System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited
Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

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

"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications; it seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial, and I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The initial setup was very simple and straightforward, according to our security team."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"We use the solution because it is granular."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"It is stable."
"The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."
"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"I would recommend Wazuh to others."
"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."
"The reporting and attractive dashboard are the most valuable features."
"The solution is easy to maintain."
"It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"The scalability is limited."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users."
"The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities, the authentication, when a person logs onto a network device."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"There's not much I like about Wazuh. Other products I've used were a lot more functional and user friendly."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"When we use low-end laptops for low-level employees, then the laptops become slow because of the backend work the agent is collecting and processing, causing the laptop to slow down and the bandwidth to decrease."
"An issue I noticed is with tag values in certain rules not functioning properly."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"Wazuh currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
