Is easy to integrate and doesn't require maintenance
One major drawback we are facing is in the area of IBM Security QRadar integration with flat file databases. IBM Security QRadar does not support flat file database integration. We are currently facing an issue with respect to the database, which you normally call a NoSQL database. There is no direct integration mechanism available with IBM Security QRadar. We have to approach IBM and generate a ticket so that they can develop a custom method for the integration. In database integration, we are facing issues with IBM Security QRadar. The solution does not support the integration of flat file databases. Certain organizations have flat file databases. IBM does not support direct integration with some databases. We had to create a plug, and we requested IBM to develop a parser, but it is taking IBM a couple of months to develop it. I think a flat-file database should be supported directly instead of developing a parser plugin. There should be a more refined threat intelligence platform, and cross-integration should be possible with locally available threat intelligence platforms.

Great at managing cyber incidents; the technical support could be improved
We have the standard use cases for this product including monitoring of any kind. I'm the company CEO and we are partners with LogRhythm.  The capability of pinpointing specific cyber incidents is a valuable feature for us. It's very good in correlation and it can pinpoint exactly what happened in…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It protect us from multiple authentication values, unauthorized access and antivirus threats."
"It integrates very easily with other solutions. The solution is flexible. We can add anything to it, as it is a good companion to other tools."
"Blocks of predefined conditions can be used to configure detection rules without having to write complicated script."
"Improved our organization's TCO."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to rectify a situation involving any anomalies expeditiously."
"This is a good tool to have because it gives you the ability to track what is currently happening in your environment."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its artificial intelligence component, Watson. Its contribution is pretty good from a machine-learning artificial intelligence perspective. This compliments the orchestration automation component, as well."
"It's built around Red Hat Linux, which is highly robust."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
 

Cons

"There is one problem with QRadar in regards to the add-on apps. The apps can be frustrating. For example, when I add a big app like one of the add-ons for resiliency, add-on applications for QRadar, these applications require different hardware to implement and to deploy. The resiliency connector because there's a considerable amount of data scanning, operates for these apps correctly."
"We need more features in order to create rules to detect or to meet some requirements for other areas, for example, catching the event from other authentication tools."
"They should provide more manual examples online so that I can learn it myself."
"The solution should include remote action capabilities."
"GUI needs to be improved."
"Needs better visualization options beyond the time series charts and a few other options that they have."
"The AQL queries could be better."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like for them to lower the price."
"The license is not subscription-based."
"I think that the price is fair, but we can always say that the price could be cheaper."
"They can give us some scalability and flexibility on pricing. If its pricing can be reduced, it would help a lot of customers in bringing in a new SIEM environment and grow business in the market. If I start a license today and take around 10,000 EPS, and after a month, there is an increase in the number of clients on my platform, I can increase the number of licenses. I can add 5,000 EPS on a yearly basis."
"The solution is priced fairly, there is a license for the solution, and we pay annually."
"The price of this solution is a little high."
"The product is expensive. We have purchased the perpetual license, but we pay for the support."
"QRadar is quite expensive. It wouldn't be worth it for a small business..."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
