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.

Centralized console enables efficient incident management and threat intelligence integration
I am struggling to export all alerts, such as those from the past five to six months, at once. I would like to extract these alerts in Excel format in one go, but I have not found this feature yet. I raised a ticket to the OEM, but I have not received a solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is good overall."
"Paradigm shift, security intelligence 2.0 Contextual-based incident management Threat-based incident management A single management console to handle all the data Ease of use Existing integration capabilities Out-of-the-box reports Parser development"
"This product collects all of the system logs and analyzes them to see if there are any security threats, or there have been any attacks."
"Most of our clients have seen a return on investment because compared to other solutions it does not require a busload of people to operate it and it is reasonably priced."
"The solution is functional right out of the box and it's a pretty simple system with different kinds of solutions that address different types of problems."
"It is a pretty solid product for the type that it is representing. It is a CM solution as compared to Splunk or ArcSight from HP. It is also user friendly. It comes with some internal AI as well, in which it automatically maps multiple lots from unrelated devices and makes a smart decision to link them back and create an offense based on that. It is a smart tool."
"Pulse, UEBA, and NBAD are the features that are the best, and they are the most useful from a SOC manager perspective."
"It has a powerful GUI where you can put together your use cases, and don't have to write your own scripts."
"The response time to any issues is very quick, providing a high level of client satisfaction."
"The tool has significantly improved threat detection and response times for my clients' organizations. The solution has performed exceptionally well, and my customers are pleased with both the performance of the system and the support they receive."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. CIOs appreciate the ease of installation, server configuration, and the user-friendly dashboard."
"I appreciate the detection and response methodology used against virus and ransomware attacks."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Managed XDR is that it protects all of the layers."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR can be used to manage all the layers, such as server, access, cloud servers, and email layer, and it is used for overall endpoint security."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR has indeed enhanced our customers' threat detection capabilities. Many of our clients are utilizing it and have experienced positive outcomes. Overall, I would recommend it, especially considering the rising popularity of Trend Micro and its excellent product support."
"The features are such that MDR is a part of XDR, which includes different products."
 

Cons

"Customer support needs some improvement as there have been a few cases where we were unable to reach them in time."
"Trying to get answers out of IBM is like trying to get blood out of a stone. They need to be more helpful and responsive."
"There are many limitations in using SAP, EBS, or Micro-Dynamics; a lot of things that are happening in those platforms could also be monitored and allowed from the cybersecurity risks perspective."
"The initial setup requires that you have somebody with the proper skill set, and it would help if the configuration were easier."
"I would like for Yara to be supported by all components."
"The product needs to improve its GUI."
"We were very disappointed."
"Basically, your listening agent is at the mercy of the administrators, and for a security device or security software, that is a big vulnerability, because anybody can then go into the server, stop the agent, and then run any command or make any change they want to do, which would make your monitoring null and void."
"On the financial side, it is quite expensive. If they could reduce the prices, it could attract more customers who are currently deterred by the cost."
"The main drawback is the lack of local language support in Oman."
"The product could benefit from some improvements in its interface and organization. Functionality-wise, it performs well, but there's room for enhancement in terms of user-friendliness. There are ample resources like documents and videos provided by most vendors to assist users, although reaching out for direct support might not always be straightforward."
"I am struggling to export all alerts, such as those from the past five to six months, at once. I would like to extract these alerts in Excel format in one go, but I have not found this feature yet."
"There is a need for greater integration of non-Microsoft devices."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents. This would allow us to explore the solution better and provide a better presentation to our customers. Addiontaally, there could be more automation features."
"Being cost-effective is crucial, allowing customers with lower budgets to access the services. Offering a range of services at various price points ensures that customers can find suitable options without being compelled to explore alternative products or vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"As for licensing costs, I haven't seen the exact figures, but it is considered somewhat costly. On a scale from one to ten, where one is very expensive and ten is very cheap, I would rate it a six—it’s costly but worth the money."
"Licensing can be costly depending on your architecture."
"The solution's pricing is based on the EPS model."
"The tool's on-premise version is expensive. However, it is cheaper than Splunk. The hybrid model offers shared instances for customers, which is not expensive. Customers with a limited budget can opt for it. You can get premium support with licenses. However, if you need customized integration, you need to buy it."
"It's not expensive for the resources that it gives you."
"Its price is good in terms of efficiency and the number of people required for implementing various things. You might pay more in terms of money, but you might save on the number of people. For example, if you are using Kibana, you have to pay more for people or experts, which is not the case with IBM QRadar."
"The pricing is always fine."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The solution's pricing falls within a reasonable range—it's not the most expensive option out there, nor the cheapest."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"Trend Micro's solutions are considerably more expensive than competitors."
"There is a subscription needed to use Trend Micro Managed XDR. We are on an annual license."
