Effective as a vector store, serverless architecture but there aren't enough security features
The pricing aspect is a concern. The service is way too costly. For the past month, I used only 30 to 40 MB of data, and the cost was $500. AWS could improve pricing. Even being serverless, it incurs charges during idle times. For just holding data, you need to create a list. AWS should add an option to make data idle, so it won't include computing charges. They charge for OCU units based on the time the serverless solution is up, not on indexing or retrieval speed. Once the service starts, it starts getting billed. It would help if there were an option to limit computing. When using it as a database, storing data without frequent fetching would save computing costs.

Has excellent scalability when deployed on Azure
We primarily use Wazuh for internal security monitoring to ensure the safety of our organization's internal systems. We have two specific requirements: first, we use it to monitor our internal operations, which is essential for general security purposes. Second, we rely on Wazuh to manage the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We retrieve historical data with just a click of a button to move it from cold to hot or warm because it's already stored in the backend storage"
"This service already sorts data like vectors. They have classified the storage pre-defined."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"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."
"I like the cloud-native infrastructure and that it's free. We didn't have to pay anything, and it has the capabilities of many premium solutions in the market. We could integrate all of our services and infrastructure in the cloud with Wazuh. From an integration point of view, Wazuh is pretty good. I had a good experience with this platform."
"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."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
 

Cons

"The pricing aspect is a concern. The service is way too costly. For the past month, I used only 30 to 40 MB of data, and the cost was $500. AWS could improve pricing."
"It would be beneficial to have some level of customization available in the managed service, tailored to the specific use cases of the end users."
"It would be better if they had a vulnerability assessment plug-in like the one AlienVault has. In the next release, I would like to have an app with an alerting mechanism."
"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."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
