Featured Reviews

Mahmoud Younes - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable installation and diverse use cases provide strong value
IBM Security QRadar has some areas for improvement. We have missed some DSM components. We need to customize logs where there is no DSM or connector for certain products. We can integrate but we have missed the DSM, which is the connector to pass logs coming from different applications. For example, with a university customer, we tried onboarding Canvas service. IBM Security QRadar does not support Canvas, so we had to create custom scripts and workarounds to pull logs from Canvas.
Ayaz Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Works well for threat detection and security
Improvements needed in Logsign SIEM are providing specific security alerts that can be filtered and configured more effectively. There should be a focus on delivering alerts tailored to specific needs rather than overwhelming users with numerous alerts. Additionally, incorporating more mature data about threats is necessary for better threat detection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The event collector, flow collector, PCAP and SOAR are valuable."
"One very useful feature is the plug-in offering that allows you to integrate it with other solutions, such as integrating it with plug-ins like Scout, Carbon Black, and the rest."
"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."
"I have used IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics in a Cloud Pak on Amazon, and there it runs on top of it and is easy to assess. Additionally, I have installed processes and characters."
"IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics's most important feature is its ease of use."
"I think QRadar is stable and currently satisfies my needs."
"Flexible and valuable product that is modular, so you can easily set up a roadmap for your clients."
"The scalability is awesome, because QRadar includes other solutions in the same console."
"Logsign provides sample logs within the product, allowing users to see how logs will appear before integration, which is a valuable feature for testing and understanding log formats."
"It has full automation and automated SIEM responses."
"The most valuable features of Logsign SIEM are its cloud capabilities, alerting functionality, integration with Elastic Search, and configuration options."
 

Cons

"The modularity could be improved."
"The user interface is a bit clunky, a bit hard to find what you need."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"They should introduce some automation into the product."
"The whole process for support is something that needs to be improved."
"IBM Security QRadar’s GUI could be improved."
"The solution should enhance its capabilities of UEBA and AI/ML tech modeling."
"They need to improve their threat intelligence feed and they need to improve their user behavior analytics modules."
"AI and machine learning need to be developed. If they develop those features, I think everything will be fine."
"Improvements needed in Logsign SIEM are providing specific security alerts that can be filtered and configured more effectively."
"I hope they address the pricing model for Logsign Next-Gen SIEM, especially regarding regional variations. The pricing should not differ based on the country of operation as it can lead to dissatisfaction among customers. A fixed pricing structure would be more favorable for us. I would also suggest enhancing the GUI interface and adding features similar to xFi Exchange from IBM Pure. This would streamline operations and save time for analysts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Go through a vulnerability assessment review for price breaks. A virtualized solution will also cut down on cost."
"The pricing needs to be such that they are more competitive with other vendors."
"An X-Force feed is free with QRadar."
"It is costlier as compared to the other alternatives available in the market."
"IBM Security QRadar is a very expensive tool."
"There are additional costs, such as the cost associated with the different hardware required for implementation and deployment. Along with the add-on apps, these are all additional costs, and they require licensing as well."
"IBM's Qradar is not for small companie. Unfortunately, it would be 'overkill' to place it plainly. The pricing would be too much."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate the price a one, where one is an extremely expensive product, and ten is a cheap product."
"Compared to other SIEMs, it has low pricing."
