Using Dynatrace directly improved application uptime and reduced customer impacting incidents.
ROI is hard to specify; however, incidents like impending ransomware attacks highlight its value, though those are exceptional events.
Dynatrace is performing very well overall in terms of ROI versus investment.
I have seen value in security cost savings with Wazuh, as using proprietary EDR versions could save us substantial money.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.1
Customer service receives mixed reviews, with technical support praised for responsiveness despite occasional delays in complex cases.
Sentiment score
4.3
Wazuh support is effective for paid users, but open-source users face variability in community responsiveness and documentation use.
They have a good reputation, and the support is commendable.
The technical support from Dynatrace is excellent.
Whenever we faced any issues, we could get timely resolution from their support.
They responded quickly, which was crucial as I was on a time constraint.
We use the open-source version of Wazuh, which does not provide paid support.
The documentation is good and provides clear instructions, though it's targeted at those with technical backgrounds.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Dynatrace excels in scalability, effectively handling vast systems and cloud environments with minimal overhead and strong user ratings.
Sentiment score
6.6
Wazuh offers adaptable scaling, effective for most, despite challenges, excelling in compliance and endpoint management with varied scalability scores.
If it's an enterprise, increasing the number of instances doesn’t pose problems.
It is a powerful tool and helped us to reduce customer downtime and increase work efficiency.
It can accommodate thousands of endpoints on one instance, and multiple instances can run for different clients.
Currently, I don't see any limitations in terms of scalability as Wazuh can still connect many endpoints.
Scalability depends on the configuration and the infrastructure resources like compute and memory we allocate.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
Dynatrace is highly praised for enhanced stability and reliability, with minimal disruptions and frequent updates improving performance.
Sentiment score
6.6
Wazuh's stability generally ranges from moderate to high, contingent on proper maintenance, updates, and user-specific technical environments.
Generally, all are stable at ninety-nine point nine nine percent, but if the underlying infrastructure is not deployed correctly, stability may be problematic.
There have been no stability issues with Dynatrace.
Dynatrace is a SaaS product with frequent agent management updates.
The stability of Wazuh is strong, with no issues stemming from the solution itself.
The stability of Wazuh is largely dependent on maintenance.
The indexer frequently times out, requiring system restarts.
 

Room For Improvement

Dynatrace faces challenges in pricing, licensing, UI intuitiveness, integration, deployment, dashboard speed, support, compatibility, and monitoring capabilities.
Wazuh requires enhanced interface usability, scalability, AI integration, and easier deployment, with improved reporting and native system integration.
The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
I'm specifically looking at AIOps and how we can monitor AIOps-related things, considering we have LLMs and all that stuff.
They have been the pioneers from inception, and they remain at the top of the Gartner chart.
Machine learning is needed along with understanding user behavior and behavioral patterns.
The integration modules are insufficiently developed, necessitating the creation of custom integration solutions using tools like Logstash and PubSub.
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

Dynatrace's pricing is high, but its advanced features and ease of setup justify the cost for many users.
Wazuh is cost-effective for enterprises with open-source availability but incurs costs for infrastructure, support, and managed hosting.
Dynatrace is known to be costly, which delayed its integration into our system.
If setting up in a large scale environment, it is overwhelming because it is expensive.
If I would ask you to rate price from 1 to 10, where 1 is cheap and 10 is expensive, how many points would you give to it?
Wazuh is completely free of charge.
I would definitely recommend Wazuh, especially considering Fortinet's licensing model which is confusing and overpriced in my opinion.
Totaling around two lakh Indian rupees per month.

Dynatrace links compute with services and services with code and other components.
Wazuh is a SIEM tool that is highly customizable and versatile.

Featured Reviews

Manish Indupuri - PeerSpot reviewer
AI-driven insights have reduced downtime and improved cross-team collaboration
We encountered some challenges while using Dynatrace. Although the initial setup was smooth, fine-tuning alert thresholds and custom metrics took some time. Another challenge was that Dynatrace charges based on host units, so we had to carefully plan our agent deployments. The licensing model is expensive. Additionally, the complexity of setup is an issue. While OneAgent and auto-discover services are powerful, the setup is more complex compared to other tools such as Prometheus and Grafana. These integrations are simple and basic, but Dynatrace setup requires more complexity based on the environment. For new users wanting to use Dynatrace, it is difficult. However, the AI-related solutions and metrics took us to the next level for identifying and fixing things. Dynatrace requires an agent for operation. OneAgent is powerful, but it is also resource-heavy. On lightweight nodes or older systems, the agent can slightly impact performance. If Dynatrace could implement a lightweight agent behavior, we could make things faster. Additionally, if Dynatrace could add a long-term retention policy so that we could store more data and find fine-grained details, that would help us. While Dynatrace managed edition supports on-premises deployment, the SaaS version depends on cloud connectivity. For highly regulated or air-gapped environments, setup and updates can be challenging. Although the initial setup is smooth, if someone wants to fine-tune it and fully understand the tool end-to-end, it could be tricky.

Has faced limitations in AI capabilities and pricing flexibility
Pricing-wise, Wazuh stands out, along with deployment flexibility and its documentation which is extremely good in comparison to Forti. The community support is also incredible. They have helped quite a bit because previously, we had a separate tool and management dashboard to do our compliance. With Wazuh, we receive that information without having to do anything extra. We just set up the SIEM and all of that information was automatically populated. The dashboards are very easy to understand and very quick with no lag or delay. I have experienced delays on Forti's dashboards, but not with Wazuh. Wazuh is quite good. In comparison to Forti, they are quite similar. They are very good at detection.
