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…

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

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer works for specific conditions, like when someone needs to monitor a specific log or do specific actions."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"I would recommend Wazuh to others."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"The product is easy to customize."
"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."
 

Cons

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer should deliver more integrated products so you can manage the console and easily configure the solution."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"The technical support can be improved. Wazuh has some bugs that need to be fixed. It would be good if we can have automation with respect to incidence responses."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"The implementation is very complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer is a cheap product."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool."
"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."
"The current pricing is open source."
