We performed a comparison between IBM Security QRadar and ManageEngine Log360 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 pre-canned rules and reports in this product are a huge plus."
"The most valuable feature currently is security behaviors and the pdf files."
"I really like the feature we have with the logs, that if there are any credit card numbers being used, like a PII, you can just use rejects and you can mask it. This is a really good feature in QRadar."
"We've found the technical support to be very good."
"IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics's most important feature is its ease of use."
"The product provides a complete platform for ingesting the log, doing the correlations and handling the runtime."
"Due to the skills shortage, we are able to use it from the standpoint of bringing in a lower level employee or a person who may not have security knowledge."
"I have found its network traffic log, network bit log, and QBI most valuable."
"It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"The most valuable features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"It would be good if the program allowed certain profiles to only see certain customer information."
"I think QRadar is very complex. It's a distributed system and IBM QRadar has an all-in-one solution which is not like that distributed solution but it's a good product. IBM needs to consider the user interface because if we compare it with AlienVault, the AlienVault user interface is fantastic but the IBM QRadar user interface is very complex. They should focus on how to make it easier for the client."
"The only challenge is that IBM has been a closed enterprise. It should be more open to integrating with other providers at an enterprise level. We're a bank and the core banking system integration is not way straightforward and there is no integration between IBM and these products. If IBM could open up and provide a way of integrating it seamlessly, without charging more for it, that would make a big difference."
"The solution is clunky."
"QRadar needs to be improved on the storage side, particularly when the disc exceeded the maximum threshold."
"The implementation of the solution's technology needs to be simplified."
"The initial setup was complex, and it took six months."
"The quality of technical support depends on the IBM support person. Sometimes, it's hard to get the right person on the other side. A ticket coordinator could be the key to better quality delivery."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
