Executive SummaryUpdated on Aug 25, 2025

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.8
Dynatrace boosts efficiency and cuts costs through automation, tool consolidation, enhanced monitoring, and improved application performance and stability.
Sentiment score
4.4
Wazuh offers significant ROI through reduced detection times and cost-effectiveness, benefiting small and medium businesses financially.
ROI is hard to specify; however, incidents like impending ransomware attacks highlight its value, though those are exceptional events.
I have seen value in security cost savings with Wazuh, as using proprietary EDR versions could save us substantial money.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.1
Dynatrace's support is friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive, though complex issues sometimes face extended resolution times.
Sentiment score
4.3
Wazuh support is effective for paid users, but open-source users face variability in community responsiveness and documentation use.
They have a good reputation, and the support is commendable.
The technical support from Dynatrace is excellent.
For Dynatrace tech support, we have a dedicated team here, which is easily reachable.
They responded quickly, which was crucial as I was on a time constraint.
We use the open-source version of Wazuh, which does not provide paid support.
The documentation is good and provides clear instructions, though it's targeted at those with technical backgrounds.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Dynatrace is highly scalable, handling large-scale environments efficiently with minimal overhead, though scaling costs can be a concern.
Sentiment score
6.6
Wazuh offers adaptable scaling, effective for most, despite challenges, excelling in compliance and endpoint management with varied scalability scores.
If it's an enterprise, increasing the number of instances doesn’t pose problems.
It can accommodate thousands of endpoints on one instance, and multiple instances can run for different clients.
Currently, I don't see any limitations in terms of scalability as Wazuh can still connect many endpoints.
Scalability depends on the configuration and the infrastructure resources like compute and memory we allocate.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Dynatrace is highly stable, with users praising its reliability, quick support for issues, and proactive development efforts.
Sentiment score
6.6
Wazuh's stability generally ranges from moderate to high, contingent on proper maintenance, updates, and user-specific technical environments.
Generally, all are stable at ninety-nine point nine nine percent, but if the underlying infrastructure is not deployed correctly, stability may be problematic.
There have been no stability issues with Dynatrace.
The stability of Wazuh is strong, with no issues stemming from the solution itself.
The stability of Wazuh is largely dependent on maintenance.
The indexer frequently times out, requiring system restarts.
 

Room For Improvement

Dynatrace users seek improved .NET support, customization, performance, security, integrations, support, pricing clarity, and interface simplification.
Wazuh requires enhanced interface usability, scalability, AI integration, and easier deployment, with improved reporting and native system integration.
The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
I'm specifically looking at AIOps and how we can monitor AIOps-related things, considering we have LLMs and all that stuff.
They have been the pioneers from inception, and they remain at the top of the Gartner chart.
Machine learning is needed along with understanding user behavior and behavioral patterns.
The integration modules are insufficiently developed, necessitating the creation of custom integration solutions using tools like Logstash and PubSub.
I think Wazuh should improve by introducing AI functionalities, as it would be beneficial to see AI incorporated in the threat hunting and detection functionalities.
 

Setup Cost

Dynatrace offers advanced monitoring but can be costly due to a complex pricing model and potential scaling expenses.
Wazuh is cost-effective for enterprises with open-source availability but incurs costs for infrastructure, support, and managed hosting.
Dynatrace is known to be costly, which delayed its integration into our system.
If I would ask you to rate price from 1 to 10, where 1 is cheap and 10 is expensive, how many points would you give to it?
Wazuh is completely free of charge.
I would definitely recommend Wazuh, especially considering Fortinet's licensing model which is confusing and overpriced in my opinion.
Totaling around two lakh Indian rupees per month.
 

Valuable Features

Dynatrace excels in transaction tracing, AI analysis, and comprehensive visibility, enhancing operational efficiency with real-time insights and easy deployment.
Wazuh offers customizable open-source security solutions with SIEM, MITRE, and compliance tools for cloud-native, Kubernetes, and Azure environments.
The integration with Power BI for generating detailed reports is a standout feature.
Dynatrace's AI-driven Davis engine absolutely helps identify performance issues by showing root cause analysis for us up to 200%; whatever is integrated, if it is visible, it can stitch and show.
Graduation features offered by Dynatrace provide a single view and can connect with many other monitoring systems.
Wazuh is a SIEM tool that is highly customizable and versatile.
The system allows us to monitor endpoints effectively and collect security data that can be utilized across other platforms such as SOAR.
With this open source tool, organizations can establish their own customized setup.

Featured Reviews

Anand_Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a comprehensive view by integrating with other monitoring systems
There may be an issue since there are many tools like Splunk involved in network monitoring. From an IP perspective, Dynatrace is performing well. If they want to develop in network monitoring, they can, as it's part of their product line. It's not rocketry, so they can accomplish it. If I, as an SI, look at it from an enterprise perspective, considering the cost from the client, I prefer not to go with multiple systems, as they don't provide a complete 360-degree view. They need to improve on claims about being an enterprise system. The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
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.
