Cons

"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"There is room for improvement by integrating more AI into Wazuh. It requires constant nurturing, as I have to provide it with code and specific requirements."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"A more structured approach, perhaps with modular UI components, to facilitate easier integration and navigation within the Wazuh platform for custom integrations would be beneficial."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"Wazuh has a drawback with regard to Unix systems. The solution does not allow us to do real-time monitoring for Unix systems. If usage increases, it would be a heavy fall on the other SIEM solutions or event monitoring solutions."
