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.

Has faced limitations in AI capabilities and pricing flexibility
Pricing-wise, Wazuh stands out, along with deployment flexibility and its documentation which is extremely good in comparison to Forti. The community support is also incredible. They have helped quite a bit because previously, we had a separate tool and management dashboard to do our compliance. With Wazuh, we receive that information without having to do anything extra. We just set up the SIEM and all of that information was automatically populated. The dashboards are very easy to understand and very quick with no lag or delay. I have experienced delays on Forti's dashboards, but not with Wazuh. Wazuh is quite good. In comparison to Forti, they are quite similar. They are very good at detection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"We use the solution to collect logs."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
"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."
"Wazuh has very flexible and robust features."
"Stability-wise, Wazuh seems to have fixed all the past issues, and the latest version is possibly the most stable."
"The product is easy to customize."
"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."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"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."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"Wazuh needs more security features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"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."
"An issue I noticed is with tag values in certain rules not functioning properly."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"They have a good pricing strategy for market expansion."
"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."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"Wazuh is free and open source."
