Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
It's quite scalable. We have upgraded some solutions from 1000 APS up to 3500 APS to 5000 APS. It's a good solution, they have no scalability issues. The ability to add extensions is the most valuable feature. For example, extensions that provide valuable test ports. Providing real-time visibility for threat detection and prioritization - QRadar SIEM provides contextual and actionable surveillance across the entire IT infrastructure. It is very stable. We have not faced interruptions in the past four and a half years. It has improved comprehensive visibility for what is going on in the perimeters, and on the inside, as well. It is really helpful to us from the compliance point of view. The initial setup is not complex or difficult. QRadar has somewhat of a new structure recently from last gen. They have moved from the standard UI based infrastructure. | I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond. |
Cons | |
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. 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. AI is superb but need improvements. Technical support is good, but not great. The tech support is not that good. The Indian tech support is not helpful. It is not app based. The initial setup was complex, and it took six months. | It needs to have better reporting. It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
It is cheaper than ArcSight. The cost of this product is expensive. It is very expensive. A good approach would be to begin with an On Cloud subscription, then later on do a more exact sizing. Pricing and licensing are competitive. Their new licensing options allow logs to bypass the correlation engine for a flat rate, which is also appealing for log data that is compliance-driven for a small amount of money. Pricing (based on EPS) will be more accurate. An X-Force feed is free with QRadar. It is expensive. It is not a product that I can provide for SMBs. It is a program that I can only provide for really large enterprises. | Do a PoC. Make it detailed so it can help later. |
