What the comparison says

SentinelOne Singularity is hybrid and Wazuh is self-hosted. Where your obligations dictate residency, that difference tends to settle the choice before any score is read.

SentinelOne Singularity licenses on per endpoint, Wazuh on free; paid support available. Neither bills on data volume, so the comparison is about what each licence includes rather than how much you send it.

SentinelOne Singularity leads on detection, response speed, ease of setup, management UX, integrations and security coverage. Wazuh leads on residency and pricing value.

SentinelOne Singularity

  • +Autonomous containment without waiting for analyst intervention.
  • +One-click rollback reverses ransomware file encryption on the endpoint.
  • +Purple AI supports natural-language threat hunting across telemetry.
  • −Licensing model is complex. Validate per-seat versus capacity carefully.
  • −On-premises availability has varied by release and region; confirm before shortlisting.

Best for Teams wanting automated response without building the automation themselves.

Watch out Confirm current self-hosted availability directly. Do not assume from older documentation.

Wazuh

  • +Genuinely free and open source with no licence cost at any scale.
  • +Mature rule engine, file integrity monitoring and configuration assessment.
  • +Fully self-hosted and air-gap capable with a large community rule base.
  • −The surrounding stack is where the real cost lands: indexer, dashboards and storage.
  • −Operational burden falls entirely on your team unless a support contract is bought.

Best for Teams with platform engineering capacity and a strong preference for open source.

Watch out Budget for the indexing layer and the engineer who maintains it.
