Can be used to monitor a specific log or do specific actions, but its initial setup is not so easy
I have some customers using SolarWinds Log Analyzer to put some conditions on monitoring information from Windows servers and Linux servers. They use SolarWinds Log Analyzer to see if these conditions appear, and if they appear, generate a notification so that they can investigate what happened…

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.

"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."

Cons

"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"The implementation is very complex."
"A more structured approach, perhaps with modular UI components, to facilitate easier integration and navigation within the Wazuh platform for custom integrations would be beneficial."
"They could include flexibility and customization capabilities by modifying for customers based on partner agreements."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer is a cheap product."
"We use the free version of Wazuh."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Wazuh is a cheaply priced product."

"When I contacted customer care, they mentioned bundling options, that I found to be overall affordable."
"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."
"Wazuh has a community edition, and I was using that. It's free and open source."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool, which means it is freely available for use."
