This is perfect for organisations with small or limited security teams who want to get more from their Cisco and third-party investments. With Secure Endpoint makes detecting and responding to threats much easier. Any organisation looking to overhaul its security infrastructure or even wrap around its cloud-first strategy with solutions such as Intune should seriously look at Cisco’s suite of products. I’ve implemented Secure Endpoint, Umbrella, and Duo for customers primarily using Intune for device management, and the cool new insight features in Cisco SecureX really help with visibility over their estate.

monitoring network traffic is much easier while having siem in your organization and the scenario where siem is less apricated is installing adding logs source making rules according to your desire or the last thing ibm support team not proving the good feedback on instant basis in case of any critical scenarios

Cons
Cisco
  • Of course, many companies prefer to obtain security from the cloud; however, not all of them prefer it, which is why having a local implementation would allow these companies to also use said software as their ally for their security.
  • Working with this software can be simple, that is, any threat can be visualized with greater precision, but when it comes to managing its orchestration, it is a bit complex.
  • Its integration with other software can be simple but with others it is not, that is why it would be ideal if all of them could be carried out in the same way.
  • Integrating with a larger number of third party software would be of great help, to further enhance the analysis and detection of threats.

  • Need to spend more time configuring the system to properly interpret and normalize different type of data collected from multiple resources.
  • While Rule creation QRadar uses that rules to detect security threats and generate alerts, but to creating and managing rules is bit complex & tedious work to complete.
  • IBM Security QRadar SIEM is excellent in handling large & complex systems that requires in-depth knowledge and extensive training to configure and maintain the system which includes upgrading, optimization of performance & issue troubleshooting.

A lot of the look and feel of both products is quite similar. There's several best practices on visualization that are followed in both and integration of common telemetry is comfortable and quick. But while Microsoft ATP offers deep insights into mostly the Microsoft environment and a limited view into other common sources, SecureX shines in all the non-client areas Microsoft's product seems lackluster in.

IBM Qradar takes the best from its competitors. Reliable and stable but sometimes very expensive, the SIEM from IBM offers a wide range of scenarios in which the customers can suite and size their own infrastructures. IBM Qradar doesn't really needs to stack up againt its competitors because it already sets an example in the SIEM world.

  • Offense investigation was really helped in tackling the incidents. It was accurate and brief
  • The automation with IBM resilient (SOAR) was a milestone in elimination of user mistakes
  • The X-Force threat intelligence supported us in getting the work done without any 3rd party enterprise OSINT database
