We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability 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."I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"Wazuh's best features are syscheck, its ability to immediately resolve vulnerabilities, and that it's open source."
"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 tool is stable."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"Wazuh offers numerous features, such as the ability to define custom rules for detecting malicious activities and remembering behaviors."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage."
"They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"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."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
"Log data analysis could be improved. My IT team has been looking for an alternative because they want better log data for malware detection. We are also doing more container implementation also, so we need better container security, log data analysis, auditing and compliance, malware detection, etc."
"There's not much I like about Wazuh. Other products I've used were a lot more functional and user friendly. They came with reports and use cases out of the box. We need to configure Wazuh's alerts and monitoring capabilities manually. It'd be nice if we could select from templates and presets for use cases already built and coded."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
