Featured Reviews

Tony Zafiropoulos - PeerSpot reviewer
Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while. As for the main differences between Graylog Security and other vendors, some users might prefer cloud-based platforms over on-premises solutions. It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.
Ebenezer Okoh - PeerSpot reviewer
Innovative platform enables proactive threat hunting and endpoint monitoring
I have not seen Wazuh moving in the direction of AI-driven threat detection projects myself, but since the market is moving that way, I wouldn't be surprised if they implemented it soon. My plans to increase the usage of Wazuh or switch to another tool depend on what my boss decides. We don't refer to any community support specifically, as we rely on other platforms such as GitHub or Discord, depending on the application. I recommend that as more companies come on board with Wazuh, it will motivate those who contribute to it, but I am also cautious that as it gains attention, a large company might buy it and change its course of business. Overall, I rate Wazuh a nine out of ten.

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."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"Some of the strengths of Wazuh that stand out for us include its scalability when deployed on Azure, its open-source nature, which allows for customization based on our needs, and its compatibility with various security solutions like threat intelligence platforms."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"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."
"Integration with Vyara could be better."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"Wazuh currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"When I face a challenge, I prefer not to spend too much time on it and may move to another solution that will give us the results."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"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 an open-source tool."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool, which means it is freely available for use."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
