Protect your environment from cyber threats Using Qradar

Best Siem. Good UI, very user-friendly. We can use both ariel query as well as GUI for working on logs or alerts.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

It is one of the most user friendly SIEM tool, I have worked with. UI is quite good and navigation is very easy. As being a part of SOC team, it is helpful in detecting, investigating and prioritizing threats/alerts. We can create use cases based on threat condition, which will trigger an alert in case of threat defined in the use case, which will make our threat monitoring easier. It helps in securing our assets, endpoints, network everything. We can create dashboards and download reports. We can create reference sets for any IOCs or any other data which will be helpful in usecase creations or finetuning. it can be integrated with soar solutions for our ease.

Cons:

Sometimes due to less EPS, we might face Event drops during heavy flow of data. Creating dashboards for any real time detection can be difficult. Sometimes API calls fails while working on SOAR for the automated usecases.

A Good SIEM for a SOC

QRadar has been acting as the go to SIEM tool in many SOC deployments due to its ease of deployment and the straightforward integrations being available out of the box. Threat and incident prioritisation allows the effective response to possible attacks compared to other SIEM platforms with ease of hunting for dormant and persistent threats.

Functionality

Pros:

The ease of deployment in the all-in-one VM appliance coupled with the simple log integrations are really helpful in the deployment of the platform, onboarding of log sources and to perform troubleshooting and development of custom parsers. Further, intuitive dashboards makes the administration and analysis more easier compared to other SIEM platforms.

Cons:

Compared to other SIEM solutions, QRadar would require the integration with a separate solution to achieve the FIM capabilities. Similar to above, getting logs from windows servers can be of a bit tricky. The solution has a number of features and capabilities and deployments in distributed architecture could be troublesome if the team is either new to product or have not got a comprehensive idea about the architecture and features.

Pros:

To collect Security logs at one place is one of most important and critical feature for any organization. Further we can have different use cases applied on the logs and we will be able to identify threats easily by applying expert analysis from the tool.

I think there is a gap in UI, it can be more improved and easy to use.
