IBM Security QRadar SIEM
Score 8.7 out of 10
N/A
IBM Security QRadar is security information and event management (SIEM) Software.
AlienVault USM offers a user-friendly interface and comprehensive features at a lower cost compared to QRadar, making it our preferred choice for effective threat detection and response.
QRadar is one of the top SIEMs on the market. AlienVault USM is more suitable for companies or clients having a smaller budget, as AlienVault USM is cheaper than QRadar. Regarding features, QRadar trumps AlienVault USM, as it is a product with a vast array of features.
AlienVault USM is considerably more user-friendly, but it does fall short with the search functionality that a query language offers when looking for specific logs/statistics/data.
The price and the ease-of-use, and the support from AlienVault are better. I had a lot of trouble starting out, but they guided me very well. The training provided by AlienVault was fantastic, because I could play without the fear of breaking anything.
I didn't select either product but I have used both. I suspect IBM QRadar is more expensive, however, it is also more responsive, includes support for e-streamer, does parse the "blocked" field in source fire logs, and includes UEBA.
Compared to the main competitor's products, the AlienVault USM is particularly good in terms of cost effectiveness. Your company does not need to spend a huge amount of money in the first place just to test out the result. By using AlienVault USM, you can also get great support …
AlienVault USM is particularly outperforming the competitors in terms of security threats detection. However, like all the other tools, it does not automatically do the thing that you want to do. But with correctly setting up the rules and properly tuning the tool, it can …
The tool works well compared with the two others. As I said previously, AlienVault USM gives you a lot of visibility right out of the box and with very little configuration.
However, I like the ability to customize pieces, such as log parsers and dashboards, as I see fit without …
Alienvault was the most aggressive in their pricing and marketing of ease of deployment. The ease of deployment was what really aided in their ability to win our business. The ROI was worth the investment for our security at the time. Also being a market leader aided in our …
Honestly, pricing is the main reason. AlienVault was already purchased when I was hired as Director, and the company did not have enough budget for anything else. Implementation was subpar, very disappointing, and renewal was a nightmare.
With the exception of Solar Winds, AlienVault USM is far easier to administer and support, but far less extensible. LogRhythm and Splunk are going to offer far more advanced capabilities in the way of deployment models, features, and automation capabilities. Also, other …
AlienVault was the cheapest solution compared with the competition and had similar or better features. Also, the SaaS based solution made it easy to deploy the solution without the need to maintain additional servers on premise. It was very easy to use and had a great UI which …
SIEM vendors are having to adapt and thus it is difficult to perform a true apples-to-apples comparison between all the vendors. They offer different features and can even take different approaches to solving the logging and SIEM issue. Still, with that consideration in mind, …
Though IBM QRadar is a good product, it is not easy to manage and maintain. It's too bulky to understand and manage. The correlation rules are also not easy to work with. AlienVault has great support and knowledge. The community strength derived from being open source gives …
Both of the products I have used in the past were much more medium-large sized businesses. They both had functionalities which are helpful from a trending perspective, have better reporting, and a much more involved user base. The cost of these are prohibitive compared to …
While they have a comparable range of features and functionality as SIEM's, QRadar was built to be a SIEM first and foremost where AlienVault USM has amore rounded all-inclusive set of features. Despite having more elements, AlienVault USM Anywhere is the more intuitive and …
IBM QRadar - long and clunky installation process, after which we weren't blown away by the tired and over-complicated user interface - wasn't a good fit for us. InsightIDR - disappointing engagement with their sales team, who weren't able to answer surface-level questions about …
For us it came down to cost. AlienVault's competitors just could not compare on cost for a small organization like us. They are out of touch. Everyone needs a solid tool like AlienVault, but too often the industry only caters to big budgets. More often than not, that results in …
Being able to integrate multiple uses into a single appliance is a great win for small and medium enterprises. The cost for the single solution also ends up being in reach for the SME vs. some of the other available solutions.
Comparisons with other products can be tricky, since AlienVault packs a lot into its product, and that essentially is its main strength vs. the competition. For people just looking for SIEM like functionality it is definitely compatible to other products, but some of the …
AlienVault Unified Security Management is a budget-friendly solution to a typical SIEM implementation. Although it is not as robust and well known as others, my organization decided to purchase AlienVault due to the cost savings and user-friendly interface that is available out …
With IBM supplying this solution, you're inherently getting the globally recognized IBM support environment as well. As an enterprise solution, Qradar is among stiff competition but the reliability and availability make it a cut above the rest. While I also recommend …
