Evaluating robust file monitoring with insights for community support improvements
Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs. These aspects are vital as they provide alerts for changes and facilitate the monitoring of compliance. The platform is also relatively easy to set up and operate. Reports are straightforward to extract and prove useful for compliance requirements.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The solution is easy to use."
"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"I like Wazuh because it is a lot like ELK, which I was already comfortable with, so I didn't have to learn from scratch."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"We use it to find any aberration in our endpoint devices. For example, if someone installs a game on their company laptop, Wazuh will detect it and inform us of the unauthorized software or unintended use of the devices provided by the company."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."

"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
"The technical support can be improved. Wazuh has some bugs that need to be fixed. It would be good if we can have automation with respect to incidence responses."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"An issue I noticed is with tag values in certain rules not functioning properly."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
