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.

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

"Since ArcSight Recon gives proper log management for us, it helps me with my compliance purposes and any forensic investigation."
"Stability-wise, Wazuh seems to have fixed all the past issues, and the latest version is possibly the most stable."
"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."
"It's very easy to integrate Wazuh with other environments, cloud applications, and on-prem applications."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is its EDR capabilities."
"It's stable."
"I like the features we use, including malware detection, inventory, detection of hidden processes, and activity logs. Inventory is probably the most important feature. It tells us when processes and packages were installed and what they are, which is helpful."
"It's a simple solution you can try for free, and you can get support."
 

Cons

"The solution's speed has to be improved because more data analytics makes the application slower."
"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."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
"The product's configuration part and lack of AI capabilities are some of the major concerns associated with Wazuh."
"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."
"I think that the next release should be more suitable for large enterprises, because currently they are not because large companies do not rely on open source solutions."
"Some features, like alerting, are complex with Wazuh."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Wazuh is free and open source."
"Wazuh is open-source, but you must consider the total cost of ownership. It may be free to acquire, but you spend a lot of time and effort supporting the product and getting it to a point where it's useful."
"When I contacted customer care, they mentioned bundling options, that I found to be overall affordable."
"Wazuh is a cheaply priced product."
"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."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
