We compared Fortinet FortiAnalyzer vs Wazuh based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison of Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Wazuh seems to be the superior solution. Our reviewers feel that because Fortinet FortiAnalyzer’s integration capabilities are limited, its price is expensive, and there is a question about how effective its technical support is, Wazuh is a better investment.
"FortiAnalyzer has a user-friendly interface with a quick response and good analytics. It's very secure because it's taking the log from the devices on a secure channel, so there is no problem with that in your network."
"The anti-virus protection it offers our clients is solid."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is reporting."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to integrate."
"It is easy to integrate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer with other products. You have a better overview of what's going on."
"There are customizable workflows that you can work with. You can automate certain tasks in FortiAnaylzer in the incidents and events sections."
"The most valuable is its robust and comprehensive reporting functionality, providing a thorough overview of various metrics."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"I like that the solution is on top of the Kubernetes stack."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"The deployment is easy and they provide very good documentation."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"Wazuh automatically scans the host for CIS benchmarks for the latest updates and vulnerabilities and gives a host score. It provides a percentage of perceived risk due to of non patches or any missing patches on that work."
"The solution lacks business intelligence features. It's much too basic."
"It will be better if behavior or indicators of compromise were on the same licensing schema. Currently, it is an advanced feature that you have to purchase as an add-on. This is the reason we're trying to do the ELK so that we can integrate them and create those rules by using open-source software. It will also be better if it has some more integration with IT service management tools so that we can do endpoint protection and response based on those indicators of compromise or those behavior analysis rules that create events that can automatically flow. We can inject that data into a service incident ticket on our IT service management tool, and that way we can assign the ticket to the proper teams and respond right away. Currently, we only have integration with ServiceNow."
"We should be able to do the patch upgrades in a centralized manner. This functionality is currently not there. It would be good to be able to do the firmware updates from one place and at the same time. Currently, if we want to update all appliances, we require FortiManager, which is another solution from Fortinet. Its documentation can be improved. It will be helpful for implementing the product and gaining knowledge for management purposes."
"The cost of FortiAnalyzer could be cheaper, especially when you are installing to a VM. For 90 percent of customers, the VM solution is enough."
"The reports are good, but they are over-summarized."
"The solution does not function well with third-party tools"
"The technical support is not very good."
"We'd like to see more embedded features."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"The tool doesn't detect anomalies or new environments."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"The technical support can be improved. Wazuh has some bugs that need to be fixed. It would be good if we can have automation with respect to incidence responses."
