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.

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 initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"We found the MITRE framework mapping and the agent enrollment service to be the most valuable features of Wazuh."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"The MITRE ATT&CK correlation is most valuable."
"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"The solution is easy to maintain."
"We use it to find any aberration in our endpoint devices. For example, if someone installs a game on their company laptop, Wazuh will detect it and inform us of the unauthorized software or unintended use of the devices provided by the company."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is distributed architecture and it uses Elastic DB. Their Elastic DB doesn't allow open source waste application."
"The product's configuration part and lack of AI capabilities are some of the major concerns associated with Wazuh."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
"Wazuh has a community edition, and I was using that. It's free and open source."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"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 product is cheaper compared to other tools."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
