We performed a comparison between IBM Security QRadar and IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) 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."I have found visibility very helpful for analytics."
"One of the most valuable features is its ability to integrate with other solutions. IBM has a lot of solutions and we have managed to make it work with IBM BigFix and MaaS360, and even Microsoft."
"IBM Security QRadar has significantly improved our incident response procedures."
"It's a state-of-the-art product for security information and event management (SIEM)."
"The stability is good."
"It provides many options for searching. I can see devices from different vendors, like Cisco, in one interface, which is good for me."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is it has very good data correlation."
"IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics's most important feature is its ease of use."
"The network data collection has been very flexible for us. It's been thorough in areas that were lacking. They have a team that I've worked with to add other pieces to it. So if it's missing something out of the box, they work with me to add it. I was able to collect that data. It's not perfect, but it's pretty thorough."
"SevOne’s data collection functionality is very good. From a collection point of view, we pull SNMP data, which is simple. It is easy to manipulate the pull in the estate. It is really simple compared to some of the other products that we have used. However, for deferred data, i.e., things that we import or don't pull directly, we tend to have a preplanned integration. So, its Universal Collector is really useful."
"It's given us the ability to create various real-time network performance reports and distribute them to any colleague who can access these reports immediately."
"SevOne has rich API capabilities, giving us the flexibility to control what we collect and customize the collection, creation, and manipulation of now metrics as necessary."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"The SMP and the xStats, which is for flat file integration, are both useful for integrating the various metrics that the device provides to monitor the performance of those systems."
"In 90% of the cases, new devices are plug-and-play, so when a new version comes out then SevOne has support for it out of the box."
"I like SevOne's network flow reporting."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"The usability of interfaces could be improved."
"The price of IBM Security QRadar is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In terms of additional features, a mobile app would be nice. Also, the reporting is definitely okay, but you have to make sure that everybody with different roles can understand it. There is room for improvement in the reporting."
"The initial setup requires that you have somebody with the proper skill set, and it would help if the configuration were easier."
"The solution should enhance its capabilities of UEBA and AI/ML tech modeling."
"It is not app based."
"Some of the cloud apps need improvement."
"I'm not really sure if this was the software's fault or a server issue, but a couple of years back the disks were failing on our SevOne physical server every month and the server would go down. The secondary server took over from the primary until the disk issue was resolved. That was annoying."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"NMS has several areas for improvement. It should be more user-friendly inside of NMS for some of the functionality in there. It's been getting better the last version or two, but the there have been bugs in there whenever I've gone to new versions."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"The user management features need to be improved. It would be nice if we had more granular control, or layers of control, out of the box."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
"When I started using it, I tried adding one of the BroadWorks application servers into SevOne... it created thousands and thousands of objects from that one application server and we immediately ran out of license... It would help, when new objects are discovered, if there were a way to categorize those objects and to pick the part of the object you need..."
"We need to be thinking about streaming telemetry protocols. They already have the port for enhanced visualization, which they already have through Data Insight."
