"Under the new system, it is not upgradable the way they say. When you try to do an upgrade, it doesn't really work unless you dump everything and start from scratch. You lose a lot of your nodes. Whenever you set your nodes up and everything else, they don't want to bring those nodes back in, so you have to really go back and restructure all your nodes. I went from version 6.5 to version 6.6 and then to version 6.7. I then went to version 2019, and now it is version 2020. It would be good if we can upgrade without having to delete everything and start from scratch. They can maybe build more KPIs and other things for the dashboard. Some of the other systems already have built-in KPIs. SolarWinds is starting to catch up, but it is not there yet. They can include some of the business or industry standards for tracking the time, that is, the meantime to detect (MTTD) and the meantime to resolve (MTTR). They can also find a way to build a KPI that measures the number of instances of port scans experienced in a week or a month."
"There are no multiple dashboards which would allow you to see information side-by-side."
"I would like to have a more customizable dashboard."
"There is no correlation made between log entries, so no threat information is presented."
"The product should improve the ease with which you can create event alerts. They are not as hard now but you need to have an easier way."
"I don't think SolarWinds is scalable enough. It is somewhat limited when I need to deploy it across multiple environments in a distributed architecture."
"One of the drawbacks of being so flexible is that it is also a fairly complicated software application to install, configure, and maintain."
"Some features, like alerting, are complex with Wazuh."
"They could include flexibility and customization capabilities by modifying for customers based on partner agreements."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"While it is scalable, it can suffer from reduced latencies."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"A more structured approach, perhaps with modular UI components, to facilitate easier integration and navigation within the Wazuh platform for custom integrations would be beneficial."
