Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
I feed different data points to the tool and review them.  The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place.  I have been working with the product for a few years.  If you have the resources for it, the product is stable. I rate it a ten out of ten.  We use the tool's scalable cloud…

Has excellent scalability when deployed on Azure
We primarily use Wazuh for internal security monitoring to ensure the safety of our organization's internal systems. We have two specific requirements: first, we use it to monitor our internal operations, which is essential for general security purposes. Second, we rely on Wazuh to manage the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution to collect logs."
"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"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."
"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"The tool is stable."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
"The technical support can be improved. Wazuh has some bugs that need to be fixed. It would be good if we can have automation with respect to incidence responses."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"I want more support for regional compliance standards to serve my ANZ region customers better."
"There's not much I like about Wazuh. Other products I've used were a lot more functional and user friendly. They came with reports and use cases out of the box. We need to configure Wazuh's alerts and monitoring capabilities manually. It'd be nice if we could select from templates and presets for use cases already built and coded."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"When I contacted customer care, they mentioned bundling options, that I found to be overall affordable."
"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."
"We use the free version of Wazuh."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool, which means it is freely available for use."
