Md. Shahriar Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time incident detection and user-friendly dashboard benefit daily operations
There are many types of AI, and this AI is very limited in SQL and features. There may be potential for improvement. So far, it seems very limited. It shows some good features in the correlation part, but I think there is room for improvement. For instance, when creating rules, it can suggest more rules, reducing the effort needed. If AI-related support can suggest rules and integrate with existing security devices like MD, IPS, this SIM can create more relevant rules. Sometimes logs I receive don't mean anything, and I need technical stakeholders to share or forward logs, but these are sometimes inadequate. Keywords can help identify insufficient logs. I often lack time to verify logs. Sharing false positive results could be reduced to help my team.
Ayaz Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Works well for threat detection and security
Improvements needed in Logsign SIEM are providing specific security alerts that can be filtered and configured more effectively. There should be a focus on delivering alerts tailored to specific needs rather than overwhelming users with numerous alerts. Additionally, incorporating more mature data about threats is necessary for better threat detection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Vulnerability detection is the most valuable feature. It's the tool that finds the threats."
"We have the abilities to monitor each instance which originates on the process along with the performance of each department."
"The best part of this solution is having a third-party SOC."
"Improved our organization's TCO."
"There are other third-party plugins that we can use."
"The most valuable features are log monitoring, easy-to-fix issues, and problem-solving."
"It showed us where weaknesses were in our environment, so we could actively target those patches first."
"It has very rich functionality."
"The most valuable features of Logsign SIEM are its cloud capabilities, alerting functionality, integration with Elastic Search, and configuration options."
"It has full automation and automated SIEM responses."
"Logsign provides sample logs within the product, allowing users to see how logs will appear before integration, which is a valuable feature for testing and understanding log formats."
 

Cons

"QVM is another instance where they need to revise the vulnerability scoring and the proper remediation details."
"The implementation of the solution's technology needs to be simplified."
"We would like to see better instrumentation for debugging changes in the log flow."
"I think QRadar is very complex. It's a distributed system and IBM QRadar has an all-in-one solution which is not like that distributed solution but it's a good product. IBM needs to consider the user interface because if we compare it with AlienVault, the AlienVault user interface is fantastic but the IBM QRadar user interface is very complex. They should focus on how to make it easier for the client."
"We sometimes experience downtime, but it depends on the version. There is some variability."
"Technical support could be improved by a bit."
"There are many types of AI, and this AI is very limited in SQL and features. There may be potential for improvement."
"The API integration for AD is a problem when it comes to vulnerability management. If you want to incorporate multiple factor authentication it becomes a problem with the AD. It doesn't integrate well. That needs to be improved."
"AI and machine learning need to be developed. If they develop those features, I think everything will be fine."
"Improvements needed in Logsign SIEM are providing specific security alerts that can be filtered and configured more effectively."
"I hope they address the pricing model for Logsign Next-Gen SIEM, especially regarding regional variations. The pricing should not differ based on the country of operation as it can lead to dissatisfaction among customers. A fixed pricing structure would be more favorable for us. I would also suggest enhancing the GUI interface and adding features similar to xFi Exchange from IBM Pure. This would streamline operations and save time for analysts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics is an application framework and you can install many applications without any additional costs."
"The pricing is higher but cheaper than others and there are no additional costs."
"When compared with other SIM solutions, QRadar is considerably less expensive."
"QRadar is quite expensive. It wouldn't be worth it for a small business..."
"The tool's on-premise version is expensive. However, it is cheaper than Splunk. The hybrid model offers shared instances for customers, which is not expensive. Customers with a limited budget can opt for it. You can get premium support with licenses. However, if you need customized integration, you need to buy it."
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the tool."
"It would be great if this product were cheaper."
"The product is expensive. We have purchased the perpetual license, but we pay for the support."
"Compared to other SIEMs, it has low pricing."
