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."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"Wazuh automatically scans the host for CIS benchmarks for the latest updates and vulnerabilities and gives a host score. It provides a percentage of perceived risk due to of non patches or any missing patches on that work."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"I think that the next release should be more suitable for large enterprises, because currently they are not because large companies do not rely on open source solutions."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"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."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
"Wazuh is open-source, therefore it is free. You can purchase support for $1,000 a year."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"Wazuh has a community edition, and I was using that. It's free and open source."
"We use the free version of Wazuh."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
