Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Microsoft, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)."I have found its network traffic log, network bit log, and QBI most valuable."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is it has very good data correlation."
"No doubt about it, the solution is extremely stable."
"It has improved my efficiency."
"Providing real-time visibility for threat detection and prioritization - QRadar SIEM provides contextual and actionable surveillance across the entire IT infrastructure."
"In addition to using this solution for our security operations center, we are using it for our other customers."
"The threat protection network is the most valuable feature, because when you get an offense, you can actually trace it back to where it originated from, how it originated, and why."
"The tool helps with infrastructure, application, and network monitoring."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"The implementation process is very straightforward."
"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"Whenever we are upgrading or installing any type of patch, at that time we have some delays."
"They need to improve their threat intelligence feed and they need to improve their user behavior analytics modules."
"There is a lot of manual configuration required in order for the product to run smoothly, and I think that it could be made more automatic."
"The threat detection needs improvement, they have many false positives."
"Pricing model could be more cost-effective."
"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."
"IBM is going through some problems with its resources currently making its support response time slow."
"In a future release, the solution could provide malware analysis."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"The event correlation could be better."
