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."The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that Microsoft Defender XDR is easy to integrate with other Microsoft platforms or products."
"The product integrates security into one tool instead of having third-party security tools."
"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 timeline feature is excellent. I also like the phishing simulation. We have phishing campaigns to educate employees and warn them about these threats."
"Another noteworthy feature that I find appealing in Microsoft Defender is the credit-backed simulation. This feature enables organizations to train their users on effectively responding to phishing emails through a simulated training environment."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution."
"The most valuable aspect is undoubtedly the exploration capability"
"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."
"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 solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"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."
"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 PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"The most valuable feature of Wazuh is the ELK for doing an investigation."
"It's stable."
"The product is easy to customize."
"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."
"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 design of the user interface could use some work. Sometimes it's hard to find the exact information you need."
"From an integration standpoint, it is always improving overall. With Security Copilot coming out, as partners, we are waiting for the GDAP support so that we can actually see Security Copilot on behalf of customers if they subscribe to it."
"The mobile app support for Android and iOS is difficult and needs improvement."
"There is no common area where we can manage all the policies for the EDR, third-party solutions, devices, servers, Windows, Mac, etc., but it's on the road map, and we ware waiting for that feature."
"The onboarding and offboarding need improvement. I work with other vendors as well, and they have an option to add a device or remove a device from the portal, whereas with Microsoft 365 Defender, we need to do that manually. However, once you do that, everything can be controlled through the portal, but getting the device onboarded and offboarded is currently manual. If we have an option to simply remove a device from the portal or get a device added from the portal, it would be more convenient. The rest of the features are similar. This is the only area where I found it different from others. I would also like to be able to simply filter with a few of the queries that are already there."
"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."
"There are still some components, such as vulnerability management within the vendor product, where improved integration would be beneficial."
"Microsoft Defender XDR is not a full-fledged EDR or XDR."
"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."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"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."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"Its automation can be improved."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"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."
"They need to go towards integrating with more cloud applications and not just OS like Windows and Linux."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
