Human-guided threat monitoring has delivered rapid, confident incident response and strong compliance
I believe Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved by increasing integrations with non-Microsoft solutions as this would broaden its appeal. A broader out-of-the-box solution for diverse environments including IoT, Mac OS, and Linux servers would be valuable. I would rate Huntress Managed SIEM an eight because a couple of things could be changed, such as having more integrations with non-Microsoft systems, improved customization on the dashboard, and enhanced reporting in the threat intelligence updates. Being unable to click on new niche variants of threats is another point I would mention, but overall an eight out of ten is a good score because I think it is a very well-priced solution for its capabilities and all the positives I have outlined. The eight rating is primarily influenced by those integration and customization points I mentioned, which are the main requests from customers.

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

"The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
"Huntress Managed SIEM's response time is far superior to any other vendor we have tested in terms of MDR."
"Huntress Managed SIEM has positively impacted my organization primarily by helping us help our customers achieve the compliance levels at which they are trying to achieve, and it also gives us additional information when we are reacting to security events that are presented from Huntress's SOC."
"Having real people reviewing the alerts compared to automated systems gives me confidence and peace of mind."
"If you want to secure your infrastructure and save a lot of time for your organization, you can use Huntress Managed SIEM."
"During the year I have been using it, I have seen improvements such as no alert fatigue, which is beneficial, and obviously the automated threat detection."
"Huntress Managed SIEM is designed to make powerful threat detection, response, and compliance support accessible without the complexities and costs of traditional SIEMs."
"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"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."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"It's stable."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, there is room for improvement in Huntress Managed SIEM, particularly in integration with third-party solutions."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"I would appreciate more features in the stack. I would like Huntress Managed SIEM to integrate with EDRs like SentinelOne to combine that level of intelligence and information into their stack so that they can leverage whatever protections the client has and gather that intelligence to help with the MDR side."
"The scalability for SMEs and MSPs is noteworthy for a few hundred endpoints, but it struggles with scalability when dealing with high logs, multi-site, multi-tenant setups, and large volumes of endpoints, which poses a challenge."
"They could include flexibility and customization capabilities by modifying for customers based on partner agreements."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud. They need better cloud integration."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"The implementation is very complex."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"Wazuh is not easily scalable. You have to consider the sources of events and maybe the amount of traffic."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"When I contacted customer care, they mentioned bundling options, that I found to be overall affordable."
"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."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
"The current pricing is open source."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
