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 features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"The Log Analytics platform is the most effective. If we cannot find the data in other tools, like email security or NDR, we can fetch those logs in the Log Analytics platform of Sumo Logic."
"We found the MITRE framework mapping and the agent enrollment service to be the most valuable features of Wazuh."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"My company implemented Wazuh because it was relatively inexpensive. They could quickly get their hands on it to check a box for some audit and compliance."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"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."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is its EDR capabilities."
"It's stable."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have an improved ability to scroll through logs within a time frame. Right now, we can search for specific errors. However, if we want to look for "before and after" within a specific time frame, it's not easy using the tool. This would be an improvement."
"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."
"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."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"The implementation is very complex."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"Integration with Vyara could be better."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"An issue I noticed is with tag values in certain rules not functioning properly."
"Wazuh currently fails to provide its users with AI and ML."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"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 pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"The AWS Marketplace pricing is fairly reasonable for what it does. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap. It is pretty good."
"The product is costly."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"The solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Wazuh is a cheaply priced product."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"Wazuh is totally free and open source. There are no licensing costs, only support costs if you need them."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
