ManageEngine Log360 vs Wazuh

ManageEngine Log360 is a unified SIEM for collecting security data, identifying suspicious activity, and coordinating threat response. It combines log management with Active Directory auditing, cloud security, and user behavior analytics. Log360 collects, parses, analyzes, stores, and searches log data, using more than 750 prebuilt parsers as well as a custom parser. Detection and user and entity behavior analytics help identify anomalies and insider threats, while SOAR workflows and playbooks can automate incident assignment, enrichment, investigations, and response. It monitors Microsoft 365, AWS, Azure, GCP, and Salesforce, and provides compliance reporting for GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, NIS2, and DORA. Integrations include prebuilt and custom connections, REST APIs, and APIs and SDKs. Tamper-proof logs and detailed audit trails support investigation and accountability. Deployment choices include on-premises editions for Windows and Linux and Log360 Cloud. An annual subscription is listed at $795 a year, with pricing varying by licensed components and quantities. A fully functional 30-day trial is available. The vendor describes Log360 as an enterprise SIEM for security operations centers, with use cases in financial services, healthcare, government, and education.

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.
