The main reasons that i like about wazuh is being free and opensouce, having simpler learning curve and ease of use, it is user friendly and best choice for small scale companies

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.

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.
