""Maybe there should be more custom rules in the exchange. Basically, we are using a lot of threat rules, so maybe they'll develop something like that."

More IBM Security QRadar Cons →

"The solution should improve its UI.""Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless.""If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see.""I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports.""From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc.""Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved.""There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries.""The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."

    Overview
    HPE ArcSight Data Platform (ADP) offers a future-ready data solution that enriches data in real time and supports open standards for better threat detection. Using security data connectors, ADP collects data and enriches it in real-time to give analysts organized information that can be acted upon instantly.

    IBM Security QRadar is a security and analytics platform designed to defend against threats and scale security operations. This is done through integrated visibility, investigation, detection, and response. QRadar empowers security groups with actionable insights into high-priority threats by providing visibility into enterprise security data. Through centralized visibility, security teams and analysts can determine their security stance, which areas pose a potential threat, and which areas are critical. This will help streamline workflows by eliminating the need to pivot between tools.

    IBM Security QRadar is built to address a wide range of security issues and can be easily scaled with minimal customization effort required. As data is ingested, QRadar administers automated, real-time security intelligence to swiftly and precisely discover and prioritize threats. The platform will issue alerts with actionable, rich context into developing threats. Security teams and analysts can then rapidly respond to minimize the attackers' strike. The solution will provide a complete view of activity in both cloud-based and on-premise environments as a large amount of data is ingested throughout the enterprise. Additionally, QRadar’s anomaly detection intelligence enables security teams to identify any user behavior changes that could be indicators of potential threats. 

    IBM QRadar Log Manager

    To better help organizations protect themselves against potential security threats, attacks, and breaches, IBM QRadar Log Manager gathers, analyzes, preserves, and reports on security log events using QRadar Sense Analytics. All operating systems and applications, servers, devices, and applications are converted into searchable and actionable intelligent data. QRadar Log Manager then helps organizations meet compliance reporting and monitoring requirements, which can be further upgraded to QRadar SIEM for a more superior level of threat protection.

    Some of QRadar Log Manager’s key features include:

    • Data processing and capture on any security event
    • Disaster recovery options and high availability 
    • Scalability for large enterprises
    • SoftLayer cloud installation capability
    • Advanced threat protection

    Reviews from Real Users

    IBM Security QRadar is a solution of choice among users because it provides a complete solution for security teams by integrating network analysis, log management, user behavior analytics, threat intelligence, and AI-powered investigations into a single solution. Users particularly like having a single window into their network and its ability to be used for larger enterprises.

    Simon T., a cyber security services operations manager at an aerospace/defense firm, notes, "The most valuable thing about QRadar is that you have a single window into your network, SIEM, network flows, and risk management of your assets. If you use Splunk, for instance, then you still need a full packet capture solution, whereas the full packet capture solution is integrated within QRadar. Its application ecosystem makes it very powerful in terms of doing analysis."

    A management executive at a security firm says, "What we like about QRadar and the models that IBM has, is it can go from a small-to-medium enterprise to a larger organization, and it gives you the same value."
