I explored several alternatives like Symantec ERP, because it stood out as a notable vendor. Recently, I have been evaluating Palantir, but determining the necessary prerequisites for Palantir usage remains uncertain, particularly in terms of resource requirements.

There was no time. Just read several reports from Gartner, IT Central etc. I did try ManageEngine , but it was a product which was already in Test phase implemented by my predeccesor

Splunk and Oracle Audit Vault. We almost picked Oracle, because it pulls in the databases in a quick manner.

We compared the solution to QRadar.

We did not evaluate other options before choosing this solution. Some of the customers have their preference and will ask for something else, so that is what we will do for them.
