We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightIDR and Wazuh based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The comprehensiveness of Microsoft's threat detection is good."
"The most valuable feature is probably the aggregation and correlation of the different telemetry points with Defender for Identity, Defender for Endpoint, and Defender for Cloud Apps. All of these various things are part of that portal. We've wanted that single pane of glass for years."
"Advanced hunting is good. I like that. We can drill down to lots of details."
"The unified view of the threat landscape on a central dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"For me, the advanced hunting capabilities have been really great. It allowed querying the dataset with their own language, which is KQL or Kusto Query Language. That has allowed me to get much more insight into the events that have occurred. The whole power of 365 Defender is that you can get the whole story. It allows you to query an email-based activity and then correlate it with an endpoint-based activity."
"We are connected to Microsoft and have every laptop enrolled. This acts as an endpoint. The tool helps me check security and compliance. I can also check what a device is doing."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a good solution and easy to use."
"During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint."
"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."
"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."
"It is a very stable solution."
"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."
"The product is easy to customize."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."
"Integrates with various open-source and paid products, allowing for flexibility in customization based on use cases."
"The log monitoring and analysis tools are great in addition to SIEM file activity monitoring."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"I like the cloud-native infrastructure and that it's free. We didn't have to pay anything, and it has the capabilities of many premium solutions in the market. We could integrate all of our services and infrastructure in the cloud with Wazuh. From an integration point of view, Wazuh is pretty good. I had a good experience with this platform."
"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 price could be better. It'll also help if they can continuously update and upgrade the solution. Every day there's a new virus uploaded into the network, and we have to keep updating it to identify all these things."
"While the XDR platform offers valuable functionalities, it falls short of other solutions in its ability to deliver a cohesive identity experience."
"I personally have not seen much evidence of how Defender can enhance the story of zero trust for enterprises."
"When we do investigations, it would be better if Microsoft could populate the host dashboard more. When we open any host for investigation, we want the entire timeline of what is happening on the host, including all the users logging in, their hardware, Windows version, etc."
"Microsoft Defender XDR is not a full-fledged EDR or XDR."
"The user interface of Microsoft 365 Defender could improve. They could make it simpler."
"The data recovery and backup could be improved."
"Advanced attacks could use an improvement."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"One area where Wazuh could use some improvement is in its reporting mechanism, especially for high-level management like CSOs and CEOs."
"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."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"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 implementation is very complex."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"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."
