## What the models said about Wazuh

- "Open-source self-build solutions (such as Wazuh or Graylog with custom rules) are generally not recommended unless you have at least two dedicated SIEM engineers" (Mistral Small, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "others advise skipping them depending on your needs, particularly for enterprise environments where robust support is critical" (MiniMax M2.5, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "Platforms like Elastic, Wazuh, and Security Onion are incredibly capable but demand significant engineering hours." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "If you have in-house engineering capacity and <50 GB/day ingest, Wazuh / Security Onion self-hosted is the lowest cash outlay." (Muse Glimmer 30B, budget prompt, first choice)
