Featured Reviews

Vinay Patel D N - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective with good log analytics but needs better rule correlation
The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk. Sometimes logs will not fetch, and there are issues if the log volume exceeds a threshold. Not every tool is integrated with Sumo Logic. The response time for their support could be better, and it is not very user-friendly.
Sandip_Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
Evaluating robust file monitoring with insights for community support improvements
Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs. These aspects are vital as they provide alerts for changes and facilitate the monitoring of compliance. The platform is also relatively easy to set up and operate. Reports are straightforward to extract and prove useful for compliance requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"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."
"It's stable."
"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."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
 

Cons

"The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"The API integration in Sumo Logic Security could improve. There are delayed connections or they stop and then automatically start. Having a seamless log collection would be beneficial."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"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."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."
"If we went to ELK Stack, which is open source, it would have been less costly, but it would have required more development from our side."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"The pricing is a little high, but for the features that we receive from Sumo Logic, it suits the price. For some small organizations, the price might be a little high."
"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"The product is costly."
"The AWS Marketplace pricing is borderline. Every annual renewal, we always contemplate if we are getting what we think we could out of it or could we do it cheaper with some other product."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
"The current pricing is open source."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"Wazuh is free and open source."
"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 has a community edition, and I was using that. It's free and open source."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
