System Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Threat detection has improved and investigations gain speed but documentation still needs work
I wish the documentation had more practical, step-by-step examples, especially for building and testing custom correlation rules. I do not use the threat intel feeds as much right now, but I would like to explore adding them later if it is straightforward. SIEMonster can be improved by providing better step-by-step documentation for custom correlation rules, which would help a lot. An easier way to test rules before putting them into production would also reduce mistakes and save time. I would also like to add more about the needed improvements. The UI could be a bit more intuitive, especially around investigating alerts versus raw logs, and smoother integration with common ticketing tools would make hands-off tracking easier.

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

"The correlation rules and alerting speed stand out for me because they cut down the time between log spikes and action, and the alert context, when it includes related events, really helps us understand what happened without jumping between too many screens."
"It's very easy to integrate Wazuh with other environments, cloud applications, and on-prem applications. So, the advantage is that it's easy to implement and integrate with other solutions."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"Other than that, it's a highly recommended product from our side, and we wish that this product had intel support."
"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."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
 

Cons

"I would also like to add more about the needed improvements. The UI could be a bit more intuitive, especially around investigating alerts versus raw logs, and smoother integration with common ticketing tools would make hands-off tracking easier."
"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."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"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 does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"The lack of AI features is an issue at the moment in the industry."
"There is room for improvement by integrating more AI into Wazuh. It requires constant nurturing, as I have to provide it with code and specific requirements."
"Wazuh currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool, which means it is freely available for use."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"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 open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
