More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Pros →
"It does good correlation for events. It does good general analysis, and it has good apps as well."
"QRadar has somewhat of a new structure recently from last gen. They have moved from the standard UI based infrastructure."
"It is a pretty solid product for the type that it is representing. It is a CM solution as compared to Splunk or ArcSight from HP. It is also user friendly. It comes with some internal AI as well, in which it automatically maps multiple lots from unrelated devices and makes a smart decision to link them back and create an offense based on that. It is a smart tool."
"The threat hunting capabilities in general are great."
"The features that I have found most valuable in QRadar are its data enrichment, use case creations, and adding references - those kinds of features are very good. Also QRadar's event filtration and device integration are perfect."
"I have used IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics in a Cloud Pak on Amazon, and there it runs on top of it and is easy to assess. Additionally, I have installed processes and characters."
"The product provides a complete platform for ingesting the log, doing the correlations and handling the runtime."
"The pre-canned rules and reports in this product are a huge plus."
"The process of logging analytics can be improved"
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"It could be even more automated."
"It could be more stable."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Cons →
"It is very difficult to activate all of the network equipment, and it would help if it were made easier."
"I have noticed a few things while working on this. After the restart of the server, sometimes, the services misbehave, and you need to manually start or restart the service. I have seen that specifically with the Tomcat service. Sometimes, when you click on log sources, instead of opening the log source extension, it redirects you over the internet."
"The user interface is a bit clunky, a bit hard to find what you need."
"Integration could be better. They should make it easy to integrate with other solutions."
"Whenever we are upgrading or installing any type of patch, at that time we have some delays."
"The dashboard and reports are not user-friendly or efficient so are of little help with threat hunting activity."
"The technical support can be improved a little bit, and the price could be cheaper."
"I would suggest QRadar release any documentation or give an online demo, like videos on YouTube. It would increase publicity and public appeal."
