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.

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."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"I find the PCI DSS feature the most valuable, along with the feature that monitors the compliance of Windows and the CIS benchmarks on other devices like Unix or Linux systems."
"It is a stable solution."
"Wazuh has very flexible and robust features."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"The product is easy to customize."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
 

Cons

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer should deliver more integrated products so you can manage the console and easily configure the solution."
"Wazuh currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
"The implementation is very complex."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"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."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"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."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
