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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use."
"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 Wazuh because it is a lot like ELK, which I was already comfortable with, so I didn't have to learn from scratch."
"We use it to find any aberration in our endpoint devices. For example, if someone installs a game on their company laptop, Wazuh will detect it and inform us of the unauthorized software or unintended use of the devices provided by the company."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution is easy to maintain."
"I like the features we use, including malware detection, inventory, detection of hidden processes, and activity logs. Inventory is probably the most important feature. It tells us when processes and packages were installed and what they are, which is helpful."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"An issue I noticed is with tag values in certain rules not functioning properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"The current pricing is open source."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
