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.

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."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"Wazuh automatically scans the host for CIS benchmarks for the latest updates and vulnerabilities and gives a host score. It provides a percentage of perceived risk due to of non patches or any missing patches on that work."
"Some of the strengths of Wazuh that stand out for us include its scalability when deployed on Azure, its open-source nature, which allows for customization based on our needs, and its compatibility with various security solutions like threat intelligence platforms."
"Wazuh has very flexible and robust features."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"It is a stable solution."
"We found the MITRE framework mapping and the agent enrollment service to be the most valuable features of Wazuh."
 

Cons

"The solution could be improved by providing more built-in integrations, which would reduce the need for me to build them myself."
"Wazuh currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"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."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
"The product's configuration part and lack of AI capabilities are some of the major concerns associated with Wazuh."
