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."We also use Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Cloud, Defender for Identity, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. They are all integrated and it was very easy to integrate them. In my experience with the integrations, it was just a click of a button and things were integrated. It's just a button."
"The EDR features are valuable. By getting the EDR features, we have more control over the device. We have information about events in real-time and more protection against zero-day threats and zero-day vulnerabilities. We can monitor every event or action that a device is going through. We can get an idea if it is something malicious or if we have to take any actions."
"I have found the ability to delete unwanted threats beneficial."
"The integration between all the Defender products is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is well integrated with applications. It is easy to maintain and administer."
"We can automate routine tasks and write scripts to carry out difficult tasks, which makes things easier for us."
"Its most significant advantage lies in its affordability."
"Microsoft Defender XDR provides strong identity protection with comprehensive insights into risky user behavior and potential indicators of compromise."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"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."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"The tool is stable."
"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."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors."
"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."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"The support could be more knowledgable to improve their offering."
"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 price should be adjustable by region."
"The licensing is a nightmare and has room for improvement."
"My client would like the solution to be more customizable without using code. You can only build on the default console, but we're not allowed to change it."
"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."
"The user interface of Microsoft 365 Defender could improve. They could make it simpler."
"Microsoft frequently changes the names of its products, sometimes even renaming entire portals or features."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"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."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"Its automation can be improved."
"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 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."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"Integration with Vyara could be better."
"The biggest part that's missing is threat intelligence. It isn't inbuilt, and if a sudden incident occurs, we don't get that feedback inside the SIEM tool. That's a big gap, I see. It would be better if we could get the threat intelligence feeds integrated with the SIEM tools. That would help us push value solutions to the clients in a big way."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"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."
"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."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
