    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.

    Intermapper is a light weight, quick and easy to use monitoring application. It will get you up and monitoring key infrastructure devices with a simple management interface and effective alert system that doesn't generate a lot of noise. It provides mobile device access through a web interface and is relatively inexpensive.

    Pros
    IBM
    • QRadar's ability to collect, analyze and normalize vast amount of security data from various sources is remarkable.
    • QRadar allows us to define and automate incident response playbooks which have been amazing for streamlining the response to security incidents.
    • It offers and extensive library of pre-built connectors and support for common security standards facilitating seamless integration with a wide range of security tools.

    • The best thing about Intermapper is that it is map-based. You start by building your map, which is done completely automatically. I've used many different monitoring software packages, Solarwinds, Nagios, Opmanager, and it is a royal PITA to create live maps with those.
    • Another great feature is that it shows you, visually, the bandwidth utilization of your network by using "ants" and color codes. Incredibly useful.
    • Alarms are very easy to setup, again much easier than the packages mentioned above.

    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.

    • Setting up probes in bulk can be difficult, so it can take a long time to get the system set up correctly to start.
    • Sometimes the probes can be sensitive and report false positives.
    • Interface can be a little clunky and non intuitive at times.

    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.

    Usability
    IBM
    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.

    Reliability and Availability
    IBM
    I would rate IBM Security QRadar SOAR's availability as 9 out of 10. The platform is highly reliable, with minimal unplanned outages or application errors, ensuring it’s available when needed. However, occasional minor maintenance periods or rare connectivity issues prevent it from achieving a perfect score in terms of availability.

    Performance
    IBM
    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.

    Support Rating
    IBM
    I would rate IBM Security QRadar SOAR's support an 8 out of 10. The support team is knowledgeable, responsive, and generally provides helpful solutions. However, there can be occasional delays when addressing more complex issues, which prevents it from being a perfect score. Overall, the support experience has been positive.

    The product works well and is very easy to maintain. As such, we haven't had many occasions to use support. When we have called them they were easy to contact and responsive to our questions. We have had the product for years and it may have been a year or better since the last time we contacted them.

    Implementation Rating
    IBM
    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.

    Alternatives Considered
    IBM
    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.

    Intermapper is a cross between WhatsUp Gold and Nagios. WhatsUp Gold being for a less technical end-user and Nagios doing more than just SNMP scans and up down monitoring.

    Scalability
    IBM
    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.

    • Downtime costs money. Every minute we can get ahead of an outage is time that a plant is not sitting there waiting. We don't need to wait for a call from a plant, we know they are down immediately and we can begin troubleshooting.
