Good quality ransomware antivirus that provides automatic patch management
Bitdefender GravityZone XDR is a good quality ransomware antivirus product. We like it because it's an industry-quality antivirus as opposed to some of the better-known ones like Symantec or Norton. Bitdefender has a better reputation for being up-to-date and picking up more threats. Patch management is important to keeping companies secure. The solution has an automatic patch management capability. Customers never find their software or operating systems vulnerable because Bitdefender would have automatically patched them. Bitdefender sells XDR and EDR products, but we tend to stop at the EDR level. BitDefender has lots of modules if people want to pay for them. We primarily push encryption patching and antivirus and integrate that into the security operations center.

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

"Scalability is pretty easy. It's easy to increase the capacity. You can just add on licenses to the existing license, and the duration of the license can be adjusted. For example, you've already bought a license for a year, and you want to add some more users. We can just add on licenses for the remaining period so that the entire organization can have the same expiry date. That makes renewal easier."
"The solution has an automatic patch management capability."
"It provides an in-depth analysis and gives recommendations, along with a historical search capability."
"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."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"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 offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"Regarding Wazuh, I find the SCA (Security Configuration Assessment) features most valuable. It's crucial for asset management and inventory, allowing us to monitorendpoints and servers' changes easily. This is particularly important for my customers, who aren't heavily focused on incident response but rely on asset management and inventories. Wazuh's compliance management features are very supportive, especially in regions like the Americas and Europe. However, it's less effective in the ANZ (Australia and New Zealand) region since Wazuh doesn't cater to the specific compliance standards there, such as those required in Australia. I appreciate that Wazuh fully complies with PCI DSS and GDPR standards, allowing us to generate necessary reports."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"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

"Another area of improvement is CPU utilization. CPU utilization could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"It's not very mature, and additional costs are involved."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is distributed architecture and it uses Elastic DB. Their Elastic DB doesn't allow open source waste application."
"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."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"It's not the price of the software itself that makes it expensive. It's because you have to buy a VM; you have to buy additional hardware. All those things make it slightly costlier."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool, which means it is freely available for use."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"Wazuh is a cheaply priced product."
