"The user interface is good and it is quite easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to integrate."
"The log events are quite useful for us."
"FortiAnalyzer has a user-friendly interface with a quick response and good analytics. It's very secure because it's taking the log from the devices on a secure channel, so there is no problem with that in your network."
"Many of my clients are financial institutions that transmit files from around the country across a VPN. In a setup like this, it's helpful to have a centralized dashboard to manage firewalls and other security solutions across a distributed environment. You can do all sorts of analysis and configure it to trigger alarms."
"The product can scale."
"The solution is quite easy to deploy."
"The analyzer is the most valuable feature."
"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"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 offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"It's stable."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"It is a stable solution."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"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."
"We are concerned about the compliance of our policy and institutional philosophy."
"Software reports are good but should match the dashboard and include top-level output instead of just base or low-level devices."
"From my point of view, at this time, the solution isn't lacking any features or functionalities."
"Technical support could respond to queries faster."
"Pricing-wise, it not affordable for the normal customer. Most of the people want to see different types of reporting, but FortiAnalyzer's fee is a little bit difficult."
"It would be good if the product could provide data about the websites users visit."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer needs to have more out-of-the-box connectors for integration with other solutions."
"The technical support is not very good."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"Wazuh has a drawback with regard to Unix systems. The solution does not allow us to do real-time monitoring for Unix systems. If usage increases, it would be a heavy fall on the other SIEM solutions or event monitoring solutions."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"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."
"Wazuh doesn't cover sources of events as well as Splunk. You can integrate Splunk with many sources of events, but it's a painful process to take care of some sources of events with Wazuh."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
