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.
"The solution provides good standardized reports and is easy to troubleshoot."
"It has a simplified and user-friendly interface."
"The features that our customers have found most valuable are their different type of reports including the drill down report, as well as the flexibility to connect to any number of appliances which can be connected to it centrally."
"The most valuable is its robust and comprehensive reporting functionality, providing a thorough overview of various metrics."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is reporting."
"Separating sections or conditions on Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is quite clear."
"The reporting features, which offer customization, real-time insights, and compliance support, are particularly noteworthy aspects."
"It gives us reporting features, which are helpful in the case of troubleshooting and audit purposes."
"I like the features we use, including malware detection, inventory, detection of hidden processes, and activity logs. Inventory is probably the most important feature. It tells us when processes and packages were installed and what they are, which is helpful."
"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."
"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors."
"The product’s interface is intuitive."
"I like Wazuh because it is a lot like ELK, which I was already comfortable with, so I didn't have to learn from scratch."
"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."
"We use it to find any aberration in our endpoint devices. For example, if someone installs a game on their company laptop, Wazuh will detect it and inform us of the unauthorized software or unintended use of the devices provided by the company."
"In terms of what could be improved, sometimes it's lagging and it also has some graphical issues with the GUI."
"When using this solution, you need a high-level expert to make it work as it should."
"I believe that its technical support is the only aspect that requires significant improvement."
"I would like to see an improvement in the technical support. Stronger authentication will also be a plus."
"In future releases, we'd like to see more granular reporting. The reports on offer right now are pretty short."
"The deployment of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is not complex, but integrating it with firewalls can take some time, depending on the number of firewalls."
"The FortiAnalyzer is not good at managing multi-version environments. If all your FortiGate are at different versions in the field, that's difficult. The one thing we didn't like is the fact you have to have 100% of your environment at the same release, which is not pleasant, to have it fully functional. You can have a different release, but to have it fully functional 100% of your environment has to be the same release."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer should come bundled with other Fortinet solutions. Additionally, the performance and updates could improve. They need to test their updates better so there are not as many bugs."
"They could include flexibility and customization capabilities by modifying for customers based on partner agreements."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
"The tool does not provide CTI to monitor darknet."
"Its user interface for sure can be improved. It is not so comfortable to use if you're looking for specific logs."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"Some features, like alerting, are complex with Wazuh."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
