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."

"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."

"Within AWS Security Hub, there is a feature for aggregating and prioritizing security findings which allows for better risk prioritization based on misconfiguration, as they know AWS thoroughly."

"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."

"This solution is for security posture management for the cloud, showing the security posture of your cloud infrastructure and giving you good insight into whether your infrastructure is secure or not."

"The platform has valuable features for security."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."

"AWS Security Hub's unified dashboard does help streamline my process of identifying vulnerabilities, but we don't use Inspector."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"The solution has login features like multi factor authentication."

"The threat detection capability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has always been the major seller, and it works effectively."

"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."

"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."

"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."

"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."

"Technical support is helpful."

"The alerts are clearer, and the capabilities are much better than the others."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security pros

Cons

"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."

"The solution lacks self-sufficiency."

"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."

"Many findings are too generic or irrelevant to the environment, which can lead to false positives."

"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities."

"From an improvement perspective, there is a need to add more compliance since, right now, AWS Security Hub only provides four to five compliances to control the tool."

"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."

"The solution will only give you insight if you have configure rule enabled. It should work more like Prisma Cloud and Dome9 which have a better approach."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"The tool could give us more templates so that people who are not updated with the platform can easily get acquainted with how to secure and utilize the product more."

"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."

"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."

"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."

"The main area for improvement is pricing, as it is quite expensive."

"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."

"The UI part needs to be improved."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."

"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."

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."

"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."

"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."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is very expensive for us. Last month, we had a big issue that took much time and money to resolve. It slowed down our business and required our management team to get involved. We had a problem similar to the "Blue Screen of Death" issue many US companies faced. This incident used up many of our IT resources in just a few months. That's why we're looking for a replacement tool now."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."

"It is expensive, but it adds value."

"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."

"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."

"The price is not too high, it is okay."

"Its price is moderate."
