"The most valuable features are customizing reports, and the ability to drill down to display critical information in real-time."

"The product works well with other products."
"This solution offers one view of incident management which has been the most valuable feature."
"The traffic log information we receive from Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is valuable."

"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"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."

"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"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 technical support takes at least two days to reply on any ticket post raised on their website."
"The integration with other vendors for log collection could be enhanced."
"FortiAnalyzer only integrates with Fortinet solutions. That is a limitation because many organizations use multiple vendors. It's often a mixture of Cisco network hardware and equipment from other vendors, such as switches, access points, etc."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer should come bundled with other Fortinet solutions. Additionally, the performance and updates could improve. They need to test their updates better so there are not as many bugs."
"The setup of the solution can be improved because it is currently complex."
"They need to make the monitor better."
"We are concerned about the compliance of our policy and institutional philosophy."
"They could improve the user interface a bit."

"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"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."
"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."
"They could include flexibility and customization capabilities by modifying for customers based on partner agreements."
