Economic Crisis Affects Security Spending Less Than Other IT Areas

"Security and vulnerability management (SVM) sales will remain robust because the vast majority of these solutions support regulatory and policy-compliance needs. Payment card industry (PCI) mandates security assessments of Web sites, and security information and event management (SIEM) is key to providing a consolidated protection profile to security analysts, managers, and auditors."

Economic Crisis Affects Security Spending Less Than Other IT Areas

The 451 Group

"Q1 Labs' customers say they like its simplicity . . . Q1 Labs' marketing and partnership strategy gets it in the door, but we also hear from customers that they like its features (the company's QRadar blends anomaly detection, application details, and ESIM) enough to select it after bake-offs against substantially more expensive products."

"We don't have the resources to have someone go through millions and millions of logs every day." Without [Q1 Labs'] QRadar, identifying the source of the problem "would take a fleet of guys going through the logs."

Campus Technology

"I would advise any university to have some type of product along the line of [Q1 Labs'] QRadar. There's no way that a security staff can keep up with the sheer volume of events and traffic. You need something that can cut down and actually allow you to see the highest magnitude offenses, rather than having to do the hit-or-miss, find-the-needle-in-a-haystack deal."

Network Computing

"QRadar's correlation language is one of the easiest to learn. Unlike the rule-building sets in products from ArcSight and Symantec, QRadar's scripting language is probably as close to English as you're going to get. It's also somewhat hierarchical and recyclable, letting you use what Q1 calls 'building blocks' to string logic sequences together. Although all the products required time to learn the correlation technologies, we were most comfortable using QRadar's methods."
