We performed a comparison between IBM Security QRadar and VMware Aria Operations for Logs 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 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 monitoring and dashboards are great."
"I think the QDI is very good."
"Customer service is very good and very helpful."
"In terms of the most valuable features, the log collections and log processing mechanisms are good. They have good dashboards."
"IBM Security QRadar has significantly improved our incident response procedures."
"It is a bit easier to use than other products, such as Splunk or ELK Elasticsearch."
"There is a single dashboard that gives us a complete overview of what is happening around the globe."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"I like the interface."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"The interface of the solution is good."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment."
"There is a shortage of skilled individuals with knowledge about the solution. There is training required."
"There are a lot of things they are working on and a lot of technologies that are not yet there. They should probably work out a better reserve with their ecosystem of business partners and create wider and more in-depth qualities, third-party tools, and add-ons. These things really give immediate business value. For instance, there are many limitations in using SAP, EBS, or Micro-Dynamics. A lot of things that are happening in those platforms could also be monitored and allowed from the cybersecurity risks perspective. IBM might be leaving this gap or empty space for business partners. Some larger organizations might already be doing this. It would be very nice if IBM can make some artificial intelligence part free of charge for all current QRadar users. This would be a big advantage as compared to other competitors. There are companies that are going in different directions. Of course, you can't do everything inside QRadar. In general, it might be very good for all players to provide more use cases, especially regarding data protection and leakage prevention. There are some who are already doing some kind of file integrity or gathering some more information from all possible technologies for building anything related to the user and data analysis, content analysis, and management regarding the data protection."
"The solution should enhance its capabilities of UEBA and AI/ML tech modeling."
"It would be good if the program allowed certain profiles to only see certain customer information."
"I don't look at only the features and benefits; I also look at the price. It is a bit expensive when compared with other solutions. It is expensive for specific deployment topologies, and the decision-makers go for alternatives like ArcSight. It should also have more AI features or capabilities for better threat intelligence. The more it uses machine learning, the better would be the dashboard, analytics, and other things."
"A lot of information that we receive for the devices is IP-based, but it would help if we could have a default dashboard in which we can add more details about the assets for which we are receiving the information. For example, if it is a Windows or Linux device, we only get the IP for that particular device. We don't really get the name and other details of that particular device. For that, you have to drill down into your own asset management system. It would be good to have a place where we can probably add this information so that we don't have to look into other tools."
"The playbook guide which specifies the rules for security use cases needs to be provided to support in case the organization needs help."
"The product is good, but one feature they should have is an Elasticsearch. Currently, in QRadar, there are no Elasticsearch criteria."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
