"A powerful open source HIDS and SIEM"

4.5/5

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

Relatively easy to implement, needs a bit of time for proper configuration and management. It is a turnkey SIEM solution if you can deploy agents to all or most of your assets. Gives a lot of value from the beginning, even if it becomes really powerful only if it is properly customized and tailored to your needs. Gorgeous interface! Based on Elastic technology, this has a lot of value as it makes it easily scaled and customized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Very little known in Italy so it is difficult to find commercial support for it. Needs Kinux/Unix knowledge to be properly installed, configured and managed (lot of things are still only possible on the CLI). Cloud and container support are still minimal, unless you're ready to spend some time for writing your own parsers / integration modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
