Reliable and Powerful SIEM Choice
We chose QRadar for our SOC system after comparing different options a few years back. It’s a strong SIEM with a flexible hybrid model that works both on-premise and in the cloud, easily one of the best out there. The only downside is the pricing, which is based on EPS and can be higher than some alternatives, but overall it’s a solid investment.
