Dislike

It is not easy to use, especially to those new to the platform. The interface feels dated and unintuitive and many tasks require manual effort that could benefit from better automation

    Slow Response Times and Cloud Limitations Affect IBM Qradar Investigation Workflow

    4.0
    Mar 30, 2026
    IBM Qradar has exceptional capabilities when it comes to SIEM solutions. I personally have been using IBM Qradar right from the time I joined my organization. It is easy to navigate, is extremely user friendly and the interface provided is a ready to use interface even for beginners kick starting their careers in SOC and cybersecurity. Although its user friendly nature and ease of navigation is commendable, its response time and log retrieving is something where it lags a lot. Slow processing of selected filters and I/O error while loading of the selected search filters, is some of the things which really take a lot of time while investigating or monitoring of offenses and security events
