Hi, in my opinion, because it is still the best at giving you visibility of what's happening in your IT infrastructure, and at detecting threats.
Visibility and detection may seem simple tasks. but actually, they require a lot of capabilities in understanding, integrating, logging, and alarms from a huge multitude of devices. Such tasks go under the line of log ingestion, normalization, etc., and that is far from easy. QRadar has done a lot of work in that direction.
Another aspect is event correlation. And here, either you write the correlation rules yourself, spending $$$$ of professional services, and by the way, it'll take forever to test, implement and maintain up to date, or your access to a very long list of preset correlation rules, that are already available and waiting to be activated.
Finally, visibility and threat detection is just the beginning of a journey pointed at becoming aware of what's happening in your IT and taking relevant and effective action. There are several other technologies that have to be used to minimize exposure, and contain, and remediate relations to an attack. I believe IBM has a few of those, that can be integrated. But whichever you use at the end of this journey, if the original feed is not correct, not relevant, or not complete, you missed your goal in the first place.
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...
I´m not sure about this affirmation. There are a lot of other tools used.

My 5 cents :)
