Re: Anyone using Q1 Labs QRadar SIEM?

We are very happy Q1 customers for over 2 years now.  As mentioned before their support is great.  We've also been very 
pleased with how they are continually pushing the product forward.  I can't speak to Tripwire as they were not in the 
market at the time we purchased.  Trigeo made our short list, but was more interested in providing a "custom" solution 
to the point that we couldn't get enough information to give them consideration.  RSA was a finalist, but just a little 
pricey.  Q1 was chosen primarily due to their inclusion of flow technology.  I can't underscore enough how much that 
has helped, especially if you can do some Qflow collectors at key network points.

Feel free to shoot me an email or call if you'd like to talk further.

Has anybody used Q1 Labs QRadar SIEM solution?  I'm wondering how it compares to Trigeo, Tripwire, RSA, etc..  Thanks!
