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.

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."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"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."
"Other than that, it's a highly recommended product from our side, and we wish that this product had intel support."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"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."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
 

Cons

"The solution's speed has to be improved because more data analytics makes the application slower."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"Integration with Vyara could be better."
"An issue I noticed is with tag values in certain rules not functioning properly."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"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."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"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."
