Detection capabilities and helpful support team enhance log analysis and integration flexibility
I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable. It allows integration with anything as long as I am willing to write detections, and their team is very helpful. I find its log analysis capabilities valuable. It enables me to filter down to individual roles in AWS, and if I am skilled at SQL queries, I can query anything. The infrastructure as code feature allows me to use Git repositories to manage detections and import detections from other Git repositories.

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.

Pros

"I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"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."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"It's stable."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."
 

Cons

"The solution could be improved by providing more built-in integrations, which would reduce the need for me to build them myself."
"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."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"Log data analysis could be improved. My IT team has been looking for an alternative because they want better log data for malware detection. We are also doing more container implementation also, so we need better container security, log data analysis, auditing and compliance, malware detection, etc."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"Some features, like alerting, are complex with Wazuh."
"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."
