Programmer 1 at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Logging has reduced costs and now provides fast queries and dashboards for lambda troubleshooting
Axiom Team excels at querying, with a query language that makes it very easy to assemble queries. The platform also makes it simple to create dashboards from logs. Axiom Team dashboards are used to monitor execution time, pricing, and errors. Axiom Team has positively impacted the organization by greatly reducing logging costs.
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Axiom Team has positively impacted my organization mainly in terms of cost, as we have reduced our logging cost by approximately half."
"Axiom Team has positively impacted the organization by greatly reducing logging costs."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integration capabilities on offer."
"Regarding the tool's ability to maintain high-security standards, I rate it ten out of ten."
"With QRadar we managed to focus on the more critical incidents that we have experienced and as a result we have managed to decrease the most critical incidents and most critical attacks, and now we are focusing on the ones that are not too heavy or too critical so at the moment we are more secure than before."
"I have found visibility very helpful for analytics."
"The most valuable features are log monitoring, easy-to-fix issues, and problem-solving."
"QRadar is helping us to identify ongoing, day-to-day threats and analyze the risk in our environment, including user behaviors, and we can easily monitor many things using this tool."
"IBM Security's QRadar Security Intelligence is a multi-feature security monitoring platform that provides log management, SIEM, NetFlow, application monitoring, vulnerability scanning, full packet capture and risk analysis."
"The most valuable features are all the implementations, the plug-ins, and the User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
 

Cons

"Axiom Team can be improved by ingesting logs faster, if possible."
"Customer support needs some improvement as there have been a few cases where we were unable to reach them in time."
"The architecture could be improved. I got stuck for a long time trying to understand the architecture, as it is quite challenging."
"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."
"From a functionality point of view, there are issues sometimes."
"It is a bit more expensive than some others, SIEM, but it is more efficient."
"While the interface is easy to use, it could be a little more responsive."
"It is very expensive; very expensive."
"I'd like to see it being able to be integrated with more security products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of this product is high."
"There is a license required for this solution. There are some limitations depending on what license you purchase."
"The pricing is always fine."
"Its price is good in terms of efficiency and the number of people required for implementing various things. You might pay more in terms of money, but you might save on the number of people. For example, if you are using Kibana, you have to pay more for people or experts, which is not the case with IBM QRadar."
"QRadar's price is reasonable compared to LogRhythm."
"Pricing (based on EPS) will be more accurate."
"The tool's price is high."
"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."
