IBM Security QRadar SOAR vs. Trellix Helix

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.

Great for organizations that are considering improving their operational security by utilizing their threats intelligence capabilities. It offers a great collection and analysis of security events and provides solutions to solve them. When considering a solution that is secure and can provide very extensive visualization of your environment for threats.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Single location for all security event management
• Detect advanced threats
• Provide audit artifacts to ensure compliance

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Additional integration points (API cloud integrations).

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.

Incentivized

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.

We've been fairly happy with FireEye Helix support overall. Most issues are resolved the same day the case is opened.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

It offers extensive visibility thus easy detection of threats and easy mitigation practices. Utilization of its threats intelligence capabilities thus early detection of incidents and maximization of security investments. Offers great integration of cloud resources with existing security tools thus ensuring seamless performance and all-time security for the organizational resources.

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.
