"Dynatrace makes it so much easier to proactively solve problems before they become big headaches, and easily pinpoint the root cause of an issue."
"The product allows us to build preferred/customized business transactions to track complex transactions. UEM (User Experience Monitoring) agents track user experience on webRequests. The advantage is that Dynatrace correlates the measures on the devices with those on the backend servers, giving us an end-to-end view of the transaction, from the user's phone deep into the backend servers."
"It is a 100 percent stable solution...Dynatrace is a highly scalable product since it is a SaaS-based application."
"Quick availability of multiple aspects of performance from infrastructure to application layers."
"We can analyse problems more quickly, and detecting problems becomes easier with Dynatrace."
"The overall application monitoring ability to do alerts."
"I like the PurePaths dashlet the most. This is mostly because as soon I open the PurePaths dashlet and sort by response time, there is the problem. Every time."
"Gives me the ability to identify user browsers, user geographical location."
"I like Wazuh because it is a lot like ELK, which I was already comfortable with, so I didn't have to learn from scratch."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"I like the cloud-native infrastructure and that it's free. We didn't have to pay anything, and it has the capabilities of many premium solutions in the market. We could integrate all of our services and infrastructure in the cloud with Wazuh. From an integration point of view, Wazuh is pretty good. I had a good experience with this platform."
"There are a couple gaps in the network reporting that we would like to see cleared up a bit."
"Even if the engine can manage a huge amount of data, requests take time to succeed."
"The web-based UI needs to be improved."
"Ability to better identify SDQ script errors would be helpful."
"They expect the customer to do the basic analysis, do all the solutions, and find the solutions themselves. If it is really a product problem, only then will they be able to identify and spend time on the customer."
"Richer, deeper partner channel: It needs to expand and deepen the business use cases, where their solutions can help."
"It often produces "false alarms" and cannot identify failure patterns over days/weeks that do not indicate concern."
"It could be more affordable and therefore, more widely used by including more features like DEM as part of licensing cost rather than an additional expense."
"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."
"There's not much I like about Wazuh. Other products I've used were a lot more functional and user friendly. They came with reports and use cases out of the box. We need to configure Wazuh's alerts and monitoring capabilities manually. It'd be nice if we could select from templates and presets for use cases already built and coded."
"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."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"Integration with Vyara could be better."
"Wazuh doesn't cover sources of events as well as Splunk. You can integrate Splunk with many sources of events, but it's a painful process to take care of some sources of events with Wazuh."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
