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.

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 user interface is very good."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The support system is very good."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer was a lower-cost alternative, and it was easier to install and manage."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"I like Wazuh because it is a lot like ELK, which I was already comfortable with, so I didn't have to learn from scratch."
"Wazuh's logging features integrate seamlessly with AWS cloud-native services. There are also Wazuh agent configurations for different use cases, like vulnerability scanning, host-based intrusion detection, and file integrity monitoring."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"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."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"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."
"It's a simple solution you can try for free, and you can get support."
 

Cons

"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven."
"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."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"A more structured approach, perhaps with modular UI components, to facilitate easier integration and navigation within the Wazuh platform for custom integrations would be beneficial."
"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."
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
"The biggest part that's missing is threat intelligence. It isn't inbuilt, and if a sudden incident occurs, we don't get that feedback inside the SIEM tool. That's a big gap, I see. It would be better if we could get the threat intelligence feeds integrated with the SIEM tools. That would help us push value solutions to the clients in a big way."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
