Featured Reviews

Nagendra Nekkala. - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager Ict & Innovations at Bangalore International Airport Limited
A stable and scalable solution that can be used for log management and analytics
Two admins are managing the solution in our organization. Firstly, you need to prioritize the security threats you are looking for. You also need to know the incident response and compliance activities you are looking for. That can help your organization to have a proper ROI. Overall, I rate ArcSight Recon an eight out of ten.
Sudarson Prabhu - PeerSpot reviewer

File integrity monitoring has strengthened our data protection and supports compliance needs
I expected one thing from the dashboard in Wazuh. In ManageEngine, when you use ManageEngine, you can assign a unique ID to all employees. Then with the unique ID, if you search any unique ID in the dashboard itself, you can get the unique ID everywhere, including where the laptop has been logged in, when the logout happened, and what actions have been done for that unique ID. I expected the same in Wazuh, but whenever we want to check any monitoring activities for a specific person, we need to search for the endpoint and then get the endpoint details from our Active Directory or wherever we have the endpoint name stored in our resources, and then search for the endpoint to see the history for that specific endpoint only. This made a simple thing a bit complex. If we had a correlation of logs where I could just search one unique ID and then the unique ID pulls every system in a time-wise manner, that would be a great improvement I would suggest.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since ArcSight Recon gives proper log management for us, it helps me with my compliance purposes and any forensic investigation."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
"It is a stable solution."
"Regarding Wazuh, I find the SCA (Security Configuration Assessment) features most valuable. It's crucial for asset management and inventory, allowing us to monitorendpoints and servers' changes easily. This is particularly important for my customers, who aren't heavily focused on incident response but rely on asset management and inventories. Wazuh's compliance management features are very supportive, especially in regions like the Americas and Europe. However, it's less effective in the ANZ (Australia and New Zealand) region since Wazuh doesn't cater to the specific compliance standards there, such as those required in Australia. I appreciate that Wazuh fully complies with PCI DSS and GDPR standards, allowing us to generate necessary reports."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"When we talk about functionality, the most valuable feature or function I have found in Wazuh is Wazuh EDR agent with EDR capabilities."
 

Cons

"The solution's speed has to be improved because more data analytics makes the application slower."
"The implementation is very complex."
"Wazuh currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
"However, in the long term, if you want to build a SOC center on Wazuh, I do not recommend it because it's not stable."
"So far, the recent updates have addressed most challenges we previously faced."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"The technical support can be improved. Wazuh has some bugs that need to be fixed. It would be good if we can have automation with respect to incidence responses."
"The product's configuration part and lack of AI capabilities are some of the major concerns associated with Wazuh."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
