Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.
Sudarson Prabhu - PeerSpot reviewer

File integrity monitoring has strengthened our data protection and supports compliance needs
I expected one thing from the dashboard in Wazuh. In ManageEngine, when you use ManageEngine, you can assign a unique ID to all employees. Then with the unique ID, if you search any unique ID in the dashboard itself, you can get the unique ID everywhere, including where the laptop has been logged in, when the logout happened, and what actions have been done for that unique ID. I expected the same in Wazuh, but whenever we want to check any monitoring activities for a specific person, we need to search for the endpoint and then get the endpoint details from our Active Directory or wherever we have the endpoint name stored in our resources, and then search for the endpoint to see the history for that specific endpoint only. This made a simple thing a bit complex. If we had a correlation of logs where I could just search one unique ID and then the unique ID pulls every system in a time-wise manner, that would be a great improvement I would suggest.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was very simple and straightforward, according to our security team."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The support system is very good."
"Our primary use case for this solution is detecting issues to provide customers with information."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"We use the solution because it is granular."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"Other than that, it's a highly recommended product from our side, and we wish that this product had intel support."
"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."
"The solution is easy to maintain."
"My company implemented Wazuh because it was relatively inexpensive. They could quickly get their hands on it to check a box for some audit and compliance."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"I like the features we use, including malware detection, inventory, detection of hidden processes, and activity logs. Inventory is probably the most important feature. It tells us when processes and packages were installed and what they are, which is helpful."
 

Cons

"The first tier of customer service and support is not great, and additional upgrades could be included."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"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."
"Some features, like alerting, are complex with Wazuh."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud. They need better cloud integration."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is distributed architecture and it uses Elastic DB. Their Elastic DB doesn't allow open source waste application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."

"Wazuh is free and open source."

"Wazuh is open-source, therefore it is free. You can purchase support for $1,000 a year."
