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."It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"We use it to find any aberration in our endpoint devices. For example, if someone installs a game on their company laptop, Wazuh will detect it and inform us of the unauthorized software or unintended use of the devices provided by the company."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is distributed architecture and it uses Elastic DB. Their Elastic DB doesn't allow open source waste application."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"There's not much I like about Wazuh. Other products I've used were a lot more functional and user friendly. They came with reports and use cases out of the box. We need to configure Wazuh's alerts and monitoring capabilities manually. It'd be nice if we could select from templates and presets for use cases already built and coded."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
