An easy-to-use solution that could improve it’s website-scouring capabilities

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."
"We found the MITRE framework mapping and the agent enrollment service to be the most valuable features of Wazuh."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"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."
"I find the PCI DSS feature the most valuable, along with the feature that monitors the compliance of Windows and the CIS benchmarks on other devices like Unix or Linux systems."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"Log data analysis could be improved. My IT team has been looking for an alternative because they want better log data for malware detection. We are also doing more container implementation also, so we need better container security, log data analysis, auditing and compliance, malware detection, etc."
"Wazuh doesn't cover sources of events as well as Splunk. You can integrate Splunk with many sources of events, but it's a painful process to take care of some sources of events with Wazuh."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"I want more support for regional compliance standards to serve my ANZ region customers better."
"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 free-of-cost solution."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Wazuh is a cheaply priced product."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
"When I contacted customer care, they mentioned bundling options, that I found to be overall affordable."
