We performed a comparison between ESET PROTECT Enterprise and Wazuh based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The 'Incidents and Alerts' tab is a valuable feature where we can find triggered alerts."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a good solution and easy to use."
"Defender is easy to use. It has a nice console, and everything is all in one place."
"There is also one dashboard that shows us the status of many controls at once and the details I can get... It gives a great overview of many areas, such as files, emails, chats, and links. Even with the apps, it gives you a great overview. In one place you can see where you should look into things more deeply..."
"Advanced hunting is good. I like that. We can drill down to lots of details."
"The most valuable feature depends on the scenario. For compliance, I like Microsoft Purview Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention. Sentinel is the most helpful feature for security. 365 Defender helps us prioritize threats across an enterprise. It's a crucial feature for the managed services team."
"The unified view of the threat landscape on a central dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"Microsoft 365 Defender's most valuable feature is the ability to control the shadow IP."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems. When I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"Some of the strengths of Wazuh that stand out for us include its scalability when deployed on Azure, its open-source nature, which allows for customization based on our needs, and its compatibility with various security solutions like threat intelligence platforms."
"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."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"There is definitely scope for improvement in the automation area. Because the solution is a SaaS platform, we don't have the overall ability to automate stuff.... There is no direct way to go ahead because it's a SaaS platform."
"The dashboard should be easier to use. There is also improvement needed in the reporting when it comes to exporting or scheduling reports."
"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."
"Correctly updated records are the most significant area for improvement. There have been times when we were notified of a required fix; we would carry out the fix and confirm it but still get the same notification a week later. This seems to be a delay in records being updated and leads to false reporting, which is something that needs to be fixed."
"There are still some components, such as vulnerability management within the vendor product, where improved integration would be beneficial."
"The capability to not only thwart attacks but also to adapt to evolving threats is crucial."
"I would like more of the features in Defender for 365 to be included in the smaller licenses. Even if I buy a small license and don't need everything, security shouldn't be a question. Security is one of the main aspects of all projects from our side, so it would be nice to have more features in the smaller licenses."
"Generally, antivirus products provide a central control to manage every device in terms of who is installing it or who is trying to disable it, but Microsoft doesn't have such a control center for the antivirus product it provides."
"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
"I would like to see more in managing mobile devices in an on-premise solution. The latest news I've heard is that ESET drops mobile management module development for the on-prem version. It's moving to the cloud. Like in endpoint client protection, I would also like to see more of the vulnerability management features and additional app control functionality in ESET Protect."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"Its automation can be improved."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"Wazuh has a drawback with regard to Unix systems. The solution does not allow us to do real-time monitoring for Unix systems. If usage increases, it would be a heavy fall on the other SIEM solutions or event monitoring solutions."
"Integration with Vyara could be better."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is distributed architecture and it uses Elastic DB. Their Elastic DB doesn't allow open source waste application."
"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."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"There could be a hardware monitoring tool for the solution."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"The implementation is very complex."
