A stable and scalable solution that can be used for log management and analytics
Two admins are managing the solution in our organization. Firstly, you need to prioritize the security threats you are looking for. You also need to know the incident response and compliance activities you are looking for. That can help your organization to have a proper ROI. Overall, I rate ArcSight Recon an eight out of ten.

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

"Since ArcSight Recon gives proper log management for us, it helps me with my compliance purposes and any forensic investigation."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"Wazuh has very flexible and robust features."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution's speed has to be improved because more data analytics makes the application slower."
"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."
"Wazuh requires substantial maintenance. The indexer frequently times out, requiring system restarts. When it comes to errors, debugging takes considerable time."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"So far, the recent updates have addressed most challenges we previously faced."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
