Featured Reviews

ManelAlvarez - PeerSpot reviewer
Protection improves through superior global visibility and robust cloud integration
CrowdStrike Observability is especially useful when using a multi-cloud environment. Although it is expensive, the protection level it provides justifies the price. For users on Google Cloud, I prefer using Google's GTI technology. Overall, I would rate CrowdStrike Observability as nine out of ten. I rate the overall solution as nine.
Sandip_Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
Evaluating robust file monitoring with insights for community support improvements
Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs. These aspects are vital as they provide alerts for changes and facilitate the monitoring of compliance. The platform is also relatively easy to set up and operate. Reports are straightforward to extract and prove useful for compliance requirements.

"In the logs and the trajectory, it shows detailed information about where the source of infection comes from, how it travels, and how to reach there."
"I like the features we use, including malware detection, inventory, detection of hidden processes, and activity logs. Inventory is probably the most important feature. It tells us when processes and packages were installed and what they are, which is helpful."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."

"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
 

Cons

"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial."
"The pricing is very high and small companies cannot afford it. They should reduce the price because the backend infrastructure is the same."
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial. Currently, there is a default ninety-day backup period."
"The customer service is not satisfactory for me. The support is only available in English, and my users in LATAM regions such as Peru and Colombia require local language support, which is not currently provided."
"Technical support received a rating of 4 out of 10."
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
"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."
"Some features, like alerting, are complex with Wazuh."
"When I face a challenge, I prefer not to spend too much time on it and may move to another solution that will give us the results."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
