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.

Feature rich, useful web log collection, but support could improve
We have a PCI DSS standard environment and a centralized login server. We are using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for all of the logins. We have the firewalls, such as Fortinet, and many other devices sending their logs through this solution The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."
"The platform has valuable features for security."
"It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale."
"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."
"The solution shows us our compliance score."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to manage...It is a scalable solution."
"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."
"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."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The user interface is very good."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
 

Cons

"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."
"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."
"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."
"Although AWS Security Hub does a periodic scan of your overall infrastructure, it doesn't do it in real time."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"The scalability is limited."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."
"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is 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 price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."
"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."

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…
