IBM Security QRadar product overview

What is IBM Security QRadar?

IBM QRadar SIEM is a security information and event management platform for security analysts to accurately detect, prioritize, investigate and quickly respond to threats across cloud-based and on-premises environments. QRadar monitors the enterprise network using machine learning and AI algorithms, providing teams with intelligent insights which enable security analysts to formulate a response plan before attackers are able to damage systems, steal data, or disrupt business operations.

Key benefits of using IBM Security QRadar

  • Discover cyber attacks sooner in the attack cycle, view all relevant events in one place, and formulate an effective response plan to block and contain advanced attackers.

  • Detect activities such as anomalous access to data or suspicious movement of data which may indicate an attempt to corrupt or steal sensitive information.

  • QRadar enables security teams to detect, investigate and react to insider threats before attackers are able to damage systems, steal data, or disrupt business operations.

  • QRadar's network insights help users to analyze network traffic and locate critical data, monitor usage, and detect threats in real time.

  • Identify and group related events by correlating current and historical security information, and prioritize alerts to the most critical threats.

    Pros
    Support for collecting Logs from different devices is amazing. Storage capacity is excellent, logs can be easily stored for years.
    IBM QRadar is very good solution to assure integrity of logs.
    It was a good experience. Implementation was easy.
    Cons
    Very slow product built on older technology. Collecting logs from Windows is very painful and archaic.
    This is not the case where you can point-and-click a few things and have a system that alerts you properly when attacks are taking place.
    So, the correlation was difficult with IBM QRadar.

    Pros

    Security Innovation event management system is excellent as it has endless layers of security for a company's firewall

    Cons

    To be sincere, the only way this system can be flawed is when pass codes are compromised within

    A feasible solution for the detection of incidents, all our information is safe.

    Reviewed a month ago

    With IBM Security QRadar we reduce the risk of being vulnerable to a cyber attack, since the protection of this software is intuitive and prioritizes threats to be more effective in the security of our IT environment. It is a truly automatic process that guarantees the total protection of our data, has detailed reports and a very powerful response to cyber attacks.

    Pros

    It is a necessary software for all our business environment, since it guarantees that our information is safe, the dashboard is intuitive and understandable, the analyzes are effective so that threats do not enter and damage our information, I like the prioritization of threats, since neutralizes in order of importance, network forensics is very good, advanced searches are good, protection of our entire IT infrastructure is high, and we really like the trust that IBM Security QRadar places in us.

    Cons

    It has many features that somewhat limit the understanding of early adopters, it can be overwhelming the first time, but the quality of the results keeps our data safe and threats away.

    QRadar Gets It Mostly Done At A Cost

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    I used QRadar for over 10 years, and have found great success in using it in a reactive sense when other staff bring up security or connectivity issues; the ability to quickly show normalized logs -- along with the raw log output for the skeptical staff out there -- is a real boon to quickly finding the root cause of an issue and moving on. The pricing and licensing schemes of the product have gotten more cumbersome since the purchase of the product by IBM, and their support channels exhibit the kind of mind-numbing bureaucracy you can expect out of such a large organization.

    Pros

    When aggregating log information, the ability to quickly click and pivot around between data sources and filter results on-the-fly worked very well for any reactive kind of events. The software also did a relatively decent job on identifying data and log sources and classifying them correctly.

    Cons

    The software can be very involved and cumbersome; expect to dedicate significant staff time towards it in order to keep it operational and to continually tune the software for false positives. For example, at an organization with over 2,000 employees I had to dedicate almost a single employee to perform tasks within QRadar, and nothing else. Along with that, in order to be successful your support staff must be extremely familiar with networking and understanding the reasons why devices send the logs that they do. This is not the case where you can point-and-click a few things and have a system that alerts you properly when attacks are taking place.

    High-quality monitoring that protects us from threats.

    Reviewed 3 months ago

    We integrated IBM Security QRadar because it is a much more functional SIEM software than the others, the usability, security, analysis and incident resolution features are amazing, it also allows a quick response to threats found in the network. It is the perfect software to monitor our infrastructure and prevent threats from entering and damaging our system.

    Pros

    I like that it has an easy to understand user interface, detection of threats is accurate and neutralizes them before they cause damage to our system, it is customizable and reduces the risk of damage to our system. It has detailed reports that help us understand what is happening and does not detect false positives.

    Cons

    It is a high quality SIEM product, it has big differences in functions and results compared to others and although it is not so easy to use the software for the first time, it has a simple interface that you can learn to use and customize in a short time.
