Featured Reviews

MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers best practice recommendations and supports various compliance standards
Security Hub provides insightful information about what is running and where there might be weaknesses. It offers best practice recommendations and supports various compliance standards such as ISO and PCI DSS. Enabling these compliance checks helps identify non-compliant services and suggests steps to achieve compliance. The main advantage is providing information and compliance insights rather than prevention.
Rene Schouten. - PeerSpot reviewer
Harnesses anomaly detection and automated response for efficient threat management
I really appreciate the anomaly detection and machine learning capabilities that identify unusual patterns without needing signatures. The automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses. It is also cost-effective, charged based on use per second rather than data volume. Additionally, the solution supports annual audits and ensures compliance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."
"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."
"Security Hub provides insightful information about what is running and where there might be weaknesses."
"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."
"AWS Security Hub provides comprehensive alerts about potential compliance issues with CIS standards. The integration with third-party tools is another excellent feature. All our workloads are on AWS."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to manage...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution shows us our compliance score."
"Currently, our organization utilizes AWS for various purposes, including SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and hosting applications in the cloud. We develop our applications and use AWS services as a platform for basic functions and secondary development needs. Additionally, we rely on PaaS for accounting services. Approximately, 50% of our applications are hosted in the cloud environment, making it a significant part of our current setup."
"The technical support from Google is very important and great."
"The UEBA capabilities provide valuable user and entity behavior analytics, and the context from Google threat intelligence significantly bolsters threat detection."
"Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"The main advantage I see is the cost, which is currently low."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"The product is near perfect, with only minor enhancements needed."
"The dashboards are clean and clearly written, making it easy to use and understand."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
 

Cons

"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."
"Shortening the response time for support tickets, particularly in production issues, could make the service more efficient."
"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities."
"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."
"The support must be quicker."
"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."
"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."
"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience."
"They are slow, and the initial responses often require more information rather than providing helpful solutions."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"The tool needs to improve tasking packages. Its GUI needs to be improved. The product needs to include time-based filtration. We can only see the alert detection timeline now."

"The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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…
