Has helped identify misconfigurations and prioritize risks but lacks multi-cloud support and deeper integration features
AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS. There are other products in the market for CSPM that can give you multi-cloud environment misconfigurations, even Microsoft for that matter. Regarding the integration of AWS Security Hub with third-party tools, I am not certain whether we can integrate them, but there is no need to do so. However, AWS Security Hub cannot integrate with other cloud providers, so it only supports the AWS environment. The compliance checks within AWS Security Hub are good, but we don't use them much. We utilize compliance frameworks such as CIS compliance frameworks and ISO 27017 framework, which are beneficial, but it can improve in other areas too, such as including NIST and other frameworks beyond just ISO and CIS. Improvements can be applicable for scalability, particularly on integration with multi-cloud environments, and compliance frameworks can be added for more variety as well. The unified dashboard in AWS Security Hub is adequate; I cannot say it is exceptional, but the content available in the dashboards is satisfactory for now.

Provides centralized visibility and real-time threat detection across multiple cloud accounts
Regarding how CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security can be improved, I would say they can improve their support. There were a couple of cases where we needed to escalate issues in order to get proper support. That part could use some tweaking on their end. Additionally, the recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience. Apart from that, it is a good tool and the experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has been excellent. We did not find any kind of issues, but if they could improve their response to security-related incidents and provide on-time support or better understand our concerns and address them accordingly, it could be very helpful. Regarding needed improvements, I think they should enhance automatic alerting with CI/CD scanning and reporting capabilities. Additionally, it would be better to implement Falcon sensor health monitoring so agents are always active. We could know how it is behaving and how it is treating our environment. That could be a little helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."
"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."
"AWS Security Hub can check your infrastructure against multiple compliance frameworks. You can turn on or off specific frameworks based on your needs."
"I find all of the features to be highly valuable."
"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."
"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The threat intelligence is the most vital feature"
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"It helps us by automatically blocking certain applications or activities."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing false positives and enhancing security day by day; after testing it on 100 to 200 systems, we convinced the client to deploy it across 6,000 workstations and over 500 servers."
"The threat detection capability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has always been the major seller, and it works effectively."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"Our security has been significantly increased and it is pretty stable in our environment, which is one thing that CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security literally gave us with a positive impact and makes it a good investment."
 

Cons

"AWS Security Hub should improve the time it takes to update. It takes a long period of time when updating. It can take 24 hours sometimes to update. Additionally, when integrating this solution with more security tools, takes time."
"The solution should be easier to learn and use"
"The support must be quicker."
"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities. It would be beneficial for Security Hub to implement preventative measures and to directly apply recommendations instead of just suggesting them."
"I would like a more fine-grained capability for creating custom rules and a more user-friendly experience programmatically in writing queries and configuring custom security rules, making it quicker and easier."
"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."
"Security needs to be measured based on their own criteria. We can't add custom criteria specific to our organization. For example, having an S3 bucket publicly available might be flagged as a critical alert, but it might not be critical in a sandbox environment. So, it gets flagged as critical, which becomes a false positive. So, customization options and creating custom dashboards would be areas for improvement."
"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."
"For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"The tool is expensive."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"AWS Security Hub is not an expensive tool. I would consider it to be a cheap solution. AWS Security Hub follows the PAYG pricing model, meaning you will have to pay for whatever you use."
"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."
"The cost is based on the number of compliances, core checks, and services required, and for more than 10,000 recommendations, the charge is just one dollar."
"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"It's an expensive product"
"Its price is moderate."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL
Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
