It makes special when we integrate different apps with like threat intel and other.
PROSIBM QRadar has very simple user-friendly interface. The deployment and configuration of solution is very easy. The devices integration we can do easily with available Device Support Module
CONSThe integration get difficult when there is no available parser.
Reason for choosing IBM Security QRadar
The Qraar SIEM having the capabilities as we were looking for. The feature of Qradar loke ease of navigation integration, real time monitoring is simplified.
Reasons for switching to IBM Security QRadar
We were facing multiple integration and threat intelligence issue with exiting SIEM solution. We wanted have SOAR in place and QRadar provide all capabilities.

QRadar Gets It Mostly Done At A Cost
I used QRadar for over 10 years, and have found great success in using it in a reactive sense when other staff bring up security or connectivity issues; the ability to quickly show normalized logs -- along with the raw log output for the skeptical staff out there -- is a real boon to quickly finding the root cause of an issue and moving on. The pricing and licensing schemes of the product have gotten more cumbersome since the purchase of the product by IBM, and their support channels exhibit the kind of mind-numbing bureaucracy you can expect out of such a large organization.
PROSWhen aggregating log information, the ability to quickly click and pivot around between data sources and filter results on-the-fly worked very well for any reactive kind of events. The software also did a relatively decent job on identifying data and log sources and classifying them correctly.
CONSThe software can be very involved and cumbersome; expect to dedicate significant staff time towards it in order to keep it operational and to continually tune the software for false positives. For example, at an organization with over 2,000 employees I had to dedicate almost a single employee to perform tasks within QRadar, and nothing else. Along with that, in order to be successful your support staff must be extremely familiar with networking and understanding the reasons why devices send the logs that they do. This is not the case where you can point-and-click a few things and have a system that alerts you properly when attacks are taking place.
Reason for choosing IBM Security QRadar
Ultimately, we were early adopters of the product and continued to utilize our initial licensing investment repeatedly when we upgraded our hardware. It was a known quantity that my staff had good familiarity in, although over the course of 10 years we were still not able to get the product to perform all of the features it said it could. This is partly due to my inability to get additional staff resources, as well as having a network layout that was decentralized and not relatively simple.

The Best Classical SIEM solution in the market
It's very convenient in terms of usage and visibility. We are mainly dealing with the Audits and Qradar is the main factor that we've passed the Audits.
PROSEasy to use. Learning curve is short. It's the same product compared to 10 years ago. It functions as it's expected. Expansion of the solution is easy. Reporting is inside the product and works well. Support is adequate.
CONSThere's no DataBroker or in short Kafka etc for filtering. AI and ML models is missing. Within the digital transformation and cloud migrations, it falls behind for the 3rd party integrations. I need to do the integration from the scratch for Saas or Paas services. Api integrations does not work well compared to similar solutions.
Reason for choosing IBM Security QRadar
Symantec SIM, HP Arcsight, Elastic, Splunk are the other vendors. Symantec is dropping the product SIM.HP Arcsight has a high maintenance cost and lacks in expansion.Elastics is super costly in terms of operation and getting Elastic support is cumbersome.Splunk is a high cost alternative as we have a very big EPS-Storage rates.
Reasons for switching to IBM Security QRadar
We have switched over the Symantec SIEM. It's dropped the product and solution.

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.
PROSIt 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.
CONSSometimes 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.

High-quality monitoring that protects us from threats.
We integrated IBM Security QRadar because it is a much more functional SIEM software than the others, the usability, security, analysis and incident resolution features are amazing, it also allows a quick response to threats found in the network. It is the perfect software to monitor our infrastructure and prevent threats from entering and damaging our system.
PROSI like that it has an easy to understand user interface, detection of threats is accurate and neutralizes them before they cause damage to our system, it is customizable and reduces the risk of damage to our system. It has detailed reports that help us understand what is happening and does not detect false positives.
CONSIt is a high quality SIEM product, it has big differences in functions and results compared to others and although it is not so easy to use the software for the first time, it has a simple interface that you can learn to use and customize in a short time.

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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSCompared 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.

Easy Way To Monitor Your Assets
In my opinion, IBM QRadar is a very good choice. Because I'm currently working with few customer locations where IBM QRadar established. So it was very easy to learn and get audit logs and do security auditing with this IBM QRadar SIEM.
PROSIBM QRadar is one of the best SIEM in the industry. Also, it's providing a wide range of inbuild functionalities that you can customize with your requirements. Furthermore, it has a very unique and simple GUI design.
CONSEven we bought the number one SIEM in the industry, we need to do the correlation part to fine-tune the SIEM to get the valuable output. So, the correlation was difficult with IBM QRadar.
