Overall Satisfaction with IBM Security QRadar

Mainly IBM Security QRadar at Tristate is for SIEM, but also we use features for early threat detection.
  • 100% SIEM
  • Robust, logging collector
  • Good integration, through API with other platforms
  • I think API could be easier, I mean for non API experts.
  • Also I think upgrades can be more friendly for non Red Hat experts!!!
  • ROI has been positive for TSGT, we were able to fix many other things to save money using QRadar.
Recently used ExtraHop, Vectra Cognito, and SolarWinds Log collector.

Do you think IBM Security QRadar SIEM delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with IBM Security QRadar SIEM's feature set?

Yes

Did IBM Security QRadar SIEM live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of IBM Security QRadar SIEM go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM Security QRadar SIEM again?

Yes

In my last 3-4 years of exposure to QRadar as SIEM, I would say it is the best. We are able to see all traffic detailed on a single pane of glass. The only thing is like any other SIEM you need to know what to do with all information, otherwise, it could be useless so definitely training is needed.
