"Powerful Open-Source On-Prem Security Monitoring with Easy Integration"
What do you like best about Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform?

It’s an open-source platform that’s easy to install in an on-prem environment. I can easily create rules and decoders for custom logs, and the integrations are straightforward to set up. It also provides excellent tools for log analysis, vulnerability detection, FIM, threat detection, compliance management, and incident management. Deploying the agent across multiple hosts is simple via the command line. Wazuh supports real-time monitoring of system logs and configuration, with automated alerts and VM detection. The documentation is also well maintained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform?

It’s very difficult for new users to learn and get started with. It also uses a lot of resources when working with large data. Sometimes, it causes problems when upgrading to a newer version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform?

Some common drawbacks of Wazuh are that it can be complex to set up and configure, especially for large environments, and managing rules, alerts, and integrations can require significant time and expertise.

"Open-Source Security Platform with Strong Visibility and Control"
What do you like best about Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform?

Wazuh is the level of visibility and control it provides over security events across the entire infrastructure. The real-time threat detection, log analysis, and compliance monitoring are very powerful for an open-source platform. It delivers enterprise-level security capabilities without high licensing costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform?

The main drawback is the steep learning curve, especially for new users during initial setup and tuning. Some configurations and rule customizations can be time-consuming, and the UI could be more intuitive. Better guided setup and clearer documentation for advanced use cases would help a lot.

"It is an inexpensive tool that has a lot of capabilities."
What do you like best about Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform?

It does not cost me anything. The agents that are installed are preconfigured to look at specific details of my end points. It can ID out of date patches on all major applications. It identifies certain items that have CVE's associated with them. I can custom query anything. It was pretty easy to roll out. My organization does not use PowerShell on typical endpoints, so we have to use kind of a modified .msi to roll out updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform?

It cannot push end point agent updates without a paid subscription. Setting up the user roles is a little tough - it is very convoluted and hard to follow the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and Comprehensive Security Monitoring with Wazuh SIEM"
What do you like best about Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform?

Wazuh SIEM stands out as an exceptional security solution that combines powerful threat detection with extensive monitoring capabilities. As a user, I am particularly impressed by its ability to integrate seamlessly with various data sources, providing a holistic view of our security posture.

What do you dislike about Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform?

While Wazuh SIEM is robust, the initial setup and configuration can be somewhat complex, especially for users without extensive SIEM experience. The documentation is detailed but could benefit from more examples and clearer step-by-step instructions for common use cases. Additionally, the learning curve can be steep for new users, and more interactive tutorials or guided setups would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main dashboard is a little incomplete. Wazuh would greatly benefit from the implementation of aggregation issues (per issue). Currently, admin has to hope from endpoint to endpoint screen to see problematic areas Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
