Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while. As for the main differences between Graylog Security and other vendors, some users might prefer cloud-based platforms over on-premises solutions. It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.

Has faced limitations in AI capabilities and pricing flexibility
Pricing-wise, Wazuh stands out, along with deployment flexibility and its documentation which is extremely good in comparison to Forti. The community support is also incredible. They have helped quite a bit because previously, we had a separate tool and management dashboard to do our compliance. With Wazuh, we receive that information without having to do anything extra. We just set up the SIEM and all of that information was automatically populated. The dashboards are very easy to understand and very quick with no lag or delay. I have experienced delays on Forti's dashboards, but not with Wazuh. Wazuh is quite good. In comparison to Forti, they are quite similar. They are very good at detection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution to collect logs."
"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"It's stable."
"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."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"I would definitely recommend Wazuh to those who want a SIEM tool as a central logging system and for log management."
"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."
"I would recommend Wazuh to others."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"The biggest part that's missing is threat intelligence. It isn't inbuilt, and if a sudden incident occurs, we don't get that feedback inside the SIEM tool. That's a big gap, I see. It would be better if we could get the threat intelligence feeds integrated with the SIEM tools. That would help us push value solutions to the clients in a big way."
"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."
"Wazuh has a drawback with regard to Unix systems. The solution does not allow us to do real-time monitoring for Unix systems. If usage increases, it would be a heavy fall on the other SIEM solutions or event monitoring solutions."
"The technical support can be improved. Wazuh has some bugs that need to be fixed."
"The implementation is very complex."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud. They need better cloud integration."
"It would be better if they had a vulnerability assessment plug-in like the one AlienVault has."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
"Wazuh is a cheaply priced product."
"We use the free version of Wazuh."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
