We performed a comparison between ESET PROTECT Enterprise and Wazuh based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The timeline feature is excellent. I also like the phishing simulation. We have phishing campaigns to educate employees and warn them about these threats."
"The Endpoint Manager is incredible; it has a very straightforward interface and is exceedingly easy to use. Pulling out and deploying different tags or resources is a simple task across various departments with different levels of security. The notifications are also simple and satisfying; it's great to see the bubble informing us which devices are compliant and which are waiting to update."
"Scanning, vulnerability reporting, and the dashboard are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are spam filtering, attachment filtering, and antivirus protection."
"We can automate routine tasks and write scripts to carry out difficult tasks, which makes things easier for us."
"The solution is well integrated with applications. It is easy to maintain and administer."
"We are connected to Microsoft and have every laptop enrolled. This acts as an endpoint. The tool helps me check security and compliance. I can also check what a device is doing."
"The unified view of the threat landscape on a central dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems. When I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."
"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"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."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"It's very easy to integrate Wazuh with other environments, cloud applications, and on-prem applications. So, the advantage is that it's easy to implement and integrate with other solutions."
"Sometimes, configurations take much longer than expected."
"There should be better information for experts on features in the solution. What I see when reading about features in Microsoft 365 Defender is that it is always general information. If Microsoft could go deeper into details for the experts about how to use the tools, usage of it would be more familiar and it would be easier to use."
"At times, there may be delays in the execution of certain actions and their effects."
"There are other SIEM solutions that are easier to use, mainly based on the creation of rules, use cases, and groups."
"Intrusion detection and prevention would be great to have with 365 Defender."
"Since all of our databases are updated and located in the cloud, I would like additional support for this."
"The support team is not competent or responsive."
"It would be highly beneficial if CoPilot could identify anomalies within the network and notify the IT team."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
"Its automation can be improved."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"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 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."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
