Featured Reviews

Kishore Tiwari - PeerSpot reviewer
Development from open sources is very valuable but a huge infrastructure is required
The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used. The search configuration is a bit different than other OEMs or SIEM solutions like ArcSight or QRadar that are easy to search because they operate similarly. The logic is there and the solution supplies a pretty good explanation. Basically, DNIF spelled out is the opposite of FIND. You have to find commands whenever you want to search something. For example, a highway gets you to your destination but there is an alternate way people don't yet know about. Gartner or Forrester haven't yet studied it. We were a bit nervous when we were trying to get familiar with the solution. We wondered if we could realize ROI because the commands and ways of pulling data were different to us. We raised a case with the support team and their professionals provided the needed support. The command line is user friendly once you understand it. If you need immediate use, then you might want to get assistance from someone who is well-versed in methods for using key patterns to find things. Lengthier files for threat hunting or analysis are needed. The correlation happens, but exporting a large number of files to abstract them is not possible. For example, I want to present raw data to management so I should be able to customize a date range in my query and download the files.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."
"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance. It also works on a virtual machine. We haven't found any issues with it so far. It's been reliable."
"The User Behavior Analytics is a built-in threat-hunting feature. It detects and reports on any kind of malware or ransomware that enters the network."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."
"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."
"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."
"The response time on queries is super-fast."
"Has a great search capability."
"The tool is stable."
"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."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"Wazuh automatically scans the host for CIS benchmarks for the latest updates and vulnerabilities and gives a host score. It provides a percentage of perceived risk due to of non patches or any missing patches on that work."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
 

Cons

"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."
"The EBA could be improved."
"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."
"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."
"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."
"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."
"I think DNIF HYPERCLOUD can implement the ability to export more than 100,000. At the moment, we can't go beyond that. So many times, if you're checking for the firewall logs and working on something related to authentication or network-related traffic, while that log count is low, the account goes beyond that. You can't restrict the logs or the amount of data you can export. It's very important for my situation. It would be better if they could increase the capacity of exports. Although there are many more types of searching in DNIF HYPERCLOUD, people still struggle to query out what they want because not everyone is good at SQL or DQL. The easiest way to query out in DNIF is using the GUI-based interface. But in the GUI interface, you can use operator calls. It gets tricky when you want to search for a specific type of event. You don't know where it will be passed and whether it will be consistent. In the initial phase, it's tough for us to use DNIF. You cannot pass every event in a stable DNIF. When we used that particular tool, we used to get those logs, but sometimes many things are not getting passed. So, we used to export the sheet or export the data into Excel and weigh the required details. In the next release, I would like them to improve the export of the columns and make the application more user-friendly. I would also like a threat-hunting feature in the next release."
"Wazuh requires substantial maintenance. The indexer frequently times out, requiring system restarts. When it comes to errors, debugging takes considerable time."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
"They could include flexibility and customization capabilities by modifying for customers based on partner agreements."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
"It would be better if they had a vulnerability assessment plug-in like the one AlienVault has. In the next release, I would like to have an app with an alerting mechanism."
"The technical support can be improved. Wazuh has some bugs that need to be fixed. It would be good if we can have automation with respect to incidence responses."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."
"The pricing is based on the log size."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool, which means it is freely available for use."
"Wazuh is free and open source."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"They have a good pricing strategy for market expansion."
"Wazuh is open-source, therefore it is free. You can purchase support for $1,000 a year."
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
