"The most valuable features are the versatility of this solution and the variety of things you can do with it."
"What I like the most about it is that you can very easily install and configure it. As compared to other SIEM solutions, for which you need to know and do a lot more to prepare your SIEM environment, QRadar is much simpler to install and configure. There are various options in the Admin console. In the Admin tab, you can design dashboards and view various graphs. It has a lot of attractive features, and you don't need to configure everything on your own."
"The most valuable features are the AI assistant, which is good at detecting known types of behavior."
"I think the QDI is very good."
"There are other third-party plugins that we can use."

"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."
"I'm not sure about the stability just yet. We've observed a few issues and we raised a supporting ticket for it."
"Right now, if you look at the compatibility, if you need to deploy QRadar in a physical appliance you have only two choices of server, their own or a Lenovo server. In today's world, you cannot keep something tied to such a big brand. Clients want to be able to use whatever type of server they want."
"It would be better if it were more stable and more secure. The price for maintenance could be better. It's too high. In the next release, I think they should focus on the price and the operation."
"With IBM Security QRadar, my company faced issues with the support we received for the product."
"The playbook guide which specifies the rules for security use cases needs to be provided to support in case the organization needs help."
"Technical support could definitely be better."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly and customizable dashboard."
"I would like to have email notifications for emergency logs."
"I would like to see better search functions and better filters in the next release."
"SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server could improve by reducing the price."
