Security Officer at JSC "Moldtelecom" S.A.
Log analysis has become clearer and faster but visualization and extensibility still need work
The problem was with the complexity and the cost to add extensions. We found this very expensive to buy another version with additional features. I think that Graylog Enterprise does not have customizable dashboards. I did not see them in Graylog Enterprise because most of the time we used the open source free version, which is limited. I think Graylog Enterprise should improve some things that they have in the paid version and perhaps provide users with a menu that gives examples of parsing logs and draws graphics so that people do not need to improve another system such as Grafana. This would be interesting. When it comes to functionalities, I found the log management in Graylog Enterprise acceptable. It is very simple to use and to collect logs. It has support for different protocols and different ports, and the sidecar is easy to use. However, in visualization, I think it needs to be much better.

File integrity monitoring has strengthened our data protection and supports compliance needs
I expected one thing from the dashboard in Wazuh. In ManageEngine, when you use ManageEngine, you can assign a unique ID to all employees. Then with the unique ID, if you search any unique ID in the dashboard itself, you can get the unique ID everywhere, including where the laptop has been logged in, when the logout happened, and what actions have been done for that unique ID. I expected the same in Wazuh, but whenever we want to check any monitoring activities for a specific person, we need to search for the endpoint and then get the endpoint details from our Active Directory or wherever we have the endpoint name stored in our resources, and then search for the endpoint to see the history for that specific endpoint only. This made a simple thing a bit complex. If we had a correlation of logs where I could just search one unique ID and then the unique ID pulls every system in a time-wise manner, that would be a great improvement I would suggest.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface."
"The product does all the things it must do very well."
"Graylog Enterprise positively impacts the organization by helping the team and analysts investigate incidents faster since logs from servers, endpoints, cloud, and firewalls are available in one place."
"Troubleshooting is straightforward with Graylog Enterprise."
"Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."
"I would consider myself Graylog2's number one fan or at least a big advocate of the utility of this product."
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"With Graylog Enterprise, monitoring improved by up to 80 percent because of having all the logs centralized."
"The solution is easy to maintain."
"The reporting and attractive dashboard are the most valuable features."
"It is a stable solution."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"My company implemented Wazuh because it was relatively inexpensive. They could quickly get their hands on it to check a box for some audit and compliance."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"The MITRE ATT&CK correlation is most valuable."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
 

Cons

"I hope to see improvements in Graylog for more interactivity, user-friendliness, and creating alerts. The initial setup is complex."
"The biggest problem is the collector application, as we wanted to avoid using Graylog Collector Sidecar due to its architecture."
"The problem was with the complexity and the cost to add extensions."
"The area in Graylog that needs to be improved or enhanced would be the integrations."
"Graylog Enterprise performs well overall; however, the UI could be improved because the SOC team creates multiple dashboards based on their use cases, and creating dashboards is complex."
"Graylog could improve the process of creating rules. We have to create them manually by doing parses and applying them. Other SIEM solutions have basic rules and you can create and get more events of interest."
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature.​"
"The support from the Graylog community is helpful, but they can do better."
"I want more support for regional compliance standards to serve my ANZ region customers better."
"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."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're using the Community edition."
"Consider Enterprise support if you have atypical needs or setup requirements.​"
"I am using a community edition. I have not looked at the enterprise offering from Graylog."
"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"There is an open source version and an enterprise version. I wouldn't recommend the enterprise version, but as an open source solution, it is solid and works really well."
"If you want something that works and do not have the money for Splunk or QRadar, take Graylog.​​"
"We are using the free version of the product. However, the paid version is expensive."
"It's open source and free. They have a paid version, but we never looked into that because we never needed the features of the paid version."
"Wazuh is free and 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."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Wazuh is open-source, therefore it is free. You can purchase support for $1,000 a year."
