Find out in this report how the two Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are ransomware protection and access controls. The solution has helped us secure some folders on our systems from unauthorized modifications."
"The main feature is the security posture assessment through the security score. I find that to be very helpful because it gives us guidance on what needs to be secured and recommendations on how to secure the workloads that have been onboarded."
"Good compliance policies."
"Provides a very good view of the entire security setup of your organization."
"Using Security Center, you have a full view, at any given time, of what's deployed, and that is something that is very useful."
"Defender for Cloud is a plug-and-play solution that provides continuous posture management once enabled."
"It's got a lot of great features."
"It takes very little effort to integrate it. It also gives very good visibility into what exactly is happening."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"It's stable."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"The tool is stable."
"Wazuh has very flexible and robust features."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"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."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"Azure Security Center takes a long time to update, compared to the on-premises version of Microsoft Defender."
"I felt that there was disconnection in terms of understanding the UI. The communication for moving from the old UI to the new UI could be improved. It was a bit awkward."
"The initial setup is not actually so complex but it feels complex because there are many add-ons. There are many options and my team needs to be aware of all of these changes happening on the backend which is a distraction."
"The overview provides you with good information, but if you want more details, there is a lot more customization to do, which requires knowledge of the other supporting solutions."
"It needs to be simplified and made more user-friendly for a non-technical person."
"There is no perfect product in the world and there are always features that can be added."
"As an analyst, there is no way to configure or create a playbook to automate the process of flagging suspicious domains."
"Consistency is the area where the most improvement is needed. For example, there are some areas where the UI is not uniform across the board."
"The technical support can be improved. Wazuh has some bugs that need to be fixed. It would be good if we can have automation with respect to incidence responses."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"A more structured approach, perhaps with modular UI components, to facilitate easier integration and navigation within the Wazuh platform for custom integrations would be beneficial."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
