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

"I like that the core functionality is not in different modules. The event correlation is quite powerful."
"One of the most valuable features is its ability to integrate with other solutions. IBM has a lot of solutions and we have managed to make it work with IBM BigFix and MaaS360, and even Microsoft."
"Almost every feature is useful."
"I am fond of IBM Security QRadar because it is very user-friendly."
"Blocks of predefined conditions can be used to configure detection rules without having to write complicated script."
"The IBM QRadar Licensing for the core Events(EPS) and Flows(FPS) is per second based, the licensing is perpetual and surely expensive but the output of the product makes it worth your money."
"For a SIEM solution, it is the best one to go with."
"Previously, we had to do a lot of debugging when we wanted to change our firewall policy to find out which rule was blocking things, etc. With QRadar, when you integrate the logs of the firewall, you have with two clicks, the info in real-time."
"IBM QRadar is probably the best possible solution in the market."
 

Cons

"Incident management could be improved, along with enforcement capabilities, which DTEX does not have at the moment."
"I would suggest QRadar release any documentation or give an online demo, like videos on YouTube. It would increase publicity and public appeal."
"The usability of interfaces could be improved."
"The concern with QRadar is that there are so many features in the dashboard, too many menus that require going to two or three sub-monitors to enter the QRadar."
"We did encounter stability issues as IBM’s patches are not stable at all."
"SOAR is what is expected the most from QRadar. They have something called SOAR Resilient, and it would be great if that gets induced in SIEM. IBM QRadar (as well as McAfee ESM) should have analytics platform integration. Currently, SIEMs don't have full-fledged integration with analytics where we are able to dump our data in SIEM, and the same data can be called from different analytics applications. We should be able to bring this data to a platform like Hadoop for big data and run the analytics there. Currently, people are seeing the past data and taking some actions in the present, but when it comes to analytics, there should be futuristic data where you can predict something out of your present and past data. Apart from that, I would like to see a full-fledged ITSM tool in QRadar. It sometimes has some technical issues that need to be checked. It requires a dedicated QRadar engineer to completely manage it. It has different module sets, such as event collector and event processor, and some technical glitches come in between. It takes the log but doesn't exactly process it in the way we want."
"I'm not sure about the stability just yet. We've observed a few issues and we raised a supporting ticket for it."
"There could be improvements made to the UI, the user interface. Though the newer version, 7.3.2, might already have this improvement in place."
"The solution should enhance its capabilities of UEBA and AI/ML tech modeling."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing wise, DTEX would be a four on a scale from one to ten, where one is the highest price and 10 is the lowest price. It is not the cheapest solution."
"The price of this solution is a little bit expensive, so if it were cheaper then it would help."
"The price of this product is high."
"There is a license required for this solution and it is an annual payment. I have found all solutions in the category to be expensive, including Splunk."
"The tool's price is high."
"It is overly expensive and overly complex in terms of licensing. They have many different appliances, which makes it extremely difficult to choose the technology. It is very difficult to choose the technology or QRadar components that you should be deploying. They have improved some of it in the last few years. They have made it slightly easy with the fact that you can now buy virtual versions of all the appliances, which is good, but it is still very fragmented. For instance, on some of the smaller appliances, there is no upgrade path. So, if you exceed the capacity of the appliance, you have to buy a bigger appliance, which is not helpful because it is quite a major cost. If you want to add more disks to the system, they'll say that you can't."
"The cost of this product is expensive."
"Our licensing costs for this solution is on a yearly basis."
"It is costlier as compared to the other alternatives available in the market."
