"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors.""Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises.""Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation.""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.""One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability.""Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities.""Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance.""It's very easy to integrate Wazuh with other environments, cloud applications, and on-prem applications.

Cons
"The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications.""The initial setup was a little bit complex.""The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost.""The solution could be improved in maintenance settings.""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.""I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency.""The next release should have AI capabilities.""The console in older versions is not user-friendly."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"It would be better if they had a vulnerability assessment plug-in like the one AlienVault has. In the next release, I would like to have an app with an alerting mechanism.""Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions.""Its configuration process is time-consuming.""The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet.""Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs.""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.""Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage.""I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"

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.
