Pros
"It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system.""It's a robust, mature product and you can do some really complex operations and analytics.""Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive.""The ESM use cases are the most valuable. It enables us to use the big data collection inside our company. We are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM solution.""In terms of ArcSight Logger's most valuable feature, it is their scalability. ArcSight's real advantage is its scalability because they have two layers, including the logger layer.""The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable.""It's a brilliant log collection tool, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of servers in a single shot to ingest the data.""The machine learning is a good feature."

"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring.""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.""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.""Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors.""It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection.""I like Wazuh because it is a lot like ELK, which I was already comfortable with, so I didn't have to learn from scratch.""I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack.""Wazuh has very flexible and robust features."

Cons
"We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow.""The solution could be improved in maintenance settings.""We have had problems with archiving.""I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory.""I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency.""The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved.""The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications.""The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"Some features, like alerting, are complex with Wazuh.""There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution.""They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux.""The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support.""Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions.""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.""Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality.""It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."

Using security data connectors, ADP collects data and enriches it in real-time to give analysts organized information that can be acted upon instantly.

    Wazuh is an enterprise-ready platform used for security monitoring. It is a free and open-source platform that is used for threat detection, incident response and compliance, and integrity monitoring. Wazuh is capable of protecting workloads across virtualized, on-premises, containerized, and cloud-based environments.

    It consists of an endpoint security agent and a management server. Additionally, Wazuh is fully integrated with the Elastic Stack, allowing users the ability to navigate through security alerts via a data visualization tool.

    • Wazuh’s agent can run on many different platforms, and is lightweight. It can successfully perform the tasks needed to detect threats in order to trigger responses automatically.
    • Wazuh manages the agents, can analyze agent data, and can scale horizontally.

    Wazuh Capabilities

    Some of Wazuh’s most notable capabilities include:

    • Intrusion detection: Wazuh’s agents can detect hidden files, cloaked processes, or unregistered network listeners, as well as inconsistencies in system call responses. Wazuh’s server component uses a signature-based approach to intrusion detection, using its regular expression engine to analyze collected log data and look for indicators of compromise.

    • Log data analysis: Wazuh can read operating system and application logs, and securely forward them to a central manager for rule-based analysis and storage.

    • Integrity monitoring: File integrity monitoring can help identify changes in content, ownership, permissions, and attribute of files. Wazuh’s file integrity monitoring can be used in conjunction with threat intelligence.

    • Vulnerability detection: Wazuh agents can identify well-known vulnerable software so you can see where your weak spots are and take action before an attack can exploit them.

    • Configuration assessment: System and application configurations are monitored to make sure they are compliant with security policies. Periodic scans are used to detect applications that are known to be vulnerable, insecurely configured, or unpatched.
    • Incident response: Wazuh responds actively when active threats need to be addressed. It can perform countermeasures like blocking access to a system when a threat source is identified.

    • Regulatory compliance: Wazuh includes the security controls required to be compliant with industry regulations and standards.

    • Cloud security: Wazuh’s light-weight and multi-platform agents are commonly used to monitor cloud environments at the instance level. In addition, Wazuh helps monitor cloud infrastructure at an API level.
