Constant monitoring and analysis boosts network security
There is always room for improvement. I am not giving it a perfect score because I am sure there is something that could be enhanced.Having some sort of certification or training, along with more periodic webinars might be helpful. Having a larger support network would be beneficial. Nobody I know has heard of Lumu, so they are in the same space as Darktrace or CrowdStrike, but people give blank stares. As the community grows for Lumu then that will improve, but that is not really a criticism of Lumu, they simply have not been around that long.

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

"Most of it is automated, so I do not have to watch it to get alerts."
"Lumu protects against threats immediately and handles them in time."
"The automated response to incidents works effectively out of the box, and the number of interfaces and platforms it can work with is impressive."
"You can access external links, playbooks, MITRE Matrix, and a lot of information."
"It's been helpful for overall extended network visibility."
"The tool's support team helps partners resolve any problems with the product."
"The context provided by the tool is very complete, it includes the miter matrix, playbooks, links, hashes, and much more."
"I like Lumu's simple user interface. When we deployed it, we got full access, allowing us to identify IP addresses on the network and connect machine names to users. It helped us identify and block threats via the firewall. I also appreciate the chat support and ticket closure process. We're currently reviewing network detection solutions, and my recommendations include Lumu, Sentinel, and a few others. Regarding functionality and user-friendliness, I would recommend Lumu over the others."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"It's very easy to integrate Wazuh with other environments, cloud applications, and on-prem applications. So, the advantage is that it's easy to implement and integrate with other solutions."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
 

Cons

"Lumu's ability to discover threats is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"I am happy with the current features. However, one important one is to improve the reports."
"Nothing so far needs to be improved."
"It would be good if we could access the physical logs."
"The reports need improvement."
"The integration with different vendors and endpoints could be improved."
"Having a larger support network would be beneficial. Nobody I know has heard of Lumu, so they are in the same space as Darktrace or CrowdStrike, but people give blank stares."
"The free version is minimal compared to the full version."
"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."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"There is room for improvement by integrating more AI into Wazuh. It requires constant nurturing, as I have to provide it with code and specific requirements."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"An issue I noticed is with tag values in certain rules not functioning properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to Lumu, other solutions are more expensive. SentinelOne was a bit cheaper, and another provider's price structure is unclear, but Lumu fit our budget nicely. SentinelOne's cost depends on the number of devices, and it might be similar to Lumu's, depending on deployment."
"The tool is available at a good price. The tool offers a good and competitive price for customers."
"It is the cheapest solution we found."
"They have a good pricing strategy for market expansion."
"Wazuh is free and open source."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
"We use the free version of Wazuh."
"Wazuh has a community edition, and I was using that. It's free and open source."
"Wazuh is open-source, therefore it is free. You can purchase support for $1,000 a year."
