The scalability of CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is great as it adapts perfectly well when the number of clients or the volume of data increases.
Manager, Delivery at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
It can accommodate thousands of endpoints on one instance, and multiple instances can run for different clients.
Security Operations Center Analyst at mailbox.org
Currently, I don't see any limitations in terms of scalability as Wazuh can still connect many endpoints.
Security Consultant at ebenezer.okoh@agorasecurity.it
This is because of the backend work the agent is collecting and processing, causing the laptop to slow down and the bandwidth to decrease.

Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon SIEM needs better dashboards, automation, storage, licensing flexibility, and more cat-themed threat actor integrations.
Wazuh faces scalability and integration issues, needing enhanced security, AI features, and better support for large enterprises.
An agent that advises me or notifies me what changes have happened since my last login to the platform, what has changed, what errors it has detected, what connector or parsing failures there have been, and that it gives me a prioritization approach indicating which of these failures are more important and where I should start applying fixes or resolving them.
Delivery Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Necessary improvements revolve around being able to store information in third-party repositories and being able to do federated searches without having to connect to third-party systems.
Senior Manager, Delivery at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I would suggest including data normalization, specifically a way to easily normalize data from different sources, as currently you can do it, but it is a little bit more labor-intensive.
System Administrator at W. O. Grubb Steel Erection, Inc.
Machine learning is needed along with understanding user behavior and behavioral patterns.
Engineer Information Security at N-Able (Pvt) Ltd
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.
Security Consultant at Payatu
I think Wazuh should improve by introducing AI functionalities, as it would be beneficial to see AI incorporated in the threat hunting and detection functionalities.

Setup Cost

Wazuh's open-source solution is cost-effective for enterprises, with cloud costs and scalability as key considerations.
there are cheaper vendors, there are more expensive vendors, but in general, I think it is well positioned.
Manager, Delivery at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
This consolidation has helped us free up a huge cost by being able to remove other tools in favor of a single one.
Not Specified at a wholesaler/distributor with 5,001-10,000 employees
There have been cases where it has turned out positive and cases where prices have been higher, depending on the specific circumstances and ecosystem of each client.
Senior Manager, Delivery at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Wazuh is completely free of charge.
Security Consultant at ebenezer.okoh@agorasecurity.it
I would definitely recommend Wazuh, especially considering Fortinet's licensing model which is confusing and overpriced in my opinion.
Engineer Information Security at N-Able (Pvt) Ltd
Wazuh is free to use, but there are licensing fees for third parties.

Centralized log onboarding has transformed root-cause analysis and streamlined alert-driven triage
I do not use automations within CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM at this point, but that is something that we want to do in the future. Maybe I did not experiment or did not investigate, but if we can get alerts based upon the CPU utilizations and the metrics over there, probably that would make this one tool used for everything. Actually, the circumstances that prompted my company to explore new SIEM solutions maybe include a point where the storage space or the license that we have, probably compared to other SIEM products, they have more, or the pricing and sales that go into the picture there. Again, that is above my pay grade to comment on, but it probably could be better if we can provide more storage of the data for the license that has been provided for organizations.

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.
