Review on suricata by Anthony Hales

Revainrating 4 out of 5

SURICATA is a great free/open source tool for security monitoring

I like how easy it was to set up as well that you can use with almost any OS without having too much of an issue setting things right for your environment or server type (Linux/Unix). The alerts are helpful in keeping track if there's something going wrong when trying out new software applications which could be potentially harmful such has malware etc., but nothing majorly annoying at this point yet so far no complaints! Nothing really specific about using SURICATA other than just making sure everything works properly before deploying into production environments - make backups first then test thoroughly afterwards :).

Pros
  • I also like that is can handle a lot of different platforms and is easy to deploy and manage
Cons
  • I dislike that it's not open source and not a lot of information is available regarding the code behind it
