An easy-to-use solution that could improve it’s website-scouring capabilities
The solution is easy to use The solution could improve how it scours each website. We have used the solution for more than a year. The stability is very good, so I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium-sized…

Open-source platform with custom alerting
There are three key strengths of Wazuh that stand out to me. Firstly, Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms the Elastic Stack. Wazuh has achieved this by running a config or a sec in the background, which has improved the XBR for endpoint security significantly. Secondly, Wazuh comes with built-in frameworks, such as the NISC and ISO, that make it easy to comply with various industry standards. We didn't need to configure any custom frameworks for this, as Wazuh had it built in. Lastly, Wazuh has the ability to collect terabytes of data within seconds, which is a crucial feature for modern enterprises dealing with large amounts of data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"The tool is stable."
"My company implemented Wazuh because it was relatively inexpensive. They could quickly get their hands on it to check a box for some audit and compliance."
"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."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"It's very easy to integrate Wazuh with other environments, cloud applications, and on-prem applications. So, the advantage is that it's easy to implement and integrate with other solutions."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"Some features, like alerting, are complex with Wazuh."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"Wazuh has a drawback with regard to Unix systems. The solution does not allow us to do real-time monitoring for Unix systems. If usage increases, it would be a heavy fall on the other SIEM solutions or event monitoring solutions."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
"Wazuh is free and open source."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"Wazuh is open-source, but you must consider the total cost of ownership. It may be free to acquire, but you spend a lot of time and effort supporting the product and getting it to a point where it's useful."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
