Real-time incident detection and user-friendly dashboard benefit daily operations
There are many types of AI, and this AI is very limited in SQL and features. There may be potential for improvement. So far, it seems very limited. It shows some good features in the correlation part, but I think there is room for improvement. For instance, when creating rules, it can suggest more rules, reducing the effort needed. If AI-related support can suggest rules and integrate with existing security devices like MD, IPS, this SIM can create more relevant rules. Sometimes logs I receive don't mean anything, and I need technical stakeholders to share or forward logs, but these are sometimes inadequate. Keywords can help identify insufficient logs. I often lack time to verify logs. Sharing false positive results could be reduced to help my team.

Great features, good support, and lots of functionality
I'm an end-user. We use the solution on multiple clouds. I'd advise users to validate which product and metrics will help them the most. The solution has multiple functionalities. Don't go in blindly. Know what you want to get out of the product. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten based on the scalability potential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the graphical interface. It's so good and easy."
"This console gives you the entire view, which makes life easier and allows you to take precautionary measures."
"Vulnerability data, network data and the like, are part of correlation and detection."
"The dashboard is easy to use and easy to understand what's going on and what the alerts mean."
"The tool's most valuable feature is real-time detection."
"Vulnerability detection is the most valuable feature. It's the tool that finds the threats."
"We run 65 servers globally with just two people: an engineering person and me."
"Search capabilities are sufficient for most tasks."
"They have multiple great features."
 

Cons

"I would also like to see more integration with other vendors. IBM doesn't integrate well with products from China, like Huawei. Many Middle Eastern customers are switching to Huawei from American vendors like Cisco because of the price. In most RFPs, Huawei wins because it costs less."
"The features that could be improved include the licensing model and the dashboards and all those presentations. Overall, the user experience part can be improved."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"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."
"Do your research before implementing it, because it is tough to implement."
"The user interface is a bit clunky, a bit hard to find what you need."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup due to bandwidth issues."
"While the interface is easy to use, it could be a little more responsive."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is very expensive."
"The price of this solution is a little high."
"It is costlier as compared to the other alternatives available in the market."
"IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics is an application framework and you can install many applications without any additional costs."
"The product is expensive. We have purchased the perpetual license, but we pay for the support."
"IBM QRadar is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"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."
