    I'd recommend Cybereason due to it's efficacy, low TCO, low false/positive rate. The product was easy to implement and maintain. One of the major advantages of using Cybereason is that it requires minimal training for level 1 users to use the tool.

    IBM Security QRadar SOAR is versatile. All the major players in SOAR field require the administrator to have coding experience but with IBM it is different. IBM's solution is a full-fledged automation solution, and not some threat-based or limited one. Meaning whatever comes to your mind, if you can write the code, you can do it. This goes from daily tasks from SOC to daily tasks of your network or security administrator or any other administrator. You can manage your ITSM solution if you want to, IBM is a playground and there is much to discover in its capabilities. If you do not have the knowledge or if you want a SOC/Threat Based SOAR solution, meaning you want automation but you want it to be limited to an area and out-of-box, you may choose other alternatives.

    • You still have to generate reports manually. Reports are very limited and practically not useful.
    • The solution should not be SOAR class. Automations usually don't work. It's apparent that it's not designed for that.
    • Lack of flexibility.
    • Practically no support. The reported integration problems have not been resolved.

    I'd rate my likelihood of renewing the use of IBM Security QRadar SOAR as an 8 out of 10. Its strong automation, customization, and integration capabilities make it highly valuable for incident response and cybersecurity research. However, occasional complexity and the need for more streamlined usability prevent it from being a perfect score.

    I would rate IBM Security QRadar SOAR's overall usability a 7 out of 10. The interface is quite functional and offers a wide range of features, but it can be somewhat complex and intimidating for beginners. Additionally, the configuration and customization can require a significant learning curve, especially for those without prior experience with security orchestration and automation platforms.

    I would rate IBM Security QRadar SOAR's performance as 8 out of 10. Pages generally load quickly, and reports complete in a reasonable time frame, even for complex data. While integration with other systems is smooth, there can be occasional slowdowns when handling very large datasets or during peak usage, which affects the perfect score.

    I would rate my satisfaction with the implementation of IBM Security QRadar SOAR as 7 out of 10. The process was generally straightforward, supported by helpful documentation and responsive support. However, certain advanced configurations proved more challenging and required more technical effort than anticipated, making the overall experience less seamless.

    Cybereason provides superior protection than either Microsoft or CrowdStrike and a better TCO. We receive less false positives than with Microsoft Defender and Cybereason is easier for level 1 users to use.

    Overall, IBM Security QRadar SOAR offered the same set of functionality that was needed by the organization as offered by Splunk SOAR, but the former is less expensive and solves all the purpose within budget. In addition, integration with other IBM products was easier and made implementation of a SOAR solution much faster.

    I would rate IBM Security QRadar SOAR's overall scalability as 9 out of 10. It effectively scales to handle large volumes of incidents and can be deployed across multiple departments or sites. Its architecture supports growing data and integration needs, but advanced configuration for larger deployments may require more effort, preventing a perfect score.
