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."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"We use the solution because it is granular."
"The initial setup was very simple and straightforward, according to our security team."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"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."
"Other than that, it's a highly recommended product from our side, and we wish that this product had intel support."
"The product is easy to customize."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations."
"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."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"Integration with Vyara could be better."
"The implementation is very complex."
"Wazuh's scalability and out-of-the-box functionality are slightly lagging behind, but Wazuh has improved a lot since the first time we saw it."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
"The product's configuration part and lack of AI capabilities are some of the major concerns associated with Wazuh."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"Wazuh has a drawback with regard to Unix systems. The solution does not allow us to do real-time monitoring for Unix systems. If usage increases, it would be a heavy fall on the other SIEM solutions or event monitoring solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
"There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."
"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
"We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."
"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"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."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"The current pricing is open source."
"Wazuh is open-source, so I think it's an option for a small organization that cannot go for enterprise-grade solutions like Splunk."
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
