Alessandra Amorim - PeerSpot reviewer
Can be used to monitor a specific log or do specific actions, but its initial setup is not so easy
I have some customers using SolarWinds Log Analyzer to put some conditions on monitoring information from Windows servers and Linux servers. They use SolarWinds Log Analyzer to see if these conditions appear, and if they appear, generate a notification so that they can investigate what happened…
Sandip_Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer works for specific conditions, like when someone needs to monitor a specific log or do specific actions."
"I like the features we use, including malware detection, inventory, detection of hidden processes, and activity logs. Inventory is probably the most important feature. It tells us when processes and packages were installed and what they are, which is helpful."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"My company implemented Wazuh because it was relatively inexpensive. They could quickly get their hands on it to check a box for some audit and compliance."

"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."

Cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
