Dislike

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.

    Wazuh has many features and helps you to monitor your hosts (but also e.g. your 365 tenant), windows and linux operating systems are supported. Just install an agent on every machine. The agent will check for vulnerabilities, for security compliance, for event logs and you will be able to generate reports about (you can customize logos and information about your Company), in PDF and Excel format. You can explore the details for every host. Installation is quite easy , there is a script that will do all the task. You can do queries while looking at your logs and create filters. A really good product, highly customizable. A little bit of technical knowledgment is required (you may need to access you wazuh server via ssh).
