AI triage has streamlined real-time alert monitoring and has improved on-call incident response
The best features Panther offers are AI Triage, the ability to comment on our activities, and seamless integration with other communication sources such as PagerDuty, Microsoft Teams, and potentially Slack, showcasing the flexibility we have in using this tool. The most valuable feature for my team is definitely AI Triage, which helps save a lot of time by eliminating the need for manual research regarding patterns that may be repeated, making our work easier and more efficient. Panther has positively impacted my organization as it serves as one of the main sources for triaging real-time incidents. Panther definitely plays a key role in the work that we do. Specific outcomes that show how Panther has helped our organization include saving a lot of time, especially since the AI Triage feature reduces the necessity to reach out to others for clarity, which it occasionally accomplishes on its own. To be honest, it does lack some aspects. For example, if it could access our organizational knowledge, including the Jira database, it might better analyze incidents and determine whether they are false positives or not by using more contextual data.

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

"I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable."
"The AI Triage feature saves a considerable amount of time, and if it were to incorporate organizational knowledge, it could provide finer-tuned results."
"We have seen a return on investment measured primarily through SOC efficiency and productivity improvements, with teams observing a twenty to thirty-five percent improvement in investigation efficiency depending on the environment and product maturity."
"Panther positively impacts my organization as it is the first point of response for any incident, giving a reviewer full clarity about what is happening, how it is happening, and where it is happening."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"I would recommend Wazuh to others."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"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 initial setup phase was easy."
 

Cons

"Regarding Panther's accuracy and reliability of output, I would rate it at 70 percent since, at times, it identifies findings as valid when they may actually be false positives, which we have experienced in a few cases."
"The user experience could be improved because whenever I want to investigate the data, too much data is shown in the UI."
"The solution could be improved by providing more built-in integrations, which would reduce the need for me to build them myself."
"Wazuh's scalability and out-of-the-box functionality are slightly lagging behind, but Wazuh has improved a lot since the first time we saw it."
"There's not much I like about Wazuh. Other products I've used were a lot more functional and user friendly."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"Wazuh doesn't cover sources of events as well as Splunk. You can integrate Splunk with many sources of events, but it's a painful process to take care of some sources of events with Wazuh."
