Featured Reviews

Derrick Brockel - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is a consistent logging platform that provides excellent query mechanisms
We can query a lot of data points and build dashboards. The vendor is good at adjusting their models. Most companies want us to forecast our yearly use and pay it upfront on day one. With Logz.io, we commit to use 14 TB in a year. However, they measure us every month and give us a monthly bill. Depending on our monthly usage, we pay for 14 TB divided by 12 months or a little extra. It's a little bit more like AWS. Other solutions do not do it. They want their money upfront. We really like the dashboards. We have 36 sub-accounts. Each sub-account is an app, and we could put restrictions on that app. Previously, there were capacity restrictions on the sub-accounts. If we have a sub-account of 1 TB and use only 100 GB, we waste 900 GB that day. We could not share it between sub-accounts. Now, they provide an overhead volume. We do a reserve, and any sub-account could use anything over the reserve. It utilizes our footprint better.

Evaluating robust file monitoring with insights for community support improvements
Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs. These aspects are vital as they provide alerts for changes and facilitate the monitoring of compliance. The platform is also relatively easy to set up and operate. Reports are straightforward to extract and prove useful for compliance requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the tool to track the dev and production environment."
"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."
"The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature. It's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs. We can see status really clearly and very fast, with just a couple of clicks."
"The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues."
"The other nice thing about Logz.io is their team. When it comes to onboarding, their support is incredibly proactive. They bring the brand experience from a customer services perspective because their team is always there to help you refine filters and tweak dashboards. That is really a useful thing to have. Their engagement is really supportive."
"The query mechanism for response codes and application health is valuable."
"It is massively useful and great for testing. We can just go, find logs, and attach them easily. It has a very quick lookup. Whereas, before we would have to go, dig around, and find the server that the logs were connected to, then go to the server, download the log, and attach it. Now, we can just go straight to this solution, type in the log ID and server ID, and obtain the information that we want."
"InsightOne is the main reason why we use LogMeIn. This is mostly because of log data that we are pushing tools and logs in general."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It's stable."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"Wazuh has very flexible and robust features."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
 

Cons

"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."
"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."
"When it comes to reducing our troubleshooting time, it depends. When there are no bugs in Logz.io, it reduces troubleshooting by 5 to 10 percent. When there are bugs, it increases our troubleshooting time by 200 percent or more."
"The solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well."
"The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API."
"I would like them to improve how they manage releases. Some of our integrations integrate specifically with set versions. Logz.io occasionally releases an update that might break that integration. On one occasion, we found out a little bit too late, then we had to roll it back."
"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two."
"The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"An issue I noticed is with tag values in certain rules not functioning properly."
"The product's configuration part and lack of AI capabilities are some of the major concerns associated with Wazuh."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"A more structured approach, perhaps with modular UI components, to facilitate easier integration and navigation within the Wazuh platform for custom integrations would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay for what you need, and that is a good model. They are also quite happy to talk to you about your uses and your use case. They will even go as far as suggesting things that you don't need to do in order to save you money. At one point, I was quite surprised at how cheap it could be if we wanted it to be or how much they would help us manage our costs."
"At the time it was set up, we thought Logz.io was very reasonable for what we were getting in terms of how much time and hosting costs it was saving us, because you don't have to run the servers for it anymore."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The tool is an open source product."
"The product's pricing is cheaper than other solutions."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"When I contacted customer care, they mentioned bundling options, that I found to be overall affordable."
"Wazuh is free and open source."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"Wazuh has a community edition, and I was using that. It's free and open source."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
