Keep vs Wazuh

Keep is an open-source alert management and AIOps platform for bringing alerts together, reducing noise, and automating response workflows. Its alert workspace supports querying, slicing, analysis, and rule-based grouping. The YAML-based workflow engine has a UI and can query MySQL, enrich alerts, update Jira tickets, and run Python scripts. Keep lists 110+ providers and bidirectional integrations across monitoring, incident response, ticketing, source control, change management, and CMDB systems. It can be self-hosted or used as managed cloud; self-hosting options include local setup or Kubernetes with Helm or Docker Compose. The Enterprise plan includes alert correlation based on past incidents and a knowledge base. Growth costs $199 a month and includes 200 deduplicated alerts monthly, unlimited ingested alerts, 100 workflows, 20 integrations, 10 users, and 14 days of data retention. Startup is listed for personal or non-commercial projects, with five workflows, one integration, and one user. Keep is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel.

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.
