Not only does it easily integrate with third-party tools but also allows auto synchronization of logs
AWS Security Hub has advanced quite a bit over the last couple of years. The features are quite rich now. Before purchasing, one should develop an understanding of the product. I believe AWS Security Hub is one of the most friendly solutions for integration with third-party tools. I find the integration of AWS Security Hub to be the easiest with tools from Microsoft and a bit difficult with Google solutions. AWS Security Hub is compliant in many different ways. The development business I am part of is SOC compliant for AWS Security Hub, while the banks our organization works with have been PCI compliant for AWS Security Hub for three years. I would definitely recommend AWS Security Hub to others, yet I would also inquire about their purpose and knowledge of cloud solutions. If you know how to use AWS Security Hub, it can be a great solution to work with. The solution is more suitable for people working in the cloud instead of on-premises. I would rate AWS Security Hub a nine out of ten.

Roughly 800 to 1000 integrations available with various security products and applications and offers built-in SOAR capabilities
The documentation part is something that needs to be improved, as well as the threat intelligence investigation part. Logpoint has a kind of site to describe what kinds of threats they are investigating. But that, I think, maybe Logpoint can improve more. The threat investigations and reporting to the end-users can be improved. Logpoint can also come up with IR [incident response] capabilities. Other important SIEM solutions have some IR services. If I am an MSSP working with LogPoint for SIEM/SOAR solutions and I need immediate support, I should be able to get some support. It can be paid support, like SecureWorks, which has those kinds of functionalities. They will immediately get in and start working on helping us identify the threats, isolate them, and give us remedies to take care of and recover from any kind of attacks. Whereas in LogPoint, that functionality is missing. We will be on our own if something happens. We will get other support from them, but there's no paid support before taking ownership and helping us recover from those kinds of attacks. They have a kind of integration for AI, but the incident response capability is what they should improve.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."
"The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."
"The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate."
"The solution shows us our compliance score."
"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."
"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."
"I like that AWS Security Hub currently has several good features, around four or five. The technical support for AWS Security Hub is also responsive."
"Easily integrates with third-party tools"
"They basically charge you in a better way."
"Log collection, dashboards and reporting are good."
"It is a very comprehensive solution for gathering data. It has got a lot of capabilities for collecting logs from different systems. Logs are notoriously difficult to collect because they come in all formats. LogPoint has a very sophisticated mechanism for you to be able to connect to or listen to a system, get the data, and parse it. Logs come in text formats that are not easily parseable because all logs are not the same, but with LogPoint, you can define a policy for collecting the data. You can create a parser very quickly to get the logs into a structured mechanism so that you can analyze them."
"The flexibility of the search feature and the solution's analytics features are the most valuable parts of the solution."
"In my experience with medium-sized operations, LogPoint's scalability is excellent, so I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are the ones that we use the most, which are the search and report facilities."
"What I like best about LogPoint is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions. LogPoint also has better dashboards which I find valuable. I also like that you can create use cases based on your assets."
"The integration is very user-friendly. There are not many CLI commands. Everything is directly accessible from the web interface."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 user interface, graphs, and dashboards of the solution could improve in the future. They are not very sophisticated and could use an update."
"Many findings are too generic or irrelevant to the environment, which can lead to false positives."
"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."
"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."
"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."
"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."
"The solution should offer more integrations and third-party solutions like incident response platforms or allow access to third-party big data"
"What could be improved in LogPoint is its UI because it's less friendly to users than LogRhythm. The UI could be more aesthetically appealing to users. It's completely outdated."
"Log management could be better because transporting the log from a password to the client system takes time."
"The documentation part is something that needs to be improved, as well as the threat intelligence investigation part."
"We were missing visuals and graphics. Recently, a new version seems to have come out, and it has a new graphical user interface. When I was integrating it, it was usable, but the GUI needed improvement."
"It is a good product, but its interface or GUI could be better."
"LogPoint can improve its dashboards. We are not able to customize the dashboard when creating them. They only have preset dashboards which do not have exactly what we are looking for."
"LogPoint must find a way to integrate the servers without agents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"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."
"It's less expensive than the competitors. The Logpoint marketing team is very accommodating and client-friendly. They offer very good reductions in price. They are pretty good in this aspect. They are transparent in their licensing and pricing."
"It's getting more expensive, which is one of the reasons we're looking around just to see if there's anything better value."
"LogPoint seemed like it was a good product, but it was expensive and there wasn't any room to move the pricing when customers needed a lower-costing solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I would rate LogPoint's pricing a seven. It is not very expensive compared to some of the more costly products, and it is not very cheap compared to some of the cheaper products in the SIEM market."
"It was on a yearly basis at about $100K. It was not a huge environment. We were running it on our own virtual server environment, which, of course, had a cost. There was hardware and some energy cost, and then there were Microsoft Windows licenses for servers. That's all, but there was nothing in comparison to the licensing costs."
"It has a fixed price, which is what I like about LogPoint. I bought the system and paid for it, and I pay maintenance. It is not a consumption model. Most SIEMs or most of the log management systems are consumption-based, which means that you pay for how many logs you have in the system. That's a real problem because logs can grow very quickly in different circumstances, and when you have a variable price model, you never know what you're going to pay. Splunk is notoriously expensive for that reason. If you use Splunk or QRadar, it becomes expensive because there are not just the logs; you also have to parse the logs and create indexes. Those indexes can be very expensive in terms of space. Therefore, if they charge you by this space, you can end up paying a significant amount of money. It can be more than what you expect to pay. I like the fact that LogPoint has a fixed cost. I know what I'm going to pay on a yearly basis. I pay that, and I pay the maintenance, and I just make it work."
"Our licensing fees are about $10,000 USD per month, which I think is fair."
"For a hundred user deployment the cost is about $10,000. The next year it would be the same because it's a subscription-based license. There are separate costs as well, for example, if a customer asks for training for their staff."

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…
