Product Details

What is IBM Security QRadar SIEM?

IBM QRadar SIEM helps users to remediate threats faster by prioritizing high-fidelity alerts to help catch threats.

QRadar analytics monitor threat intel, network and user behavior anomalies to prioritize where immediate attention and remediation is needed. When threat actors trigger multiple detection analytics, move across the network or change their behaviors, QRadar SIEM will track each tactic and technique being used. More important, it will correlate, track and identify related activities throughout a kill chain, with a single high-fidelity case, automatically prioritized for the user.

This tool is of great help in taking full control of the different IBM options that we are using in the company; it is highly compatible with any other software that is available. Security Qradar will maintain total security in each of the departments of your organization, providing confidence in everything elaborated, so any threat or attack that may exist and damage any result is immediately visualized, so it is constantly analyzed and efficient.
  • Automation capability and control.
  • Supply of information in real time.
  • Server attacks are protected.
  • Excellence technical support.
  • Easy to run.
  • The capacity of tables and graphs should be improved to keep all job environments safe, so those graphs are somewhat uncomfortable for newbies.
It works for any department of the business organization, be it small, medium, or large, as long as you want the entire system to run smoothly and safely. It has, in an integral way, the artificial intelligence processes and above all the essential detection of any threat in real and constant time. It has a very capable technical service and is always willing to help whenever necessary, which is why this tool is necessary for your company.
  • Its on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployment allows for broader development.
  • AI threat detection and correlation works in a short time.
  • It allows working with other tools without having to perform data migration.
This software has a very well-designed interface to work together with all of IBM's own software or third-party software; this is important to work without having to perform additional data migrations, and this is significantly positive for data analysis that comes from other sources external to the IBM Security QRadar software.
It is very important to note that this technical support does manage to establish direct contact with the administrator of this software in a relatively short time, but considering my role in this software, I think that a good option may be to be active in the different discussions with its user community. That always uploads new updates of new technologies so that you are aware of new trends and functions.

  • It allows us to monitor our entire IT environment automatically to detect threats and incidents in real time.
  • The configuration and creation of security rules is simple, it has allowed us to customize it to our convenience and needs.
With the arrival of IBM Security QRadar SIEM at our company, we have a better vision of all the security needs that may arise, it is a very safe software to use that prevents threats from damaging our IT environment, it is impossible to change it for another software.
A very special system to use without problems, the process is very genuine and does not require complicated procedures.

  • Regarding hidden threats on the network, we have made very effective progress with the visualization capacity, this also helps to save a lot of money.
  • Includes user behavior analytics.
  • Its approach to visualization in the hybrid cloud environment is ideal for our overall security development.
In this aspect, we can carry out direct work with the integration of the IBM Security Verify audit file log directly with the logs on the QRadar server, these links are made in very few steps and without having to request additional administrative permissions from the team IBM provides to us for our licenses to all of our software.
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.

Qradar is a leader SIEM solution and we are consulting companies for installation, technical issues, correlation rules etc. Most of the problem is about the legacy dashboard. Many companies want to see like splunk view and usage but less than Qradar price. Qradar is trying to improve this side like Users, log source management tabs but it is relatively slow. However, the solution mostly stable for working. Another issue is related to upgrades. When we uppgrade the solution, many issues are solved but many problems are coming together. Sometimes, finding the suitable version can be hard. Another issue, IBM support. It is better than many other products' support but it is not enough. Escalation period is relatively long and they can reject your escalation request. Finally, when you find some notification or error logg about an issue. However there is no solution for these issues in troubleshooting guide.
  • Mostly stable.
  • Strong Threat Intelligence.
  • Correlation Rules.
  • Log collection and auto-parser.
  • Support
  • Documentation
I added some logs and screenshots to support portal but the analyst wants the same things again without any questions or suggestions. Also, log parser can be time consuming. As some of the other SIEM solutions, Qradar need to be improve itself. Offenses page is very legacy and case process can be visualized. Annotation part must be grafically for better understanding.

  • The custom rule engine is successful.
  • Rule creation is very easy with predefined sentences.
  • Ease of use.
Actually, it can be successfully integrated with 3rd party solutions like virus total or SocRadar, but it is a bit hard to understand for API integration even if it has an API Guide.
Support is not bad. However some situations make me a bit nervous. I take screenshots, collect logs and notifications and upload them to the case. The analyst wants them again without any suggestion or question. I add possible solution but it wrote in the guide make it with support however they don't return me and I apply this solution and return to the case I made and solved. They say "ok good I am closing the case then". Another case I cannot reached to the assigned analyst due to power outage. That is so unprofessional. Despite all this, many cases are solved in an acceptable time period and these are exceptions.
Correlation rule capabilities are very good. Maybe that is not best but its ROI is best. In addition, it is IBM and in my region, Qradar is one of the best SIEM solutions with good quality local and global support.

They are consultants and SOC Analysts.

We are consulting company, and we are a partner of IBM. So, we have Qradar consultants.
  • We can install and make Qradar ready in one day.
  • Support capabilities are very high but a bit slow.
  • The dashboard is legacy, but Qradar works well.
  • Local partnership is better than other SIEM solutions, so it is more preferred.
  • ROI is very high.
  • IBM is hard to work with.
  • Dashboard renovation.
  • Automatic parser mechanism must be improved like elastic/Wazuh/Splunk...
  • Offense workflow must be more readable.
No
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
We know the product, and this is the solution that best meets our expectations. Maybe we can add a new solution for SMEs because of price.
