Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."
"The MITRE ATT&CK correlation is most valuable."
"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"I find the PCI DSS feature the most valuable, along with the feature that monitors the compliance of Windows and the CIS benchmarks on other devices like Unix or Linux systems."
"I like the cloud-native infrastructure and that it's free. We didn't have to pay anything, and it has the capabilities of many premium solutions in the market. We could integrate all of our services and infrastructure in the cloud with Wazuh. From an integration point of view, Wazuh is pretty good. I had a good experience with this platform."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
 

Cons

"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."

"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."

"Wazuh currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"I want more support for regional compliance standards to serve my ANZ region customers better."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."

"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
