Featured Reviews

Abdullah Secca - PeerSpot reviewer
Valuable monitoring and integration features boost compliance
They are not in the US market, and the quality of support has declined. They migrated operations from Boston to Denmark, and we cannot use a tool hosted outside the country. Additionally, dealing with foreign entities for support was a challenge, leading us to switch providers due to lack of adequate support.
Sandip_Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
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 main advantage of Logpoint is the support service. They reply within ten minutes to an hour to our queries."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the combination of the software and the support that they have."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The solution's user interface is quite simple, and the integration is better than other products."
"The search feature is valuable. The dashboards are also valuable for our bosses. Another valuable feature, which is the main feature of the product, is the centralization of all the logs."
"The UEBA component, as well as the SOAR component, are some of the most valuable features of Logpoint."
"In my experience with medium-sized operations, LogPoint's scalability is excellent, so I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"We like the user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and find it valuable."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"The tool is stable."
"I find the PCI DSS feature the most valuable, along with the feature that monitors the compliance of Windows and the CIS benchmarks on other devices like Unix or Linux systems."
"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
 

Cons

"It is complicated to collect daily logs from other systems."
"One of the downsides is it is not a SaaS solution. It must be on-premises."
"Nowadays the trend is going towards the ransomware and the endpoint detection and response. So if they added something for that, that will be very, very good."
"Sometimes, the product is not stable."
"The interface needs things like wizards that will assist with creating complex correlation rules."
"I know that they have user behavior analytics, but it's an extra cost for this feature. It would be nice if it was in with the standard products."
"Dashboards could be developed further."
"Logpoint is not flexible. Its documentation is not user-friendly."
"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 only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"An issue I noticed is with tag values in certain rules not functioning properly."
"Wazuh currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
"It would be better if they had a vulnerability assessment plug-in like the one AlienVault has. In the next release, I would like to have an app with an alerting mechanism."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was on a yearly basis at about $100K. It was not a huge environment. We were running it on our own virtual server environment, which, of course, had a cost. There was hardware and some energy cost, and then there were Microsoft Windows licenses for servers. That's all, but there was nothing in comparison to the licensing costs."
"It has a fixed price, which is what I like about LogPoint. I bought the system and paid for it, and I pay maintenance. It is not a consumption model. Most SIEMs or most of the log management systems are consumption-based, which means that you pay for how many logs you have in the system. That's a real problem because logs can grow very quickly in different circumstances, and when you have a variable price model, you never know what you're going to pay. Splunk is notoriously expensive for that reason. If you use Splunk or QRadar, it becomes expensive because there are not just the logs; you also have to parse the logs and create indexes. Those indexes can be very expensive in terms of space. Therefore, if they charge you by this space, you can end up paying a significant amount of money. It can be more than what you expect to pay. I like the fact that LogPoint has a fixed cost. I know what I'm going to pay on a yearly basis. I pay that, and I pay the maintenance, and I just make it work."
"For a hundred user deployment the cost is about $10,000. The next year it would be the same because it's a subscription-based license. There are separate costs as well, for example, if a customer asks for training for their staff."
"My company used to pay for LogPoint costs annually. It's a cost-effective solution. I'm not part of the Finance team, though, so I'm not sure exactly what the licensing fee is or what license my company had."
"Our licensing fees are about $10,000 USD per month, which I think is fair."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I would rate LogPoint's pricing a seven. It is not very expensive compared to some of the more costly products, and it is not very cheap compared to some of the cheaper products in the SIEM market."
"It's getting more expensive, which is one of the reasons we're looking around just to see if there's anything better value."
"Logpoint's pricing is mid-ranged and depends on the number of devices."
"Wazuh is a cheaply priced product."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool."
"It is an open-source product."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool, which means it is freely available for use."
