I recommend Wazuh to everyone and believe more platforms, not just SIEM and XDR capability platforms, should be open source, allowing people to leverage these tools for the greater good.
Wazuh excels in integration with cloud and on-premises systems, offering free features akin to premium solutions. Its compliant security features cover PCI DSS and GDPR standards, enhancing its appeal. Easy deployment and built-in modules support varied security needs, yet it lacks effective event source coverage compared to Splunk. Future releases should improve enterprise readiness, real-time threat intelligence, automation, and scalability in log management.
