About IBM Security QRadar
IBM QRadar SIEM is a security information and event management platform for security analysts to accurately detect, prioritize, investigate and quickly respond to threats across cloud-based and on-premises environments. QRadar monitors the enterprise network using machine learning and AI algorithms, providing teams with intelligent insights which enable security analysts to formulate a response plan before attackers are able to damage systems, steal data, or disrupt business operations.
QRadar provides tools for advanced persistent threat detection which enable security analysts to collect data on low risk events in order to identify the high risk cyber attacks which are underway. By correlating current and historical security information, security teams are provided with a single view into the broader threat, as events related to the same threat are automatically chained together. QRadar helps security teams to formulate a response plan, speed up investigation times by leveraging cognitive intelligence, and begin activating automated incident response processes using the IBM Resilient integration.
For insider threat detection, QRadar provides advanced analytics and machine-learning algorithms to help identify high-risk activities, uncover compromised credentials, prioritize high-risk users, and alert security teams to serious incidents. Integrated identity governance solutions enable users to suspend high-risk users’ accounts to contain threats and block potential damage. Integration with cloud services including Amazon Web Service (AWS), Azure, Office 365, SalesForce, and traditional on-premises infrastructure help security analysts to better detect and respond to threats regardless of their location.
QRadar also includes tools for compliance and data privacy to ensure the protection of sensitive data for both brand reputation and compliance with regulations including GDPR. The platform alerts security teams to any suspicious activities that may signal an attempt of data theft, and continuously analyzes network traffic to detect new assets on the network. The optional vulnerability scanner feature prioritizes risks and vulnerabilities, while security features provide insights into sensitive databases and access entitlements across the network.

QRadar Gets It Mostly Done At A Cost
Reviewed on 1/9/2020

I used QRadar for over 10 years, and have found great success in using it in a reactive sense when other staff bring up security or connectivity issues; the ability to quickly show normalized logs -- along with the raw log output for the skeptical staff out there -- is a real boon to quickly finding the root cause of an issue and moving on. The pricing and licensing schemes of the product have gotten more cumbersome since the purchase of the product by IBM, and their support channels exhibit the kind of mind-numbing bureaucracy you can expect out of such a large organization.
Pros
When aggregating log information, the ability to quickly click and pivot around between data sources and filter results on-the-fly worked very well for any reactive kind of events. The software also did a relatively decent job on identifying data and log sources and classifying them correctly.
Cons
The software can be very involved and cumbersome; expect to dedicate significant staff time towards it in order to keep it operational and to continually tune the software for false positives. For example, at an organization with over 2,000 employees I had to dedicate almost a single employee to perform tasks within QRadar, and nothing else. Along with that, in order to be successful your support staff must be extremely familiar with networking and understanding the reasons why devices send the logs that they do. This is not the case where you can point-and-click a few things and have a system that alerts you properly when attacks are taking place.
Reasons for Switching to IBM Security QRadar
Ultimately, we were early adopters of the product and continued to utilize our initial licensing investment repeatedly when we upgraded our hardware. It was a known quantity that my staff had good familiarity in, although over the course of 10 years we were still not able to get the product to perform all of the features it said it could. This is partly due to my inability to get additional staff resources, as well as having a network layout that was decentralized and not relatively simple.- Industry: Banking

It's very convenient in terms of usage and visibility. We are mainly dealing with the Audits and Qradar is the main factor that we've passed the Audits.
Pros
Easy to use. Learning curve is short. It's the same product compared to 10 years ago. It functions as it's expected. Expansion of the solution is easy. Reporting is inside the product and works well. Support is adequate.
Cons
There's no DataBroker or in short Kafka etc for filtering. AI and ML models is missing. Within the digital transformation and cloud migrations, it falls behind for the 3rd party integrations. I need to do the integration from the scratch for Saas or Paas services. Api integrations does not work well compared to similar solutions.
