Can be used to monitor a specific log or do specific actions, but its initial setup is not so easy

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer works for specific conditions, like when someone needs to monitor a specific log or do specific actions."
"The product is easy to customize."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"Some of the strengths of Wazuh that stand out for us include its scalability when deployed on Azure, its open-source nature, which allows for customization based on our needs, and its compatibility with various security solutions like threat intelligence platforms."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is its EDR capabilities."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
 

Cons

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer should deliver more integrated products so you can manage the console and easily configure the solution."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is distributed architecture and it uses Elastic DB. Their Elastic DB doesn't allow open source waste application."
"So far, the recent updates have addressed most challenges we previously faced."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SolarWinds Log Analyzer is a cheap product."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Wazuh has a community edition, and I was using that. It's free and open source."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"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 open-source, therefore it is free. You can purchase support for $1,000 a year."
