Overview<br />
• Q1 Labs was the largest independent player in the SIEM space<br />
prior to its acquisition by IBM. Q1 Labs supplements its SIEM<br />
play with a broad suite of products to allow for comprehensive<br />
security management.<br />
Strengths<br />
• The broadest and most comprehensive set of internal reporting<br />
capabilities of any product in this test; integration to third-party<br />
reporting solutions is usually unnecessary.<br />
• Cleanly integrated set of hierarchical products allows<br />
enterprises to grow their security management capabilities in an<br />
additive, not rip-and-replace manner.<br />
Challenges<br />
• Q1 Labs is participating in neither UCF nor MITRE CEE efforts<br />
at this time, which may limit future compliance reporting or<br />
security system integration capabilities.<br />
