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."Having a single pane of glass for all Microsoft security services makes everything much easier. A security analyst can go to a single portal and see everything in one view. The integration of everything into one portal is a huge benefit."
"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."
"The EDR and the way it automatically responds to ransomware and other attacks are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the network security."
"All of the security components are valuable including, antiphishing, antispam, and stage three antivirus."
"The solution is well integrated with applications. It is easy to maintain and administer."
"It provides a single pane of glass within the 365 admin interface, streamlining our experience by consolidating information in one place and eliminating the need to navigate through multiple interfaces."
"The best feature is threat hunting. There are a lot of other features I like, such as the alert mechanism. The chain alert mechanism has a huge impact. It combines all the alerts into one incident and automatically correlates them with AI."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"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."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"Wazuh has very flexible and robust features."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"Wazuh's logging features integrate seamlessly with AWS cloud-native services. There are also Wazuh agent configurations for different use cases, like vulnerability scanning, host-based intrusion detection, and file integrity monitoring."
"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."
"Intrusion detection and prevention would be great to have with 365 Defender."
"The only problem I find is that the use cases are built-in. There is no template available that you can modify according to your organization's standards. What they give is very generic, the market standard, but that might not be applicable to every organization."
"The support from Microsoft could improve. There are times I have to wait for a response from a qualified specialist."
"The cost can be high if you want to build custom license packages. Another area for improvement is the policies. In Azure, we need to implement policies in JSON format, but in 365 Defender 365, it would be helpful to use a different format so we can customize the platform."
"The user interface of Microsoft 365 Defender could improve. They could make it simpler."
"The design of the user interface could use some work. Sometimes it's hard to find the exact information you need."
"There are other SIEM solutions that are easier to use, mainly based on the creation of rules, use cases, and groups."
"This solution could be improved if it included features such as those offered by Malwarebytes."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."
"Its automation can be improved."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"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."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"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."
"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."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
