Featured Reviews

Navin Mohinani - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at Forte IT Solutions
Have faced integration challenges but continue to benefit from strong security and proactive response features
The biggest advantage of the product, as I see it as a reseller, is its security and reporting. The automated incident response feature in Comodo MDR works fantastic. When customers install custom tailor-made software which is not recognized by Comodo MDR endpoint detection response tool, it runs in an isolated environment, virtual environment, sandbox environment. If it determines that this software is not secure, not verified, or not approved by system admin, it blocks the software immediately. The software will not run, and it sends a report to the admin email instantly. If there is any issue with the software or if any incident such as a malware attack or ransomware attack is happening, or something is trying to make changes to the system files, it immediately blocks the software tool and reports back to the admin. As a reseller partner and secondary admin for the customers, my team and I directly receive a mail, and we take control of that machine. It even blocks complete network access to that machine. On the hardware side, if there is a hard disk full or RAM 90% usage or CPU 90% usage or any of these incidents, we set up an alert notification option for it. The moment these incidents occur, it sends an alert so we can recommend customers upgrade their hardware or check if there is any malfunctioning software consuming too much RAM and CPU. This incident response use case helps us keep customer machines' performance to the maximum. The 24/7 monitoring capability supports a lot in contributing to our cybersecurity strategy. It is very much compatible with our goal.

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

"However, it offers sophisticated features, especially in scanning and analyzing activities on workstations or servers."
"The product is fairly new compared to others like Trend Micro or Symantec. However, it offers sophisticated features, especially in scanning and analyzing activities on workstations or servers. It can prevent malicious operations from spreading to other applications or the network. This feature is particularly effective because it operates at the IO level, unlike behavior or signature analysis used by other products. It contains threats and alerts administrators about whether they are false positives or real threats that need immediate action or support recommendations."
"The automated incident response feature in Comodo MDR works fantastic; when customers install custom tailor-made software which is not recognized by Comodo MDR, it runs in an isolated environment, and if it determines the software is not secure, it blocks it immediately and sends a report to the admin."
"One of the most valuable features is its around-the-clock, 365-day-a-year online technical support."
"What's most valuable in IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics is its higher availability than other tools."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the GRD, for banking."
"The timeline and machine learning features are great."
"QRadar UBA's most valuable feature is the risk rating of users depending on their behavior."
"The simple user access model, or the user interface, is something that is very helpful."
"Vulnerability detection is the most valuable feature. It's the tool that finds the threats."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product can scale."
 

Cons

"I think having a higher level of MDR would be beneficial, although it's quite expensive."
"Users pay $60 per user per year, and in case there is an issue, support tickets take nearly three days or sometimes even more for a clear resolution or an answer."
"I think having a higher level of MDR would be beneficial, although it's quite expensive. This would involve not just monitoring the network but also taking actions to stop and detect threats. We haven't implemented this yet, but we're considering it for our organization's plans."
"They should consider adopting the desktop version as a solution."
"We would like to see better instrumentation for debugging changes in the log flow."
"There are many limitations in using SAP, EBS, or Micro-Dynamics; a lot of things that are happening in those platforms could also be monitored and allowed from the cybersecurity risks perspective."
"There are many types of AI, and this AI is very limited in SQL and features. There may be potential for improvement."
"It is very difficult to activate all of the network equipment, and it would help if it were made easier."
"The modularity could be improved."
"The API integration for AD is a problem when it comes to vulnerability management. If you want to incorporate multiple factor authentication it becomes a problem with the AD. It doesn't integrate well. That needs to be improved."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup due to bandwidth issues."
"The interface is very old. IBM should remake it into a more modern interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products. If you want to target a certain quantity, it should provide discounts to enterprises."
"The pricing falls within the moderate range."
"In terms of additional costs, it depends on the subscription that you choose. There are plenty of options to choose from."
"I feel that the price is reasonable but compared to other products that are on the market, such as an offering by Microsoft, it is more expensive."
"The solution comes with a high price tag, while some of the competitors provide identical functionality in their offerings at no extra cost."
"The tool's on-premise version is expensive. However, it is cheaper than Splunk. The hybrid model offers shared instances for customers, which is not expensive. Customers with a limited budget can opt for it. You can get premium support with licenses. However, if you need customized integration, you need to buy it."
"IBM Security QRadar is a very expensive tool."
"I think that the price is fair, but we can always say that the price could be cheaper."
"Licensing can be costly depending on your architecture."
"It would be great if this product were cheaper."
