Beneficial monitoring tracking and scalable
AWS Security Hub is used to run automated security checks across Amazon AWS environments The solution has helped my company because I can track IMT. The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources. AWS Security Hub…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"I find all of the features to be highly valuable."
"Very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."
"Easily integrates with third-party tools"
"The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."
"The solution shows us our compliance score."
"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."
"RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility."
"Technical support is knowledgeable."
"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."
"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."
"NetWitness Endpoint's most valuable features are its interoperability across many different operating systems and the ease of pivoting from network to endpoint via a single console."
"This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."
"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."
 

Cons

"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."
"Whenever my team gets some alarms from the central team, my team needs to initiate whether it's a real or false trigger. The central team needs to keep adjusting to the parameters or at least the concerned IPs, whether it's really from the company's pool of IPs, so the trigger process can be improved. In the next release of AWS Security Hub, I'd like a better dashboard that could result in better alert visibility."
"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."
"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."
"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."
"Many findings are too generic or irrelevant to the environment, which can lead to false positives."
"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 threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."
"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."
"The solution lacks a reporting engine."
"This solution needs an upgrade in reporting. I have heard from RSA that they are working on this, but as of yet it is not available."
"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."
"The contamination feature could be improved."
"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."
"Threat detection could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."
"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"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."
"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."
"The pricing is not very economical. It is a quite costly product for India. One thing is that when you purchase it, you have to purchase a module separately."
"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."
"The price of the solution depends on the environment. If the environment is large then it will cost more. However, the larger the environment with more endpoints, you will receive an increased discount. If the environment is very small, then you might think it is expensive. It is always better to buy in bulk to receive a discount. The minimum number of assets is usually 500, with discounts on 1000 and 2000."
"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."
"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."
"It is an expensive product."
"They can easily adjust if you have the requirements which are required. If you have a budget cut or a budget constraint, they can bend."

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…
