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.
MehulSharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Users appreciate comprehensive threat management features and find management console straightforward
Regarding machine learning-based threat protection in Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites, customers are not using that, so I am not taking any responses from the customers. If you want, you can drop me a mail, and then I will collect the information from my customers. I don't know about it, actually. I am a salesperson, not technical. Other than pricing, the areas of Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites that I would like to see improved or enhanced depend on cases. For approximately 1300 to 1200, it varies by case. When it involves 500 customers or 200 customers, it could go up to 900 and 1000 rupees. We win cases often.
