It's a complete solution package
When I go into the portal, I can see how many endpoints are enrolled or how many of them are active in place. I can see the current number of threats that are there in the organization. How many threats have been identified, etc. I can see which endpoint the critical events are coming in from a security aspect.
Ebenezer Okoh - PeerSpot reviewer
Innovative platform enables proactive threat hunting and endpoint monitoring
I have not seen Wazuh moving in the direction of AI-driven threat detection projects myself, but since the market is moving that way, I wouldn't be surprised if they implemented it soon. My plans to increase the usage of Wazuh or switch to another tool depend on what my boss decides. We don't refer to any community support specifically, as we rely on other platforms such as GitHub or Discord, depending on the application. I recommend that as more companies come on board with Wazuh, it will motivate those who contribute to it, but I am also cautious that as it gains attention, a large company might buy it and change its course of business. Overall, I rate Wazuh a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a complete solution package."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"We use it to find any aberration in our endpoint devices. For example, if someone installs a game on their company laptop, Wazuh will detect it and inform us of the unauthorized software or unintended use of the devices provided by the company."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"Wazuh's logging features integrate seamlessly with AWS cloud-native services. There are also Wazuh agent configurations for different use cases, like vulnerability scanning, host-based intrusion detection, and file integrity monitoring."
"I would recommend Wazuh to others."
"I find the PCI DSS feature the most valuable, along with the feature that monitors the compliance of Windows and the CIS benchmarks on other devices like Unix or Linux systems."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be improved."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is distributed architecture and it uses Elastic DB. Their Elastic DB doesn't allow open source waste application."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is six out of ten."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"Wazuh is free and open source."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"Wazuh is a cheaply priced product."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"The current pricing is open source."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
