If you have a small-to-large company looking for a SIEM solution that "does the job" and is easy to deploy/use, QRadar is your tool. If you're looking for a complex solution that supports integration with data-mining solutions (e.g. ELK), then you may need a different solution. Overall, QRadar fits the needs of 99% of the companies. It is one of the easiest SIEM solutions to deploy and use.

- It allows us to have visibility to potential problems both on premise and in the cloud which was key as we have become a hybrid consumer.
- It has automated monitoring which has allowed us to see threats faster and also allowed us to be proactive.
- By having over 20,000 employees, QRadar has also allowed us to be aware of internal threats that are brought into the company by unsuspecting employees.

AlgoSec
- Enhanced integration via API (typically, this is only known by few Algosec users)

- There is a steep learning curve compared to other platforms. Qradar is incredibly powerful but does require some homework.
- There is a glaring lack of threat feed utilization outside of STIXX/TAXII which remains very limited at this time.
- May require a considerable amount of tuning during deployment with very little "out of the box" offense information.

I've had many issues with QRadar, and the support would hear and respond to my question all the time (more so than in the case of IBM Resilient support). They were very quick to respond, were helpful, and provided remote access.

Splunk Enterprise Security I've found is the easiest of all major SIEM's to deploy due to its event normalization capabilities. It lags behind QRadar in event correlation but is better in user GUI customization. One issue where QRadar beats it is in cost. Splunk starts off cheap, but as you expand (due to it's licensing model), it quickly becomes very expensive. It is the monster that keeps on feeding.
