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…
Sudarson Prabhu - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Consultant at Payatu
File integrity monitoring has strengthened our data protection and supports compliance needs
I expected one thing from the dashboard in Wazuh. In ManageEngine, when you use ManageEngine, you can assign a unique ID to all employees. Then with the unique ID, if you search any unique ID in the dashboard itself, you can get the unique ID everywhere, including where the laptop has been logged in, when the logout happened, and what actions have been done for that unique ID. I expected the same in Wazuh, but whenever we want to check any monitoring activities for a specific person, we need to search for the endpoint and then get the endpoint details from our Active Directory or wherever we have the endpoint name stored in our resources, and then search for the endpoint to see the history for that specific endpoint only. This made a simple thing a bit complex. If we had a correlation of logs where I could just search one unique ID and then the unique ID pulls every system in a time-wise manner, that would be a great improvement I would suggest.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer works for specific conditions, like when someone needs to monitor a specific log or do specific actions."
"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."
"I like the features we use, including malware detection, inventory, detection of hidden processes, and activity logs. Inventory is probably the most important feature. It tells us when processes and packages were installed and what they are, which is helpful."
"The tool is stable."
"Stability-wise, Wazuh seems to have fixed all the past issues, and the latest version is possibly the most stable."
"It's stable."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"We use it to find any aberration in our endpoint devices. For example, if someone installs a game on their company laptop, Wazuh will detect it and inform us of the unauthorized software or unintended use of the devices provided by the company."
 

Cons

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer should deliver more integrated products so you can manage the console and easily configure the solution."
"The product's configuration part and lack of AI capabilities are some of the major concerns associated with Wazuh."
"Wazuh is not easily scalable. You have to consider the sources of events and maybe the amount of traffic."
"Wazuh currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"When we use low-end laptops for low-level employees, then the laptops become slow because of the backend work the agent is collecting and processing, causing the laptop to slow down and the bandwidth to decrease."
"I want more support for regional compliance standards to serve my ANZ region customers better."
"The implementation is very complex."
"Wazuh has a drawback with regard to Unix systems. The solution does not allow us to do real-time monitoring for Unix systems. If usage increases, it would be a heavy fall on the other SIEM solutions or event monitoring solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer is a cheap product."
"Wazuh is free and open source."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"They have a good pricing strategy for market expansion."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
