We performed a comparison between VMware Aria Operations for Logs and Wazuh based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"The interface of the solution is good."
"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"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."
"I like the features we use, including malware detection, inventory, detection of hidden processes, and activity logs. Inventory is probably the most important feature. It tells us when processes and packages were installed and what they are, which is helpful."
"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"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."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"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."
"What I'd like to improve in vRealize Log Insight is the licensing model. VMware provides vRealize Log Insight along with the VMware Cloud Foundation, but customers who would like to go for the native VMware would have to procure vRealize Log Insight separately. Today, vRealize Log Insight is offered on two different licenses, one is based on the number of VMs, and the other is based on the number of physical codes on the machine. If VMware can provide a bundle offer for customers who procure more than ten licenses, where you can have an option to run, for example, three hundred machines on vRealize Log Insight with no extra cost, this would encourage more people to adopt the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of vRealize Log Insight is for a cloud option to be available, which would be a pay-as-you-go licensing model that would allow me to pick and choose what I'll monitor. For example, I have one thousand and three hundred critical servers, and the seven hundred servers for basic development, I don't want to monitor on vRealize Log Insight today, so I should be able to pick what I need to monitor on the solution and only pay for that specific instance. If VMware can apply these changes, it would help VMware customers to procure more or adopt more of vRealize Log Insight even in smaller projects."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"The tool is expensive."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"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."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
