Enables automated threat intelligence sorting and enhances proactive threat hunting capabilities
You have to have at least a threat intelligence background or a SOC analyst background to use it, as that's the information you'll dig around with in there. If you don't have that kind of knowledge, it probably can be a little hard to use, but they do provide training. They offer training not only for how to use the platform but also some basic threat intelligence training to explain what these things are and what these terms mean. My company is a customer of Anomali. I would recommend it to other people. I would advise making sure you don't pick it without testing other products and have your use cases well thought out and documented before testing, so you know it will solve the problems you're trying to address. Keep an open mind with it and realize that whatever you can dream of, you can probably do with the platform. Overall, I would rate Anomali an eight out of ten.

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

"The most valuable aspect of Anomali is the threat modeling capability."
"We now have a very robust collection of threat intelligence based on the capabilities that Anomali provides."
"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"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."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
 

Cons

"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"An area for improvement is the intelligence sharing within the Anomali community. The tagging system can be inconsistent, as any company can use any tags for their reporting."
"Support in the past has been top-notch, but recent trends indicate that it has taken a back seat, as we often don't get answers for days."
"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"An issue I noticed is with tag values in certain rules not functioning properly."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"Wazuh currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
"Integration with Vyara could be better."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"They have a good pricing strategy for market expansion."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"When I contacted customer care, they mentioned bundling options, that I found to be overall affordable."
"We use the free version of Wazuh."
