Likelihood to Recommend ElecticIQ has an architecture where it usually needs decent computing power within the organisation. The central console along with the ELK servers and PostgreSQL sever needs their own space in a distributed setup. This could be a little too expensive for small-scale organisations. But for the organizations having mid to large-scale networks. EIQ is a decent solution to serve the purpose.
Read full review QRadar is very well suited on environments where there are not multiple tenants or domains, we do have success on this kind of scenario. IBM Security QRadar SIEM is less appropriate for environments with multiple tenants, specially when each tenant represent a different End Costumer (such as for MSSP companies), those environments require a high amount of rules and building blocks replications, since each tenant will have its own "BB definitions", servers, rules exception, etc. Also, some information, such as EPS count or EPS dropped are generated by QRadar's own log sources, which takes place on default domain, therefore users associated with different domain can not have access to those logs, even when the information is related to other domain's environment. For example, even if Event Collector 1 is associated to Domain A, the log informing its dropped EPS is generated by System notification, log source that must be associated to Default domain.
Read full review Pros Effective correlation of IOCs Averaging out the Confidence Score based on different intel sources. Serves as an excellent liaison points between the Intels and SIEM/SOAR stack. Read full review Enables identification and prioritization of vulnerabilities in IT infrastructure for corrective action. Facilitates security incident investigation and forensic analysis. Provides a real-time view of security events, enabling immediate incident response. Can integrate with external threat intelligence sources to enrich data and improve threat detection. Enables the generation of detailed and customized reports. Read full review Cons Misses on a global search bar which can directly gives out the result like VirusTotal. The GUI could be more friendlier. Too many filters and graphs may overwhlem the user sometimes. The ElasticSearch(searching for IOC in the in-house EIQ database) is a little slow compared to its counterparts. Read full review 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. Read full review Likelihood to Renew With the arrival of IBM Security QRadar SIEM at our company, we have a better vision of all the security needs that may arise, it is a very safe software to use that prevents threats from damaging our IT environment, it is impossible to change it for another software.
Read full review Usability A very special system to use without problems, the process is very genuine and does not require complicated procedures.
Read full review Support Rating Customer support is Good of IBM, While Using IBM QRadar its deployment is to slow and suddenly stop working and crashed we have contacted IBM Support and Rised a Ticket within a few minute we get call back from customer support and Query Resolved by them Fast And Rapid Support of Ibm
Read full review Alternatives Considered The most important feature of EclecticIQ which gives it an edge compared to other TIPs is that it performs segregation of IOCs based on the relevance of it and the links that IOCs might have which other adversaries. The graphical format mapping where the user can easily figure out how the IOCs have connections to different binaries is another advantage. One can set the half-life time for an IOC which will reduce the confidence score as per one's need.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Return on Investment Positive: Effective usage of all the premium Intels in a uniform fashion. No need to log in to each tool time and again. Positive: SOC Analysts spends lesser time on the internet and the analysis for the IOCs with graphical format is fulfilled by EclecticIQ. Negative: Higher costs over the resource utilization in the initial setup. Read full review 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 Read full review ScreenShots
