“Single Management Limitation Noted Despite Efficient Wazuh Endpoint Deployment Process”
We were testing different security endpoints and someone from my team recommended to try Wazuh. We sat, deployed the server within 10 minutes, prepared the endpoint installation script and then in less than 20 minutes we had the endpoints reporting to our Wazuh server. The level of visibility is very helpful and the security frameworks where each security flag is compared is very extensive. We also use Wazuh for software inventory reports and to detect vulnerable systems in our office. It is a very powerful tool and comes without cost. I totally recommend giving Wazuh a chance on your business.

“Free SIEM Solution Offers Simple Administration with Straightforward Log Management”
If you just need a SIEM, then this works great, especially since it is free. It lacks some features, but it is better than nothing as it does allow logs from all servers. The admin console is simple to use and is pretty straightforward on how to use and search logs.

Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform Likes & Dislikes
Easy way to deploy the whole solution and endpoints. Is easy to replicate and automate.
There is no cost to this. It can be locally managed without outbound network access. Setup is pretty simple and there are readily available instructions for when there are issues.
Easy to deploy and integrate. Ruleset focused on CIS and best industry practices.
At this moment all agents must report to a single Management, so you must deploy management in each DC or prepare your network for expose wazuh over internet.
There is a client that needs to be setup on each machine. When it crashes, it is hard to restore and just easier to rebuild a new machine. It is open source and does bring more potential vulnerabilities into your environment.
Even though it has the action module that can be coded, it is not that easy to get it configured properly.

Powerful Opensource SIEM Solution
For being an opensource project it is very powerful. You get all the integrations you wish for (elastic, virustotal, alienvault otx, etc.) and supports a wide range of agents. If not tuned well it will be very noisy.
