ExtraHop RevealX vs Wazuh

ExtraHop RevealX combines network detection and response, network performance management, intrusion detection, and packet forensics for enterprise security and IT teams. It analyzes packets and applications across network conversations using decryption, packet-level investigation, and cloud-scale machine learning. ExtraHop says out-of-band decryption handles up to 100 Gbps across more than 90 network and application protocols. RevealX detects encrypted threats and lateral movement; cloud-updated intrusion detection signatures cover known attacks. Packet Forensics supports capture across hybrid environments, global search, and packet viewing and analysis in the same platform, with packets retained alongside context. Deployment can be cloud-delivered or self-hosted with physical or virtual sensors; named options are SaaS RevealX 360 and on-premises RevealX Enterprise. Listed integrations include AWS, Jira, CrowdStrike, Cisco, Google Cloud, and Datadog. Subscriptions include Learning Hub access and self-directed learning and certification. Standard technical support is included, with 24/5 global coverage and weekend support for critical issues. Pricing is available on request, and a free trial is offered without a stated duration.

Wazuh unifies XDR and SIEM to analyze security data across endpoints, clouds, and networks for threat detection, incident response, and compliance work. Its rules identify errors, misconfigurations, malicious activity, and policy violations in operating system and application logs. File Integrity Monitoring tracks changes to content, permissions, ownership, and other file attributes. Vulnerability detection compares endpoint software inventories with updated CVE databases. Built-in active responses can take countermeasures, including blocking network access from a threat source. Wazuh can monitor AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, and GitHub services, virtual machines, and activity. Its integrations guide also covers Elastic Stack, OpenSearch, Splunk, and Amazon Security Lake. Default rulesets provide mappings for PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53, TSC, and GDPR, but those mappings do not themselves certify compliance. Wazuh runs on API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows platforms. Its self-hosted open-source plan is free; paid plans start at $571 a month, and a 14-day trial is listed. Agents support Linux, Windows, macOS, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX and require an average of 35 MB of RAM.
