We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Wazuh based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."
"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."
"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 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."
"The product is easy to customize."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
"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."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is distributed architecture and it uses Elastic DB. Their Elastic DB doesn't allow open source waste application."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"I think that the next release should be more suitable for large enterprises, because currently they are not because large companies do not rely on open source solutions."
