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

Pros

"We use the solution to collect logs."
"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"Wazuh is a powerful tool, and you can do lots of things with it."
"The MITRE ATT&CK correlation is most valuable."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"Other than that, it's a highly recommended product from our side, and we wish that this product had intel support."
"It's stable."
"It's a simple solution you can try for free, and you can get support."

Cons

"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
