The Usage model for QRadar SIEM is based on Events per Second (EPS) and Flows per Minute (FPM). EPS is determined by the number of log events ingested per second, while FPM is determined by the network communications per minute. Licensing with this metric is available for hardware appliances, virtual appliances.

The Enterprise model for QRadar SIEM is based on the number of Managed Virtual Servers (MVS) used. MVS is determined based on the count of all physical, virtual and cloud servers in the environment. Licensing with this metric enables you to ingest network behavior and unlimited log events.

For on-premises offerings, we offer a choice of subscription or perpetual licensing models.

QRadar SIEM is available as both hardware and virtual appliances that can be deployed on premises. These options are great for organizations who want to have detailed control over their IT infrastructure.

“QRadar beats it in cost. Splunk starts off cheap, but as you expand (due to it's licensing model), it quickly becomes very expensive. It is the monster that keeps on feeding.”

“Cost and integrations played a crucial part in product finalization. QRadar was the choice after considering all these factors.”

“IBM QRadar is the best SIEM in class. We looked at Splunk, but you need a full-time person to manage the tool. When we last looked at Splunk it had an enormous overhead cost associated with it.”

“QRadar will lower the TCO and ROI of a security team's cost, due to the ability to perform most of the investigation and remediation recommendation.”
