Md Abdul Hakim - PeerSpot reviewer
System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited
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
Security Consultant at Payatu
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 reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."
"The user interface is very good."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The support system is very good."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"It's stable."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"Other than that, it's a highly recommended product from our side, and we wish that this product had intel support."
"Overall, I rate Wazuh a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users."
"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."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"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."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations."
"The product's configuration part and lack of AI capabilities are some of the major concerns associated with Wazuh."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"Integration with Vyara could be better."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud. They need better cloud integration."
"The lack of AI features is an issue at the moment in the industry."
