We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Wazuh based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"I find the PCI DSS feature the most valuable, along with the feature that monitors the compliance of Windows and the CIS benchmarks on other devices like Unix or Linux systems."
"Some of the strengths of Wazuh that stand out for us include its scalability when deployed on Azure, its open-source nature, which allows for customization based on our needs, and its compatibility with various security solutions like threat intelligence platforms."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"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."
"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is distributed architecture and it uses Elastic DB. Their Elastic DB doesn't allow open source waste application."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
