Powerful user behavior analytics capabilities, and the log and process collection functionality is good
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is user behavior analytics (UBA)."
  • "The whole process for support is something that needs to be improved."

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is user behavior analytics (UBA).

The EPS and FPS graphs are helpful.

The collecting of logs and processes is very good.

What needs improvement?

The support process needs to be improved.

Every SIEM solution has issues with plugins, as they have to connect to different log systems. It can affect security, infrastructure, and other things. IBM should continue to expand its database and cover as many systems as possible.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using IBM QRadar for about one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

QRadar is a very stable product.

How are customer service and support?

The whole process for support is something that needs to be improved. You have to create a case, export the log and attach it to the case, then an engineer will clarify what you need to export and attach it to the ticket or support case, and so on. When you're working with a system that does not have good bandwidth, it makes it even more stressful. It is a lot of work and it should be easier to do.

My colleague has worked more with support and the feedback that I have heard is that they are quite good. It's the process that I am complaining about.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.  We had several logs to integrate so it took a week and perhaps a few days.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this product a nine out of ten.

  • "We have had problems with networking."

We are using the platform version, which I like.

What needs improvement?

We have had problems with networking.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using QRadar for about half a year.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not tried to scale because it is installed all in one machine.

The initial setup was easy and it took one day to install it.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I like this product and I think that the features are good enough.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
