"An Easy to Implement SIEM Solution"

4/5

What do you like best about IBM QRadar SIEM?

I have worked on multiple SIEM solutions and find Qradar easy among them to onboard log sources. Also, it supports a wide range of log sources integration as Out of Box. Though the custom rule set present is not that useful, creating new rules is easy compared to other SIEMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM QRadar SIEM?

The UI is not very friendly for security guys. Also the search query language is complicated to work with. While searching data for long durations, Qradar becomes irresponsive. Difficult to understand how event buffer works; hence often observe event drops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM QRadar SIEM solving and how is that benefiting you?

The SIEM solutions help gather logs from various tools used across the organization and perform correlation on them to check for any abnormal or malicious behavior. They also alert analysts to avoid any significant compromise or breach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
