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.

Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The threat protection network is the most valuable feature because when you get an offense, you can actually trace it back to where it originated from, how it originated, and why."
"The solution supports MSSP models, which most service providers have, meaning that a single system can be onboarded for all 200 existing customers for monitoring purposes."
"IBM Qradar has great data reduction, and we have several hundred million log records arrive on various of the platforms daily and have been able to tune them to alert on important things well, with very few false positives."
"Its technology is quite new and it has a predefined set of templates that can be readily used for our business, so we don't have to innovate much."
"Most of the features are good. It is an excellent solution."
"For a SIEM solution, it is the best one to go with."
"I like the graphical interface. It's so good and easy."
"I would definitely recommend this solution; it is a good solution with good capabilities like integration with CMDB and CVSS score, a really nice dashboard, and it can help with threat intelligence and has artificial intelligence."
"The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
"Customer Service: The service we've seen from NNT to date has been extraordinarily good."
"The Change Tracker tool is very good and will reduce your overall workload."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
"If you want to deploy a SIEM and you want it to be simple, and not deal with much maintenance or help from the OEM, then I would say that NNT is the one."
 

Cons

"There was some complexity in the initial setup due to bandwidth issues."
"They should introduce some automation into the product."
"I think QRadar is very complex."
"Certain updates—especially when using Azure—don't apply directly. Our engineering team must invest additional effort to implement these updates. However, the tool's cloud-based version poses no issues. However, upgrading the product can sometimes be challenging for on-premises instances."
"We're a little concerned about the latest version and the fact that it cannot be upgraded, that it requires a clean install."
"The dashboards are all legacy and old."
"We actually have very few use cases and there were lots of false positives with QRadar."
"We need more features in order to create rules to detect or to meet some requirements for other areas, for example, catching the event from other authentication tools."
"There are some issues with the stability - the correlation engine has failed multiple times, and the reports sometimes take too long, so we have to involve the tech team to get them."
"For the NNT Log Tracker and Change Tracker, they have to make their knowledge base available online because there is very little information available on the internet."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IBM's Qradar is not for small companie. Unfortunately, it would be 'overkill' to place it plainly. The pricing would be too much."
"They can give us some scalability and flexibility on pricing. If its pricing can be reduced, it would help a lot of customers in bringing in a new SIEM environment and grow business in the market. If I start a license today and take around 10,000 EPS, and after a month, there is an increase in the number of clients on my platform, I can increase the number of licenses. I can add 5,000 EPS on a yearly basis."
"The tool is priced in a competitive manner. The tool's price is dependent on the installation and the product size, but it is competitive in the marketplace."
"Customers have to purchase a license based on the number of users, devices, and applications they want to protect. It allows you to take a license on a subscription basis for three years or five years."
"It is very expensive."
"We use QRadar as a managed service and we pay licensing fees to the partner."
"The pricing needs to be such that they are more competitive with other vendors."
"When compared with other SIM solutions, QRadar is considerably less expensive."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
