An easy-to-use solution that could improve it’s website-scouring capabilities
The solution is easy to use The solution could improve how it scours each website. We have used the solution for more than a year. The stability is very good, so I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium-sized…

Open-source platform with custom alerting
There are three key strengths of Wazuh that stand out to me. Firstly, Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms the Elastic Stack. Wazuh has achieved this by running a config or a sec in the background, which has improved the XBR for endpoint security significantly. Secondly, Wazuh comes with built-in frameworks, such as the NISC and ISO, that make it easy to comply with various industry standards. We didn't need to configure any custom frameworks for this, as Wazuh had it built in. Lastly, Wazuh has the ability to collect terabytes of data within seconds, which is a crucial feature for modern enterprises dealing with large amounts of data.

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."
"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."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"The MITRE ATT&CK correlation is most valuable."
"I like the cloud-native infrastructure and that it's free. We didn't have to pay anything, and it has the capabilities of many premium solutions in the market. We could integrate all of our services and infrastructure in the cloud with Wazuh. From an integration point of view, Wazuh is pretty good. I had a good experience with this platform."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is distributed architecture and it uses Elastic DB. Their Elastic DB doesn't allow open source waste application."
"The implementation is very complex."
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
"So far, the recent updates have addressed most challenges we previously faced."
"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."
"Wazuh doesn't have native support for some enterprise solutions."
"The product's configuration part and lack of AI capabilities are some of the major concerns associated with Wazuh."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
"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."
"Wazuh is open-source, but you must consider the total cost of ownership. It may be free to acquire, but you spend a lot of time and effort supporting the product and getting it to a point where it's useful."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool."
"They have a good pricing strategy for market expansion."
