The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Euna Solutions the suite is assembled from six or more separate acquisitions and integration between modules is still being completed, so a buyer purchasing two modules should ask precisely what data passes between them today rather than on the roadmap.; IBM QRadar iBM sold the QRadar SaaS business to Palo Alto Networks in 2024 and those customers are being moved to Cortex XSIAM, so anyone buying today is choosing an on-premises product whose vendor has publicly moved the cloud future to a competitor, and the support horizon becomes a contract negotiation rather than an assumption.
  • They diverge on capability: Euna Solutions covers Euna Budget, IBM QRadar covers Offence model.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Euna Solutions

  • The suite is assembled from six or more separate acquisitions and integration between modules is still being completed, so a buyer purchasing two modules should ask precisely what data passes between them today rather than on the roadmap.
  • No pricing is published at any level and terms are typically multi-year, so budgeting the true cost requires obtaining peer jurisdiction contracts, which is possible but slow.
  • Individual modules face specialists with deeper functionality, so a jurisdiction buying only procurement or only budgeting may get less capability than from a single-product vendor at similar cost.
  • Ownership has changed twice in six years, from a SPAC to private equity, and further change is plausible, which creates roadmap uncertainty over the length of a typical multi-year public sector contract.
  • Grant management depth is oriented to United States federal and state programmes, which makes the product close to useless to public bodies outside that funding system.

IBM QRadar

  • IBM sold the QRadar SaaS business to Palo Alto Networks in 2024 and those customers are being moved to Cortex XSIAM, so anyone buying today is choosing an on-premises product whose vendor has publicly moved the cloud future to a competitor, and the support horizon becomes a contract negotiation rather than an assumption.
  • Licensing is by events per second and flows per minute, so every additional log source raises the cost directly and teams routinely exclude verbose sources such as DNS, proxy, endpoint and cloud audit logs to stay under the licence, which strips out exactly the data an investigation later needs.
  • It needs a dedicated operator: rule tuning, parser work and offence triage are continuous jobs, and an organisation that deploys QRadar without at least one named engineer accumulates thousands of unreviewed offences and a false sense of coverage.
  • A log source without a matching Device Support Module arrives unparsed, and writing a custom parser with regular expressions against an unfamiliar payload format is specialist work that can take days per source, which quietly determines which systems ever get monitored.
  • On-premises capacity is planned across consoles, processors, collectors and data nodes, so outgrowing the sizing means procuring and racking more appliances rather than changing a subscription tier, and growth becomes a purchasing cycle measured in months.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Euna Solutions: Is this the same company as GTY Technology?

Yes. GTY Technology rebranded to Euna Solutions in 2023. The individual products came from acquisitions including Bonfire, Questica, eCivis and CityBase.

IBM QRadar: Who owns QRadar now?

It is split. IBM sold the QRadar SaaS assets to Palo Alto Networks in a deal announced in May 2024 and closed that September, and those customers are being migrated to Cortex XSIAM. IBM retains and supports the on-premises product.

Euna Solutions: Which product was Bonfire?

Bonfire is now Euna Procurement. Questica became Euna Budget and eCivis became Euna Grants. Ask which underlying codebase a demo is showing.

IBM QRadar: Is QRadar being discontinued?

IBM has committed to continuing support for on-premises customers, including security updates, while offering migration assistance. The cloud product's future belongs to Palo Alto. If you are signing a multi-year term, get the support horizon written into the contract.

Euna Solutions: What does it cost?

Not published. Modules are quoted individually by jurisdiction size and users, usually on multi-year terms and often available through cooperative purchasing contracts.

IBM QRadar: How is it licensed?

By events per second for logs and flows per minute for network data, with the software or appliance sized to that rate. Add-on modules in the suite are licensed separately.

Euna Solutions: Do the modules actually share data?

Partially, and it varies by pair. Get the specific integration between the modules you are buying demonstrated on real data before signing.

IBM QRadar: What is an offence?

QRadar's term for a correlated case. Rules group related events and flows against a common indicator such as a host or user, so an analyst reviews one offence rather than the hundreds of events behind it.

IBM QRadar: Do I need a full-time engineer?

In practice yes for anything beyond a small deployment. Parser development, rule tuning and offence triage do not stop, and the most common failure mode is a well-installed QRadar that nobody has tuned since go-live.
