AI triage has streamlined real-time alert monitoring and has improved on-call incident response
The best features Panther offers are AI Triage, the ability to comment on our activities, and seamless integration with other communication sources such as PagerDuty, Microsoft Teams, and potentially Slack, showcasing the flexibility we have in using this tool. The most valuable feature for my team is definitely AI Triage, which helps save a lot of time by eliminating the need for manual research regarding patterns that may be repeated, making our work easier and more efficient. Panther has positively impacted my organization as it serves as one of the main sources for triaging real-time incidents. Panther definitely plays a key role in the work that we do. Specific outcomes that show how Panther has helped our organization include saving a lot of time, especially since the AI Triage feature reduces the necessity to reach out to others for clarity, which it occasionally accomplishes on its own. To be honest, it does lack some aspects. For example, if it could access our organizational knowledge, including the Jira database, it might better analyze incidents and determine whether they are false positives or not by using more contextual data.

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

"I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable."
"The AI Triage feature saves a considerable amount of time, and if it were to incorporate organizational knowledge, it could provide finer-tuned results."
"We have seen a return on investment measured primarily through SOC efficiency and productivity improvements, with teams observing a twenty to thirty-five percent improvement in investigation efficiency depending on the environment and product maturity."
"Panther positively impacts my organization as it is the first point of response for any incident, giving a reviewer full clarity about what is happening, how it is happening, and where it is happening."
"Wazuh caught my attention as a very cool solution for verifying file integrity."
"The product is easy to customize."
"It's a simple solution you can try for free, and you can get support."
"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."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"Overall, I rate Wazuh a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is its EDR capabilities."
"The MITRE ATT&CK correlation is most valuable."
 

Cons

"The user experience could be improved because whenever I want to investigate the data, too much data is shown in the UI."
"The solution could be improved by providing more built-in integrations, which would reduce the need for me to build them myself."
"Regarding Panther's accuracy and reliability of output, I would rate it at 70 percent since, at times, it identifies findings as valid when they may actually be false positives, which we have experienced in a few cases."
"Wazuh requires substantial maintenance. The indexer frequently times out, requiring system restarts. When it comes to errors, debugging takes considerable time."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"I want more support for regional compliance standards to serve my ANZ region customers better."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"When I contacted customer care, they mentioned bundling options, that I found to be overall affordable."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
"We use the free version of Wazuh."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
