HarshBhardiya - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Have managed daily asset and alert monitoring effectively but have encountered limitations with manual processes and interface usability
It's still very manual and doesn't work on its own. It's still in an early stage and not on par where we can consider it a really successful detection system. The accuracy is not there. The UI could be better when compared to Sentinels where we can use flags and tagging. It could be much more user-friendly. IBM Security QRadar has all features and is fully competitive with other SIEM tools, but when it comes to user-friendliness, a new user takes time to get used to it. More intuitive, user-friendly interfaces and more helpful documentation would be beneficial. The query searching and data fetching could be faster. In large to very large organizations with around 5,000 or 6,000 assets or beyond, even with proper configurations and RAM and hardware backing up, the query is fairly slow.

Centralized console enables efficient incident management and threat intelligence integration
I am struggling to export all alerts, such as those from the past five to six months, at once. I would like to extract these alerts in Excel format in one go, but I have not found this feature yet. I raised a ticket to the OEM, but I have not received a solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The feature that I have found most valuable is how it monitors the real network. That is its leading security feature."
"Our primary use case for the solution is providing visibility for what occurs in our security system and IT assets."
"The solution is functional right out of the box and it's a pretty simple system with different kinds of solutions that address different types of problems."
"Almost every feature is useful."
"We have the abilities to monitor each instance which originates on the process along with the performance of each department."
"Overall, IBM QRadar is very good but no product is perfect."
"It provides many options for searching. I can see devices from different vendors, like Cisco, in one interface, which is good for me."
"Most of our clients have seen a return on investment because compared to other solutions it does not require a busload of people to operate it and it is reasonably priced."
"The features are such that MDR is a part of XDR, which includes different products."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Managed XDR is that it protects all of the layers."
"I appreciate the detection and response methodology used against virus and ransomware attacks."
"The tool has significantly improved threat detection and response times for my clients' organizations. The solution has performed exceptionally well, and my customers are pleased with both the performance of the system and the support they receive."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR has indeed enhanced our customers' threat detection capabilities. Many of our clients are utilizing it and have experienced positive outcomes. Overall, I would recommend it, especially considering the rising popularity of Trend Micro and its excellent product support."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR can be used to manage all the layers, such as server, access, cloud servers, and email layer, and it is used for overall endpoint security."
"The response time to any issues is very quick, providing a high level of client satisfaction."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Managed XDR is the console."
 

Cons

"I don't think this is the best solution on the market because it takes much longer than ArcSight, for example, which provides more flexibility and capability to create much more complex use cases."
"From a functionality point of view, there are issues sometimes."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."
"The weak signal detection with QRadar needs improvement. You can detect what you know, but what is unknown to the rule engine can't be detected."
"There is a lot of manual configuration required in order for the product to run smoothly, and I think that it could be made more automatic."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly product. At this stage, you need to use a lot of widgets to do your searches."
"I'd like them to improve the offense. When QRadar detects something, it creates what it calls offenses. So, it has a rudimentary ticketing system inside of it. This is the same interface that was there when I started using it 12 years ago. It just has not been improved. They do allow integration with IBM Resilient, but IBM Resilient is grotesquely expensive. The most effective integration that IBM offers today is with IBM Resilient, which is an instant response platform. It is a very good platform, but it is very expensive. They really should do something with the offense handling because it is very difficult to scale, and it has limitations. The maximum number of offenses that it can carry is 16K. After 16K, you have to flush your offenses out. So, it is all or nothing. You lose all your offenses up until that point in time, and you don't have any history within the offense list of older events. If you're dealing with multiple customers, this becomes problematic. That's why you need to use another product to do the actual ticketing. If you wanted the ticket existence, you would normally interface with ServiceNow, SolarWinds, or some other product like that."
"Technical support is good, but not great."
"There is a need for greater integration of non-Microsoft devices."
"I am struggling to export all alerts, such as those from the past five to six months, at once. I would like to extract these alerts in Excel format in one go, but I have not found this feature yet."
"Being cost-effective is crucial, allowing customers with lower budgets to access the services. Offering a range of services at various price points ensures that customers can find suitable options without being compelled to explore alternative products or vendors."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents."
"On the financial side, it is quite expensive."
"The product could benefit from some improvements in its interface and organization. Functionality-wise, it performs well, but there's room for enhancement in terms of user-friendliness. There are ample resources like documents and videos provided by most vendors to assist users, although reaching out for direct support might not always be straightforward."
"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents. This would allow us to explore the solution better and provide a better presentation to our customers. Addiontaally, there could be more automation features."
"On the financial side, it is quite expensive. If they could reduce the prices, it could attract more customers who are currently deterred by the cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use QRadar as a managed service and we pay licensing fees to the partner."
"The solution's pricing is based on the EPS model."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate the price a one, where one is an extremely expensive product, and ten is a cheap product."
"QRadar UBA's price is a little more than street price and could be reduced."
"It is costlier as compared to the other alternatives available in the market."
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the tool."
"You have a one-time payment, and you also can purchase it for one year as a subscription. We have it on-premise, and we have a permanent license for it. We have to pay for the support on a yearly basis. If you compare its cost with Sentinel for one year, QRadar would seem more expensive, but if you compare its cost over five or ten years, Azure Sentinel will be more expensive than QRadar. If you compare its cost with Sentinel for one year, QRadar would seem more expensive, but if you compare its cost over five or 10 years, Azure Sentinel can be more expensive than QRadar."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Trend Micro's solutions are considerably more expensive than competitors."
"There is a subscription needed to use Trend Micro Managed XDR. We are on an annual license."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The solution's pricing falls within a reasonable range—it's not the most expensive option out there, nor the cheapest."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
