Customization and automation streamline workflows for seamless operations
The features of Rapid7 InsightOps that I have found most valuable are the predefined policies and the use of correlation rules, which are very valuable because they eliminate the need to spend time creating those rules. This feature detects insider threats or compromised credentials by using user behavior analytics, which can collect other compromise indicators. It makes it easier to install and implement this solution because you can run it as normal behavior of users and then switch off to look for the anomalous behavior of any entities, such as laptops and others. In any violation or restricted behavior, the system will notify you that something unusual is occurring. The machine learning algorithms in Rapid7 InsightIDR for threat detection work quite effectively as part of the user entity behavior analytic model, allowing us to focus group normal typical behavior of users and then turn on the rule to spot any unexpected behavior. The automation features of Rapid7 InsightOps are quite satisfactory, as users appreciate these features, especially when integrating with the ticketing system. If something goes wrong, InsightOps will notify the ticketing system to create a ticket and assign it to the responsible person to handle the events found in the infrastructure. The customizable dashboards in Rapid7 InsightOps are quite valuable and interesting because SOC center operators spend most of their time investigating on those dashboards, making them easy to manage. Additionally, we can configure email reports for high-level talks, sending historical data without needing to look online, which is very convenient.

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.

Pros

"The machine learning algorithms in Rapid7 InsightIDR for threat detection work quite effectively as part of the user entity behavior analytic model, allowing us to focus group normal typical behavior of users and then turn on the rule to spot any unexpected behavior."
"Once you start using InsightIDR, which works hand in glove with InsightOps, you will feel like you were operating in the stone age before."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"We get way more out of it than we did with SecureWorks and we pay about a third of the price."
"My advice to others is this is an easy-to-use solution and they should try it out."
"The log aggregation and research capabilities are definitely what pays for itself."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"The solution is easy to maintain."
"The MITRE ATT&CK correlation is most valuable."
"It's a simple solution you can try for free, and you can get support."
"It's stable."
 

Cons

"The searching capability, or when you ask real time questions, is pretty decent but it's still not up to par with, say, Splunk."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"There were some difficulties in product setup, but after those issues were resolved, there were no issues."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"There's not much I like about Wazuh. Other products I've used were a lot more functional and user friendly."
"Wazuh doesn't have native support for some enterprise solutions."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"The technical support can be improved. Wazuh has some bugs that need to be fixed. It would be good if we can have automation with respect to incidence responses."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"There is room for improvement by integrating more AI into Wazuh. It requires constant nurturing, as I have to provide it with code and specific requirements."
"The implementation is very complex."

"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
