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."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"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."
"Some of the strengths of Wazuh that stand out for us include its scalability when deployed on Azure, its open-source nature, which allows for customization based on our needs, and its compatibility with various security solutions like threat intelligence platforms."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."
"Wazuh's logging features integrate seamlessly with AWS cloud-native services. There are also Wazuh agent configurations for different use cases, like vulnerability scanning, host-based intrusion detection, and file integrity monitoring."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"Wazuh is not easily scalable. You have to consider the sources of events and maybe the amount of traffic."
"When I face a challenge, I prefer not to spend too much time on it and may move to another solution that will give us the results."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"However, in the long term, if you want to build a SOC center on Wazuh, I do not recommend it because it's not stable."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"There's not much I like about Wazuh. Other products I've used were a lot more functional and user friendly."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
"Wazuh has a community edition, and I was using that. It's free and open source."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool, which means it is freely available for use."
"It is an open-source product."
"Wazuh is open-source, therefore it is free. You can purchase support for $1,000 a year."
