We performed a comparison between Grafana Loki and IBM Security QRadar based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I appreciate the capability to process logs from microservices and seamlessly integrate them into Grafana."
"The tool can be used in multi-cluster environments."
"The log collection feature is good and the solution is easily understandable. v"
"We are using Grafana Loki as a database for real-time metrics."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is an open-source tool that is stable and flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana Loki is the dashboards which are really simple to create."
"The solution's stability has never been a problem. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The effectiveness of filters is pivotal for optimizing the search process and extracting the specific information we need from the extensive log data."
"This solution has excellent security analytics."
"Flexible and valuable product that is modular, so you can easily set up a roadmap for your clients."
"The most valuable features are the AI assistant, which is good at detecting known types of behavior."
"Most valuable features include the granularity of information."
"The initial setup of QRadar is not complex because we have done it before and we are used to the development. It is getting easier all the time."
"It has improved my efficiency."
"IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics's most important feature is its ease of use."
"The correlation and the parsing are important features, since it is very important for a SIEM to have a good scalability and performance."
"The solution's scalability depends on the team managing the Grafana instance."
"The Docker container partition feature needs improvement as they do not reuse the space and goes into a pending state."
"The correlation of requests is not simple in Grafana Loki and can be improved."
"In Grafana Loki, the creation of metrics is not so easy, making it an area that could be made easier."
"There is a need for some change in the alerting types of the product. In short, a few changes in the alert area are needed due to minor shortcomings."
"Enhancing speed could be a game-changer, and while it might vary depending on the application, it's a factor worth exploring."
"My main concern is the recommended production-grade setup. They suggest using tools like Tanka or Jsonnet. They should simplify the process to increase adoption."
"The solution has shortcomings regarding security monitoring-oriented features that need improvement."
"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."
"QRadar's performance has room for improvement because it cannot handle the volume. I need massive amounts of logs from various devices in our existing network architecture. IBM needs to improve QRadar's capacity to handle more logs."
"IMB should reduce the pricing, or reduce some of the features for a more economical solution for the customer."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"Their technical support is not good. We opened a lot of cases and from my experience, they are not complicated issues but it takes forever to get an answer."
"What needs to be improved in IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics is the user experience. It's not optimal. Some screens are a bit clunky. The solution needs to be more user-friendly."
"I would like for them to develop a detection management solution. It does not have a detecting management solution in it, you have to buy it as it is, on top of the extended solution."
"Integration could be better. They should make it easy to integrate with other solutions."
