Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while. As for the main differences between Graylog Security and other vendors, some users might prefer cloud-based platforms over on-premises solutions. It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"We use the solution to collect logs."
"The reporting and attractive dashboard are the most valuable features."
"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."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"We found the MITRE framework mapping and the agent enrollment service to be the most valuable features of Wazuh."
"Wazuh's logging features integrate seamlessly with AWS cloud-native services. There are also Wazuh agent configurations for different use cases, like vulnerability scanning, host-based intrusion detection, and file integrity monitoring."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"Stability-wise, Wazuh seems to have fixed all the past issues, and the latest version is possibly the most stable."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"The lack of AI features is an issue at the moment in the industry."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"Wazuh doesn't have native support for some enterprise solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"Wazuh is open-source, therefore it is free. You can purchase support for $1,000 a year."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"Wazuh is a cheaply priced product."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool, which means it is freely available for use."
"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."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"We use the free version of Wazuh."
