The solution makes it easy to monitor users though it needs to improve its UI

I use the solution for a bit of user monitoring and analysis, and logging events It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm. I think almost all the features in terms of how they assist us in monitoring what is going on in our infrastructure are valuable,…

Open-source platform with custom alerting

There are three key strengths of Wazuh that stand out to me. Firstly, Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms the Elastic Stack. Wazuh has achieved this by running a config or a sec in the background, which has improved the XBR for endpoint security significantly. Secondly, Wazuh comes with built-in frameworks, such as the NISC and ISO, that make it easy to comply with various industry standards. We didn't need to configure any custom frameworks for this, as Wazuh had it built in. Lastly, Wazuh has the ability to collect terabytes of data within seconds, which is a crucial feature for modern enterprises dealing with large amounts of data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."

"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."

"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."

"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."

"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."

"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."

"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."

"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."

More LogRhythm UEBA pros

"I like Wazuh because it is a lot like ELK, which I was already comfortable with, so I didn't have to learn from scratch."

"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's very easy to integrate Wazuh with other environments, cloud applications, and on-prem applications. So, the advantage is that it's easy to implement and integrate with other solutions."

"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."

"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."

"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."

"The product is easy to customize."

"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."

More Wazuh pros

Cons

"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."

"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."

"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."

"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."

"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."

"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."

"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."

"The search feature needs to be improved."

More LogRhythm UEBA cons

"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."

"Wazuh doesn't cover sources of events as well as Splunk. You can integrate Splunk with many sources of events, but it's a painful process to take care of some sources of events with Wazuh."

"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."

"There's not much I like about Wazuh. Other products I've used were a lot more functional and user friendly. They came with reports and use cases out of the box. We need to configure Wazuh's alerts and monitoring capabilities manually. It'd be nice if we could select from templates and presets for use cases already built and coded."

"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."

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

"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."

"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."

"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."

"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."

"It is quite a budget-friendly product."

"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."

"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."

"Wazuh is a cheaply priced product."

"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."

"The solution's pricing is very competitive."

"The solution's cost is above the average."

"It is an open-source product."

"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."

"They have a good pricing strategy for market expansion."

"We use the free version of Wazuh."

LogRhythm

Overview

LogRhythm UEBA enables your security team to quickly and effectively detect, respond to, and neutralize both known and unknown threats. Providing evidence-based starting points for investigation, it employs a combination of scenario analytics techniques (e.g., statistical analysis, rate analysis, trend analysis, advanced correlation), and both supervised and unsupervised machine learning (ML).

Wazuh is an enterprise-ready platform used for security monitoring. It is a free and open-source platform that is used for threat detection, incident response and compliance, and integrity monitoring. Wazuh is capable of protecting workloads across virtualized, on-premises, containerized, and cloud-based environments.

It consists of an endpoint security agent and a management server. Additionally, Wazuh is fully integrated with the Elastic Stack, allowing users the ability to navigate through security alerts via a data visualization tool.

Wazuh’s agent can run on many different platforms, and is lightweight. It can successfully perform the tasks needed to detect threats in order to trigger responses automatically.
Wazuh manages the agents, can analyze agent data, and can scale horizontally.
Elastic Stack is where alerts are indexed and stored.

Wazuh Capabilities

Some of Wazuh’s most notable capabilities include:

Intrusion detection: Wazuh’s agents can detect hidden files, cloaked processes, or unregistered network listeners, as well as inconsistencies in system call responses. Wazuh’s server component uses a signature-based approach to intrusion detection, using its regular expression engine to analyze collected log data and look for indicators of compromise.
Log data analysis: Wazuh can read operating system and application logs, and securely forward them to a central manager for rule-based analysis and storage.
Integrity monitoring: File integrity monitoring can help identify changes in content, ownership, permissions, and attribute of files. Wazuh’s file integrity monitoring can be used in conjunction with threat intelligence.
Vulnerability detection: Wazuh agents can identify well-known vulnerable software so you can see where your weak spots are and take action before an attack can exploit them.
Configuration assessment: System and application configurations are monitored to make sure they are compliant with security policies. Periodic scans are used to detect applications that are known to be vulnerable, insecurely configured, or unpatched.
Incident response: Wazuh responds actively when active threats need to be addressed. It can perform countermeasures like blocking access to a system when a threat source is identified.
Regulatory compliance: Wazuh includes the security controls required to be compliant with industry regulations and standards.
Cloud security: Wazuh’s light-weight and multi-platform agents are commonly used to monitor cloud environments at the instance level. In addition, Wazuh helps monitor cloud infrastructure at an API level.
Security for containers: With Wazuh, you have increased security visibility into hosts and containers, allowing for easier detection of threats, anomalies, and vulnerabilities.
