We performed a comparison between SolarWinds Security Event Manager and Wazuh based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."SolarWinds Security Event Manager has been generally working well."
"SolarWinds is easy to configure, and it provides timely alerts."
"It's easy to build rules and actions based on the logs and event types we collect with the software."
"It's extremely easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"SolarWinds is effective for server, network, and log monitoring. It's also good for IP address management. We also have a patch manager, but we're still working on getting that operational."
"This tool is simple to use."
"Some of the rules are most valuable because you can be notified about various things, such as spyware or things that are going on in the internal network."
"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."
"It's very easy to integrate Wazuh with other environments, cloud applications, and on-prem applications. So, the advantage is that it's easy to implement and integrate with other solutions."
"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."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"I would like to be able to dig deeper into the visibility of events or incidents to determine whether they are malicious, such as by doing behavior analysis."
"It is a very technical program. They can simplify it so that it isn't so hard to deal with."
"SolarWinds should improve its correlation capabilities. The correlation does not automatically detect and reduce the events fast enough. You have to manually do a correlation report, which means the tool is not scalable in many ways."
"The product should improve the ease with which you can create event alerts. They are not as hard now but you need to have an easier way."
"The company had to use a third party for the implementation of the solution."
"The only issue is the pricetag. SolarWinds is a costly solution."
"There are no multiple dashboards which would allow you to see information side-by-side."
"I imagine we will have to develop our own reports soon, this seems to be more cumbersome."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"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."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"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."
"Log data analysis could be improved. My IT team has been looking for an alternative because they want better log data for malware detection. We are also doing more container implementation also, so we need better container security, log data analysis, auditing and compliance, malware detection, etc."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
