We performed a comparison between IBM Security QRadar and SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog 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."Senses, tracks, and links significant incidents and threats."
"The best part of this solution is having a third-party SOC."
"We have worked with other solutions, such as LogRhythm and Splunk. Compared to others, IBM QRadar has the best price-performance ratio so that you are able to reserve minimum costs. It starts settling in fast and gets the first results very quickly. It is also very scalable."
"IBM Security QRadar has significantly improved our incident response procedures."
"The most valuable features would have to be the products' ability to customize vulnerability management settings."
"The most valuable features are all the implementations, the plug-ins, and the User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"The QNI feature is the one I am very interested in, and I have also been interested in Watson. From the log analysis and the security perspective, we are able to dive deep into any of the logs and anomalies."
"The threat hunting capabilities in general are great."
"We are very happy with the stability of the solution."
"Simplicity is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerting based on the security logs."
"The best thing about Kiwi Syslog is that it filters logs into different levels."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server is its performance and management. Additionally, the solution integrates well."
"IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics could improve machine learning use cases because they are limited and most of the use cases are rule-based. They should develop more use cases, such as in Securonix or Exabeam because they will detect a threat. Using machine learning is mainly on the correlation rules, but if you think about Exabeam or Securonix, they detect using machine learning or machine learning-based algorithms."
"Technical support could be improved by a bit."
"IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics is good, but I think the functionality should be much more integrated. You should have easy access to the artifacts if you are doing a particular investigation. It's good, but other team solutions like LogRhythm are actually merging the functionality. So, I think that is something IBM can work on."
"It doesn't have a SOAR system by default. You need to purchase it additionally, which is the main problem with QRadar."
"I would like for Yara to be supported by all components."
"There should be an extension where we can get the reports. This could be an extension to the dashboard with the Guardian or another product with limited technology, for example IPS. Now, we only have IBM. Basically, it needs more and more integration models."
"The dashboards are all legacy and old."
"The only problem is that if you have too many events that occur, then the storage capacity becomes a problem. We would need to increase the storage capacity."
"SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server could improve by reducing the price."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly and customizable dashboard."
"I would like to have email notifications for emergency logs."
"Technical support could definitely be better."
"I would like to see better search functions and better filters in the next release."
