Advanced detectors streamline threat monitoring with many use cases
Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions. Their turnaround time could improve to match other tools. When feedback is provided, they consider it and indicate if it is in the development stage. They commit to fixing bugs and developing the module or feature, however, take quite a lot of time. I would rate their customer support as needing improvement. Another area needing improvement is integration capabilities, as they are not yet fully compatible. Users still have to rely on third-party software or integration tools. Furthermore, they should incorporate more GenAI capabilities, a current buzzword, and enable predictive use cases. Their tools should be capable of reading the environment, making adaptations, and automatically tweaking settings as per client or environmental needs, similar to capabilities provided by other SIEM tools.

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

"Other SIEM tools base their license cost on the volume of data processed, often charging by how much TB or GB data is processed. Hunter, however, charges based on the number of data sources and the number of data entities integrated, which saves money."
"Hunter proactively provides a set of five to six hundred use cases, categorized based on cloud use cases, endpoint use cases, parameter use cases, and malicious use cases."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"The product is easy to customize."
"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."
"When we talk about functionality, the most valuable feature or function I have found in Wazuh is Wazuh EDR agent with EDR capabilities."
"Wazuh has very flexible and robust features."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
 

Cons

"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions."
"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
"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."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
"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."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
"When I contacted customer care, they mentioned bundling options, that I found to be overall affordable."
"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."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"Wazuh is free and open source."
