Featured Reviews

ManelAlvarez - PeerSpot reviewer
Protection improves through superior global visibility and robust cloud integration
CrowdStrike Observability is especially useful when using a multi-cloud environment. Although it is expensive, the protection level it provides justifies the price. For users on Google Cloud, I prefer using Google's GTI technology. Overall, I would rate CrowdStrike Observability as nine out of ten. I rate the overall solution as nine.
Ebenezer Okoh - PeerSpot reviewer
Innovative platform enables proactive threat hunting and endpoint monitoring
I have not seen Wazuh moving in the direction of AI-driven threat detection projects myself, but since the market is moving that way, I wouldn't be surprised if they implemented it soon. My plans to increase the usage of Wazuh or switch to another tool depend on what my boss decides. We don't refer to any community support specifically, as we rely on other platforms such as GitHub or Discord, depending on the application. I recommend that as more companies come on board with Wazuh, it will motivate those who contribute to it, but I am also cautious that as it gains attention, a large company might buy it and change its course of business. Overall, I rate Wazuh a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The price is worth it."
"The log aggregation and correlation of data are notable features that enhance our operations."
"The intelligent alerting feature is excellent and configured on our console, being highly effective as it detects real alerts and just warnings or real issues."
"I find the most effective feature of CrowdStrike Observability to be its cloud vision and attack surface vision, which enhance network traffic analysis."
"In the logs and the trajectory, it shows detailed information about where the source of infection comes from, how it travels, and how to reach there."
"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."
"CrowdStrike Observability offers strong predictive analytics capabilities, and the intelligent alerting system helps minimize noise and optimize IT resources effectively."
"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"The solution is easy to maintain."
"I recommend Wazuh to everyone and believe more platforms, not just SIEM and XDR capability platforms, should be open source, allowing people to leverage these tools for the greater good."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"It's stable."
"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
 

Cons

"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial."
"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial. Currently, there is a default ninety-day backup period."
"We had some difficulties at the beginning, but at this moment they are improving, so probably in some months I will give them a ten."
"Technical support received a rating of 4 out of 10."
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"The customer service is not satisfactory for me. The support is only available in English, and my users in LATAM regions such as Peru and Colombia require local language support, which is not currently provided."
"The pricing is very high and small companies cannot afford it. They should reduce the price because the backend infrastructure is the same."
"We had some difficulties at the beginning, but at this moment they are improving, so probably in some months I will give them a ten."
"Some features, like alerting, are complex with Wazuh."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"A more structured approach, perhaps with modular UI components, to facilitate easier integration and navigation within the Wazuh platform for custom integrations would be beneficial."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
"Log data analysis could be improved. My IT team has been looking for an alternative because they want better log data for malware detection. We are also doing more container implementation also, so we need better container security, log data analysis, auditing and compliance, malware detection, etc."
"I want more support for regional compliance standards to serve my ANZ region customers better."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"It is an open-source product."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"The current pricing is open source."
"Wazuh is open-source, but you must consider the total cost of ownership. It may be free to acquire, but you spend a lot of time and effort supporting the product and getting it to a point where it's useful."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
