What do you dislike about IBM QRadar SIEM? - New UI (QRadar UI (v2.32.0)) have less features than the old one, we can't search for offenses as easily: we can't search for offenses that started in an specific date, only predefined timeranges (hour, 12h, 7d, 30d etc); - Pulse only allows to edit a dashboard if you're the one who created it. All admins should be allowed to edit them; - We can't create notes on an offense from the new UI, notes are really helpful; - Report building is terrible, clumsy and slow, and not a lot of customization; Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QRadar was our SIEM choice for it's leading position in the industry, it's easy to setup new Log Sources and it's documentation is a great resourse, although sometimes difficult to find (like API and AQL docs). We're using it to sell our SOC as a Service solution and all clients are satisfied with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
