Detection capabilities and helpful support team enhance log analysis and integration flexibility
I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable. It allows integration with anything as long as I am willing to write detections, and their team is very helpful. I find its log analysis capabilities valuable. It enables me to filter down to individual roles in AWS, and if I am skilled at SQL queries, I can query anything. The infrastructure as code feature allows me to use Git repositories to manage detections and import detections from other Git repositories.

Evaluating robust file monitoring with insights for community support improvements
Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs. These aspects are vital as they provide alerts for changes and facilitate the monitoring of compliance. The platform is also relatively easy to set up and operate. Reports are straightforward to extract and prove useful for compliance requirements.

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."
"It's stable."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"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."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"Wazuh has very flexible and robust features."
 

Cons

"The solution could be improved by providing more built-in integrations, which would reduce the need for me to build them myself."
"Some features, like alerting, are complex with Wazuh."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
"The implementation is very complex."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"I want more support for regional compliance standards to serve my ANZ region customers better."
"The biggest part that's missing is threat intelligence. It isn't inbuilt, and if a sudden incident occurs, we don't get that feedback inside the SIEM tool. That's a big gap, I see. It would be better if we could get the threat intelligence feeds integrated with the SIEM tools. That would help us push value solutions to the clients in a big way."
"It would be better if they had a vulnerability assessment plug-in like the one AlienVault has. In the next release, I would like to have an app with an alerting mechanism."
