We performed a comparison between ESET EDR/XDR and Wazuh based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Wazuh and others in Extended Detection and Response (XDR)."Within advanced threat hunting, the tables that have already been defined by Microsoft are helpful. In the advanced threat hunting tab, there were different tables, and one of the tables was related to device info, device alert, and device events. That was very helpful. Another feature that I liked but didn't have access to was deep analysis."
"We are able to consolidate licences and make use of many Microsoft products using this solution. If we have any Microsoft customers, we encourage them to use this solution for enterprise defence."
"I like that it's fully integrated with Windows, Microsoft 365 Exchange Online, and Outlook. It is better than other antivirus solutions because it's fully integrated with all Microsoft products. It's easy to integrate them and onboard all Windows devices from SCCM."
"It has great stability."
"I like that it's stable. It's been stable for a long time, and Microsoft Defender has done a good job there."
"Its most significant advantage lies in its affordability."
"It gives a lot of flexibility in terms of configuration and customization as per the business requirements."
"The ability to integrate and observe a more cohesive narrative across the products is crucial."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"It's very easy to integrate Wazuh with other environments, cloud applications, and on-prem applications. So, the advantage is that it's easy to implement and integrate with other solutions."
"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."
"The MITRE ATT&CK correlation is most valuable."
"Wazuh has very flexible and robust features."
"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."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
"The user interface of Microsoft 365 Defender could improve. They could make it simpler."
"365 Defender has multiple subsets, including Defender for Cloud Apps. When integrating Defender for Cloud Apps with apps on third-party cloud platforms like AWS or GCP, there are limitations on our ability to control user activities. If Microsoft added more control over third-party products, that would be a game-changer and help us quite a lot."
"There are other SIEM solutions that are easier to use, mainly based on the creation of rules, use cases, and groups."
"The price could be better. It'll also help if they can continuously update and upgrade the solution. Every day there's a new virus uploaded into the network, and we have to keep updating it to identify all these things."
"The documentation on their website is somewhat outdated and doesn't show properly. I wanted to try a query in Microsoft Defender 365. When I opened the related documentation from the security blog on the Microsoft website, the figures were not showing. It was difficult to understand the article without having the figures. The figures were there in the article, but they were not getting loaded, which made the article obsolete."
"There are a few technical issues with Defender XDR that can be improved. Sometimes, the endpoint devices are not reporting properly to the Defender 365 portal. When you're getting all the information from the Microsoft portal, the devices are sometimes not in sync. We have hundreds of endpoint devices, some needing to be onboarded again."
"The support team is not competent or responsive."
"For some scenarios, it provides good visibility into threats, and for some scenarios, it doesn't. For example, sometimes the URLs within the emails have destinations, and you do get a screenshot and all further details, but it's not always the case. It would be good if they did a better job of enabling that for all the emails that they identified as malicious. When you get an email threat, you can go into the email and see more details, but the URL destination feature doesn't always show you a screenshot of the URL in that email. It also doesn't always give you the characteristics relating to that URL. It would be quite good if the information is complete where it says that we identified this URL, and this is what it looks like. There should be some threat intel about it. It should give you more details."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"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."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
