IBM
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.

Cons
IBM
  • 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.
