IBM Security QRadar SIEM is well suited in Large & Complex organization as it can handles large volumes of security data from various sources, which makes QRadar an ideal solution from which organizations monitor and manage security events centrally. Also its well suited in High-risk organizations where high level of regulatory compliance and sensitive data such as healthcare, finance, and government, may find QRadar a valuable tool for detecting and preventing security threats. QRadar is less suited where organizations require simple IT environment with limited budget.

Cons
Exabeam
  • More and better drop-down menus, some items in threat hunter require you know subsets.
  • Less dashboards, combine AA and DL without having separate logins.
  • More complete playbooks are already built out. You have the structure set up for templates like malware and phishing, go further and completely build them out from start to finish, most companies would just use them and not personalize their configurations.
  • Quarterly health checkup diagnostics of systems sent out to users.

The response time may vary according to the number of complexity of the problems to be solved, in simple situations such as to solve some integration of all IBM modules or to manage and analyze data from other sources or products, it may be achieved in less than an hour, but if your problem is much more complicated, it may take a few days to solve your problems.

IBM QRadar is way easier to deploy and use than the other SIEM tools. In literally hours you have a whole environment up and running. Also, QRadar comes with way more out-of-the-box parsers (called DSMs) than any other tool. Also, recently, QRadar released their app store, in which you can download extension packs for your QRadar, so you can easily deploy things such as User Behavior Analytics (UBA) and interactive dashboards
