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.

Technical Support Executive at Safezone Secure Solutions Private Limited
A stable solution that provides data protection and employee monitoring features in a single console
If a person wants to use a DLP product, they must know what data they want to protect and how to block, allow, and monitor data. We will not have any issues if the policies are correct and the user is authorized to perform the actions. Uninstalling is also pretty quick. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The query search and log fetching are really helpful in IBM Security QRadar when compared to other tools."
"With QRadar, we are getting better outputs such as the reports and other outputs."
"QRadar shows very effective correlations. If you combine all the logins plus user behavior and the current intelligence, it gives a very good correlation for business. I think it reduces the false positives in user activity monitoring because there is a lot of social information to correlate with other data."
"It's very easy and initiative."
"We have worked with other solutions, such as LogRhythm and Splunk. Compared to others, IBM QRadar has the best price-performance ratio so that you are able to reserve minimum costs. It starts settling in fast and gets the first results very quickly. It is also very scalable."
"IBM technical support is excellent."
"It is very stable. We have not faced interruptions in the past four and a half years."
"The way that the app has transformed over time is quite phenomenal."
"The product provides data protection and employee monitoring features in a single console."
 

Cons

"Communication between the silos sometimes becomes an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly product."
"Integration could be better. They should make it easy to integrate with other solutions."
"We've used technical support and it hasn't been great."
"We sometimes get an error about the hard drive. Approximately once in two months, we can't find the logs, and they go missing, which is a terrible issue. We are getting support for this issue from our support company."
"To be very frank, it's not that much help as of now. We are not getting that many insights from UVA, which we wanted, actually."
"IBM QRadar could improve the plugins and threat detection."
"The initial setup was complex, and it took six months."
"The user experience should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"found other solutions, with more features at the same cost or less. You don’t have to leave the Gartner Magic Quadrant to beat their price."
"Pricing and licensing are competitive. Their new licensing options allow logs to bypass the correlation engine for a flat rate, which is also appealing for log data that is compliance-driven for a small amount of money."
"QRadar is quite expensive. It wouldn't be worth it for a small business..."
"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."
"The price of this product is high."
"Our licensing costs for this solution is on a yearly basis."
"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."
"When compared with other SIM solutions, QRadar is considerably less expensive."
