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 scalability is awesome, because QRadar includes other solutions in the same console."
"It has a logical, user-friendly GUI."
"The UBA feature is the most valuable because you can see everything about users' activities."
"QRadar, Splunk, and ArcSight are SIEM solutions with built-in AI/ML features. They can do the complete investigation and alert the admin about what is happening. They can also do the root cause analysis. There are many other features that come with QRadar. It has a more granular log, so you can integrate with various non-IT as well as IT-based components. You can get unstructured data to the SIEM data, and you can identify more what is happening in the network or what is happening in the central head office. You can also identify what is happening between your remote offices. You can also use it to identify what the users in the field are doing on their devices and how things are moving. From the integration point of view, it is very centric. It gives complete control centrally. If a user is not connected to the system, whenever he comes online, we can see the policy updates over the Internet, and we can ensure that the data that is supposed to be protected is protected."
"Vulnerability detection is the most valuable feature. It's the tool that finds the threats."
"The feature that I find the most useful is that IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics is free of charge. It's a fully free product that can be installed on top of IBM QRadar SIEM."
"I have found its network traffic log, network bit log, and QBI most valuable."
"The most valuable thing about QRadar is that you have a single window into your network, SIEM, network flows, and risk management of your assets. If you use Splunk, for instance, then you still need a full packet capture solution, whereas the full packet capture solution is integrated within QRadar. Its application ecosystem makes it very powerful in terms of doing analysis."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"The dashboard and reports are not user-friendly or efficient so are of little help with threat hunting activity."
"The product needs to improve its GUI."
"I would like to see a better GUI."
"The solution is highly used here in Pakistan and in many sectors, they could improve it by having more SIEM connectors."
"The advanced planning management (APM) features should be included."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"The tool is very complicated. One place for improvement would be to have a more user-friendly interface. Having better support in Spanish would be cool."
"IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics could improve machine learning use cases because they are limited and most of the use cases are rule-based. They should develop more use cases, such as in Securonix or Exabeam because they will detect a threat. Using machine learning is mainly on the correlation rules, but if you think about Exabeam or Securonix, they detect using machine learning or machine learning-based algorithms."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
