"It provides many options for searching. I can see devices from different vendors, like Cisco, in one interface, which is good for me."
"The tool's most valuable feature is log source management. It enables us to connect to various log sources, including content, authentications, or other customized integrations. These integrations can be tailored for use with other platforms that don’t already have built-in IBM add-ons."
"The solution is relatively easy to use."
"An engineer can live-monitor all the flow happening in real-time. This would help us a lot while investigating a case, and it would even help us with preventive actions."
"The event collector, flow collector, PCAP and SOAR are valuable."
"The detection rate is good and the false positive rate is low."
"There are more than 120 extensions in QRadar, which are easy to install and configure. These can improve your analysis of events."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Splunk queries, which allow us to query the logs and analyze the attack vectors."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"The solution should include remote action capabilities."
"The tool is very complicated. One place for improvement would be to have a more user-friendly interface. Having better support in Spanish would be cool."
"IBM QRadar has outdated technology, and this is its area for improvement. When you try to implement an analytic expression, it's not updated. The solution doesn't support newer technologies, and it doesn't update regularly. For example, around the world, others implement new technologies, while IBM updates later than others."
"The solution lacks vendor support."
"There needs to be better integration with other applications."
"I would like to see some artificial intelligence and alternative solutions."
"Pricing model could be more cost-effective."
"In a future release, the solution could provide malware analysis."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
