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

"Easily integrates with third-party tools"
"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."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."
"I rate Security Hub ten out of ten for stability."
"AWS Security Hub has very good integration features. It allows for AWS native services integration, and it helps us to integrate some of the services outside of AWS. They have partners, such as Amazon Preferred Network Partners (APN). If you have different security tools around APN, we can integrate those findings with AWS Security Hub reducing the need to refer to different portals or different UIs. You can have AWS Security Hub act as a single common go-to dashboard."
"I really like the seamless integration with the AWS account structure. It can even be made mandatory as part of the landing zone. These are great features. And there's a single pane of glass for the entire account."
"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"The product is near perfect, with only minor enhancements needed."
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"The support team is responsive."
 

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."
"The support must be quicker."
"It's not user-friendly. Too much going on, too many unnecessary findings, not very visual. You can't do much compared to other similar tools that are cheaper and better."
"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."
"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."
"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities."
"The user interface, graphs, and dashboards of the solution could improve in the future. They are not very sophisticated and could use an update."
"The telemetry doesn't always go into the control center. When you have multiple instances running in AWS, you need a control tower to take feeds from Security Hub and analyze your results. Sometimes exemptions aren't passed between the control tower and Security Hub. The configuration gets mixed up or you don't get the desired results."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners."
"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 graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience."
"The tool is perfectly fine, and I have not faced any challenges while using it."
"The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."
"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"The solution's pricing is dependent on the data amount."
"The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
"Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
"We have to pay extra charges for the amount of data transfer and technical support services."

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…
