Senior Manager, Services at International Turnkey Systems - ITS
It's a complete solution package
When I go into the portal, I can see how many endpoints are enrolled or how many of them are active in place. I can see the current number of threats that are there in the organization. How many threats have been identified, etc. I can see which endpoint the critical events are coming in from a security aspect.

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

"It's a complete solution package."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"Regarding Wazuh, I find the SCA (Security Configuration Assessment) features most valuable. It's crucial for asset management and inventory, allowing us to monitorendpoints and servers' changes easily. This is particularly important for my customers, who aren't heavily focused on incident response but rely on asset management and inventories. Wazuh's compliance management features are very supportive, especially in regions like the Americas and Europe. However, it's less effective in the ANZ (Australia and New Zealand) region since Wazuh doesn't cater to the specific compliance standards there, such as those required in Australia. I appreciate that Wazuh fully complies with PCI DSS and GDPR standards, allowing us to generate necessary reports."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"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."
 

Cons

"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"Wazuh doesn't have native support for some enterprise solutions."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"However, in the long term, if you want to build a SOC center on Wazuh, I do not recommend it because it's not stable."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"Log data analysis could be improved. My IT team has been looking for an alternative because they want better log data for malware detection. We are also doing more container implementation also, so we need better container security, log data analysis, auditing and compliance, malware detection, etc."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is six out of ten."
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"When I contacted customer care, they mentioned bundling options, that I found to be overall affordable."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
"We use the free version of Wazuh."
"Wazuh is open-source, but you must consider the total cost of ownership. It may be free to acquire, but you spend a lot of time and effort supporting the product and getting it to a point where it's useful."
