Centralized management streamlines log collection while providing valuable resources
We use it for log collection on customers that have compliance requirements The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable. It allows us to manage multiple Huntress products in a central place, and we don't have ten different…
Ebenezer Okoh - PeerSpot reviewer
Innovative platform enables proactive threat hunting and endpoint monitoring
I have not seen Wazuh moving in the direction of AI-driven threat detection projects myself, but since the market is moving that way, I wouldn't be surprised if they implemented it soon. My plans to increase the usage of Wazuh or switch to another tool depend on what my boss decides. We don't refer to any community support specifically, as we rely on other platforms such as GitHub or Discord, depending on the application. I recommend that as more companies come on board with Wazuh, it will motivate those who contribute to it, but I am also cautious that as it gains attention, a large company might buy it and change its course of business. Overall, I rate Wazuh a nine out of ten.

Pros

"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
"The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
"Overall, I rate Wazuh a nine out of ten."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like the cloud-native infrastructure and that it's free. We didn't have to pay anything, and it has the capabilities of many premium solutions in the market. We could integrate all of our services and infrastructure in the cloud with Wazuh. From an integration point of view, Wazuh is pretty good. I had a good experience with this platform."
"I recommend Wazuh to everyone and believe more platforms, not just SIEM and XDR capability platforms, should be open source, allowing people to leverage these tools for the greater good."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
"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."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
 

Cons

"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"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."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"Wazuh requires substantial maintenance. The indexer frequently times out, requiring system restarts. When it comes to errors, debugging takes considerable time."
"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."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"The biggest part that's missing is threat intelligence. It isn't inbuilt, and if a sudden incident occurs, we don't get that feedback inside the SIEM tool. That's a big gap, I see. It would be better if we could get the threat intelligence feeds integrated with the SIEM tools. That would help us push value solutions to the clients in a big way."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
"Wazuh is free and open source."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"When I contacted customer care, they mentioned bundling options, that I found to be overall affordable."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool, which means it is freely available for use."
