Global Director, Commercial Operations at Promasecure LLC
Automated security monitoring increases efficiency, but market visibility needs improvement
I am currently evaluating Stellar Cyber Open XDR in terms of their support. I do not see any major areas for improvement as of now. Their support is good, and the team is small, enabling them to cater to everyone effectively. While I have not encountered significant drawbacks so far, market penetration is challenging due to the product's newness, despite its flexibility and customization features. I find their user interface to be quite good.

Engineer Information Security at N-Able (Pvt) Ltd
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

"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"When we talk about functionality, the most valuable feature or function I have found in Wazuh is Wazuh EDR agent with EDR capabilities."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
 

Cons

"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"The biggest part that's missing is threat intelligence. It isn't inbuilt, and if a sudden incident occurs, we don't get that feedback inside the SIEM tool. That's a big gap, I see. It would be better if we could get the threat intelligence feeds integrated with the SIEM tools. That would help us push value solutions to the clients in a big way."
"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 currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
"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."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s a single license platform."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"Wazuh is open-source, therefore it is free. You can purchase support for $1,000 a year."
"Wazuh has a community edition, and I was using that. It's free and open source."
"They have a good pricing strategy for market expansion."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
"The current pricing is open source."
