Dipesh Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Has the ability to categorize alerts and reporting dashboards are useful
The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively. The ability to categorize alerts and the reporting dashboards are valuable features. AI-driven analysis aids in identifying critical alerts, and real-time threat detection improves our response time.
AKASH MAJUMDER - PeerSpot reviewer
Open-source platform with custom alerting
There are three key strengths of Wazuh that stand out to me. Firstly, Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms the Elastic Stack. Wazuh has achieved this by running a config or a sec in the background, which has improved the XBR for endpoint security significantly. Secondly, Wazuh comes with built-in frameworks, such as the NISC and ISO, that make it easy to comply with various industry standards. We didn't need to configure any custom frameworks for this, as Wazuh had it built in. Lastly, Wazuh has the ability to collect terabytes of data within seconds, which is a crucial feature for modern enterprises dealing with large amounts of data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is effective because it has threat intelligence from across the world and constantly checks and updates for new threats."
"The main thing is the value proposition. It is one of the most sophisticated yet affordable solutions that I've come across. It is also one of the easiest-to-manage yet comprehensive solutions for a SOC analyst. Its customizations are really good, and it has a lot of integrations. It is multi-tenant and very fast to onboard. Its stability is 100%. We've never had an outage with it. It doesn't require extensive hardware resources. Its level of support is also very good. They have a very responsive technical team."
"I like that it's an AI-based platform. The most valuable feature is that it's a comprehensive solution. Most tools in the marketplace are comprised of miscellaneous items. They fail to provide real-time remediation features. However, with Seceon Open Threat Management Platform, anything you can think of in cybersecurity, like auto-remediation, real-time response, and even on-premise components, is available in a single platform. So, it's perfect for finance and healthcare who don't want to share their data with a third party like the cloud. You can have this on-premise as well. So, the expenditure will be lower as less human intervention is required."
"The solution is stable."
"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."
"The solution is very cost-effective compared to Splunk and LogRhythm."
"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."
"The most valuable features are behaviour analytics, threat intelligence, endpoint detection, and response features."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The tool is stable."
"The product is easy to customize."
"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
 

Cons

"It is a standalone solution now. They need to make it into a cloud-based subscription model. It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions. It can also have more threats and deeper integration with Microsoft."
"The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release."
"The management console could use some enhancements."
"The SOP they provided wasn't great. They offered training over Sherp Virtualization, and the Seceon leadership visited our location to explain everything in detail, but the documentation and training could be better. It isn't as effective as it could be. There's some room for improvement there."
"The product should improve the triggering rate."
"The dashboard has always been an issue."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform sells some add-ons as part of the whole suite but not individually. If they sold them individually, they could potentially attract more business."
"We are at the client’s end, offering services. They don’t know about security rules and benchmarks. We are working on the discovery and remediation but we don’t really have the intelligence that was available while working with other tools. Human working is also very essential for the solution. The automatic session is impossible to play since it needs to touch Redfin for further analysis. No one has breached our clients."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"I think that the next release should be more suitable for large enterprises, because currently they are not because large companies do not rely on open source solutions."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"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."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."
"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"The product is cheaper compared to other tools."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool."
"The solution's cost is above the average."
