IBM Security QRadar and ManageEngine Log360 both operate in the security information and event management (SIEM) category. IBM Security QRadar tends to have the upper hand due to its comprehensive features and integration capabilities, although ManageEngine Log360 offers a cost-effective alternative.
Features: IBM Security QRadar provides robust information extraction from raw logs, scalability, and automatic log source identification. It also integrates security features such as SIEM, vulnerability scanning, and threat intelligence. ManageEngine Log360 offers a modular architecture with user behavior analytics and compliance reporting on a unified dashboard, making it scalable with security maturity.
Room for Improvement: IBM Security QRadar needs to enhance incident management, graphing capabilities, and report templates, as well as improve API integration, upgrades, and support speed. ManageEngine Log360 could improve its cloud integration, automate threat response, and reduce false positives, along with expanding platform integrations and reporting features.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: IBM Security QRadar is versatile with deployment options across on-premises, public cloud, and hybrid models, backed by technical support, although support speed varies. ManageEngine Log360 is predominantly deployed on-premises, with technical support valued for responsiveness and issue resolution.
Pricing and ROI: IBM Security QRadar is perceived as expensive but justifies its cost with extensive features and offers flexible licensing, albeit with a higher upfront cost for small enterprises. ManageEngine Log360 features more affordable, subscription-based pricing appealing for cost-effectiveness, though some added features incur extra costs. Both offer strong ROI, with QRadar praised for data output value and Log360 for budget-aligned projects.
With SOAR, the workflow takes one minute or less to complete the analysis.
AWS gives the chance to implement a solution out of the box with use cases that are already in IBM Security QRadar.
Investing this amount was very much worth it for my organization.
If unauthorized personnel attempt to add logs, the monitoring informs the administrator, enabling them to act promptly, leading to savings in both time and money for the company.
They assist with advanced issues, such as hardware or other problems, that are not part of standard operations.
Support needs to understand the issue first, then escalate it to the engineering team.
The support is really good; for instance, if a critical ticket is submitted, you will get paged right away as it gets logged, and their analyst will look into it, letting you know as soon as possible so you can work on it.
The solutions they provide are valuable.
For EPS license, if you increase or exceed the EPS license, you cannot receive events.
The technical support from ManageEngine is very good.
I think QRadar is stable and currently satisfies my needs.
The product has been stable so far.
We receive logs from different types of devices and need a way to correlate them effectively.
If AI-related support can suggest rules and integrate with existing security devices like MD, IPS, this SIM can create more relevant rules.
IBM Security QRadar does not support Canvas, so we had to create custom scripts and workarounds to pull logs from Canvas.
Log360 currently cannot gather information from Intune logs or cloud-integrated systems.
Splunk is more expensive than IBM Security QRadar.
It was costly mainly because of the value you can get right now compared to other solutions.
It depends on how much you want to spend.
The price is suitable from a perspective of different pricing options.
Recently, I faced an incident, a cyber incident, and it was detected in real time.
IBM Security QRadar gives the opportunity to improve the time to market of the releases with a great evaluation of cybersecurity breaches.
IBM is seeking information about IBM QRadar because a part of QRadar, especially in the cloud, has been sold to Palo Alto.
All mandatory regulatory compliance reports are available with the integrated system, and companies can easily customize reports without coding to meet their policy or reporting requirements.

IBM Security QRadar (recently acquired by Palo Alto Networks) is a security and analytics platform designed to defend against threats and scale security operations. This is done through integrated visibility, investigation, detection, and response. QRadar empowers security groups with actionable insights into high-priority threats by providing visibility into enterprise security data. Through centralized visibility, security teams and analysts can determine their security stance, which areas pose a potential threat, and which areas are critical. This will help streamline workflows by eliminating the need to pivot between tools.
IBM Security QRadar is built to address a wide range of security issues and can be easily scaled with minimal customization effort required. As data is ingested, QRadar administers automated, real-time security intelligence to swiftly and precisely discover and prioritize threats. The platform will issue alerts with actionable, rich context into developing threats. Security teams and analysts can then rapidly respond to minimize the attackers' strike. The solution will provide a complete view of activity in both cloud-based and on-premise environments as a large amount of data is ingested throughout the enterprise. Additionally, QRadar’s anomaly detection intelligence enables security teams to identify any user behavior changes that could be indicators of potential threats.
IBM QRadar Log Manager
To better help organizations protect themselves against potential security threats, attacks, and breaches, IBM QRadar Log Manager gathers, analyzes, preserves, and reports on security log events using QRadar Sense Analytics. All operating systems and applications, servers, devices, and applications are converted into searchable and actionable intelligent data. QRadar Log Manager then helps organizations meet compliance reporting and monitoring requirements, which can be further upgraded to QRadar SIEM for a more superior level of threat protection.
Some of QRadar Log Manager’s key features include:
Reviews from Real Users
IBM Security QRadar is a solution of choice among users because it provides a complete solution for security teams by integrating network analysis, log management, user behavior analytics, threat intelligence, and AI-powered investigations into a single solution. Users particularly like having a single window into their network and its ability to be used for larger enterprises.
Simon T., a cyber security services operations manager at an aerospace/defense firm, notes, "The most valuable thing about QRadar is that you have a single window into your network, SIEM, network flows, and risk management of your assets. If you use Splunk, for instance, then you still need a full packet capture solution, whereas the full packet capture solution is integrated within QRadar. Its application ecosystem makes it very powerful in terms of doing analysis."
A management executive at a security firm says, "What we like about QRadar and the models that IBM has, is it can go from a small-to-medium enterprise to a larger organization, and it gives you the same value."
Log360 is your one-stop solution for all log management and network security challenges. It is an integrated solution that combines EventLog Analyzer and ADAudit Plus into a single console to help you manage your Active Directory auditing and network security easily.
