IBM Security QRadar SIEM vs. Microsoft Security Copilot

I would only recommend IBM Security QRadar SIEM in a few situations. For one, it's very easy to setup and use if all your log sources are generic from known vendors. It's also significantly cheaper than Splunk, which is nice if you're trying to save money or be more efficient. I would not recommend IBM Security QRadar SIEM for environments with a lot of custom logs and complicated detection requirements.

Microsoft Security Copilot is well-suited for environments where security teams face high alert volumes and need rapid triage. It is effective during active threat response, helping us establish timelines and suggest remediation steps quickly. Copilot also excels in executive reporting, generating clear summaries for leadership without much effort. Security Copilot is less effective outside of Microsoft's ecosystem because it doesn't integrate well with other products.

QRadar is an established and stable product, we have been using it for many years and want to continue to focus on it. Anyone who has used the product and knows it knows how reliable it is and how it facilitates continuous monitoring of threats from outside and inside. it is an exceptional product that is very useful for us.

As a grade I give 8 as QRadar is not easy to learn. It requires some time to master it. It also needs a team of people actively working on the product. Once you learn to use it the software works very well and it is easy to correlate and understand detected threats. It only takes time to learn how to use it well and configure it properly.

Anyone can use it. Easy to prompt, also capabilities to become advance with custom agents. It can become custom to your workflow. Many people will have their unique experiences to share and results are generally positive. This is a growth in the product from the effect of community and adoption/usage.

Initial patience is required to learn how to use the product, and it takes a dedicated team to use it. One person is not enough, and it's not enough to just set it up and check it once in a while. It has to be used daily and kept under control to be used effectively

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.

My usage of other products is based on SIEM tools. So far, Microsoft Security Copilot is the only product I've seen that works across multiple technologies/products to provide full visibility into security tooling using AI. I know other vendors are working towards this, but Microsoft has definitely taken a lead.

• 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

Incentivized

• Helps reduce time spent creating a baseline script.
• Some errors get corrected but then get reintroduced while adding functionality.
• I noticed that when using this for PowerShell it will sometimes have you install the module in the script without verifying if it is already installed. You must read the script before executing.
