We performed a comparison between IBM Security QRadar and Nagios Log Server 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."The best part of this solution is having a third-party SOC."
"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."
"Vulnerability data, network data and the like, are part of correlation and detection."
"It's a state-of-the-art product for security information and event management (SIEM)."
"This console gives you the entire view, which makes life easier and allows you to take precautionary measures."
"The pre-canned rules and reports in this product are a huge plus."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its artificial intelligence component, Watson. Its contribution is pretty good from a machine-learning artificial intelligence perspective. This compliments the orchestration automation component, as well."
"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."
"It provides an easy way to identify errors and spot issues, making troubleshooting more efficient."
"The product is scalable."
"The initial setup of Nagios Log Server was easy and straightforward."
"One of the most valuable features is the dashboard because the UI was effective and easy to use. The alert systems are good as well. We had no failovers and had high availability. We can search the queries fast as well in Nagios Log Server."
"A great feature of the solution involves its internal portal."
"Integration could be better. They should make it easy to integrate with other solutions."
"Dashboards and reports could provide better visualization of SIEM activity."
"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."
"Some UI enhancements would be nice, such as exporting custom event properties and the ability to export rules."
"It is not app based."
"There needs to be better integration with other applications."
"The advanced planning management (APM) features should be included."
"The biggest problem was built on top of the QRadar in the executive operations center network. The integration was not using the network security specialist properly, and all the incidents were inferior with QRadar. Its compatibility is not really good."
"The customization and dashboards have shortcomings and need to be improved to make the tool look more presentable."
"It would be beneficial for Nagios to incorporate a tool that goes beyond log management and includes features to monitor overall system health and assess the effectiveness of antivirus solutions."
"As we are talking about a product which is open to the public, the pricing makes it challenging for us to profit off of its marketing."
"The configurations during initial setup could be improved. If they could be agentless, as in the case of the Ansible product, it would be better. I would like to be able to analyze the network bandwidth."
"The support could be better."
