Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Very good scalability."
"The solution is easy to handle."
"An engineer can live-monitor all the flow happening in real-time. This would help us a lot while investigating a case, and it would even help us with preventive actions."
"We've found the technical support to be very good."
"It showed us where weaknesses were in our environment, so we could actively target those patches first."
"It's a state-of-the-art product for security information and event management (SIEM)."
"In addition to using this solution for our security operations center, we are using it for our other customers."
"IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics's most important feature is its ease of use."
"The solution is easy to use, manage, and review all incidents."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Lacks recording features."
"The remote access features need improvement."
"The dashboards are all legacy and old."
"The quality of technical support depends on the IBM support person. Sometimes, it's hard to get the right person on the other side. A ticket coordinator could be the key to better quality delivery."
"The initial setup was complex, and it took six months."
"The Indian tech support is not helpful."
"Certain updates—especially when using Azure—don't apply directly. Our engineering team must invest additional effort to implement these updates. However, the tool's cloud-based version poses no issues. However, upgrading the product can sometimes be challenging for on-premises instances."
"I would like for Yara to be supported by all components."
"The quoting and the dashboard session could be improved. It should be more user-friendly."
"QVM is another instance where they need to revise the vulnerability scoring and the proper remediation details."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly priced. There are no additional costs involved, one only needs to pay the licensing cost."
"The price of this solution is a little high."
"An X-Force feed is free with QRadar."
"There is a license required for this solution. There are some limitations depending on what license you purchase."
"The price of this solution is a little bit expensive, so if it were cheaper then it would help."
"The solution is costly and the price differs depending on the vendor you use."
"I think my company pays for the license yearly."
"The solution comes with a high price tag, while some of the competitors provide identical functionality in their offerings at no extra cost."
"The price could be better. I bought a subscription for three years."
