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 Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"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."
"Its cost-effectiveness is the most valuable aspect."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"It's stable."
"I find the PCI DSS feature the most valuable, along with the feature that monitors the compliance of Windows and the CIS benchmarks on other devices like Unix or Linux systems."
"I like the cloud-native infrastructure and that it's free. We didn't have to pay anything, and it has the capabilities of many premium solutions in the market. We could integrate all of our services and infrastructure in the cloud with Wazuh. From an integration point of view, Wazuh is pretty good. I had a good experience with this platform."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"The interface could be improved."
"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."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"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."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"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."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"The implementation is very complex."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"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."
