Executive SummaryUpdated on Feb 8, 2026

Skyhigh Security and AWS Security Hub compete in the cloud security management category. Based on feature comparisons, Skyhigh has the upper hand in identifying shadow IT and managing risks, while AWS Security Hub excels in seamless integration with AWS services.

Features: Skyhigh Security is equipped with tools for identifying and managing shadow IT, providing detailed risk assessments, and enforcing data compliance through robust DLP features. It delivers insights into cloud service usage and aids in implementing security policies by monitoring anomalies. AWS Security Hub offers efficient integration with AWS native services, a centralized dashboard for security management, and real-time alerts within AWS environments, although it lacks extensive cross-platform capabilities.

Room for Improvement: Skyhigh Security's console can be slow, and it faces integration challenges, especially with unsanctioned apps and cross-platform support. There is also room for dynamic reporting feature enhancements and UI improvements. AWS Security Hub requires broader multi-cloud integration and enhanced real-time reporting. Dashboard customization limitations hinder alert specificity. Both solutions need improved flexibility in cloud integrations and more advanced user interfaces.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Skyhigh Security supports diverse deployment options, including hybrid and on-premises setups, providing scalability and flexibility, with varying customer service quality. AWS Security Hub focuses on public and private cloud environments, seamlessly integrating within AWS infrastructure and benefiting from high scores in customer service and technical support. Skyhigh offers broader deployment flexibility, while AWS stands out for its customer service quality.

Pricing and ROI: Skyhigh Security is perceived as expensive, justified by its features, with suggestions for cost-effectiveness improvements. AWS Security Hub's PAYG model is seen as affordable due to AWS ecosystem integration. Both solutions offer positive ROI: Skyhigh delivers reduced risk and compliance benefits, while AWS Security Hub users value its threat detection and multi-compliance framework.

Has helped identify misconfigurations and prioritize risks but lacks multi-cloud support and deeper integration features

AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS. There are other products in the market for CSPM that can give you multi-cloud environment misconfigurations, even Microsoft for that matter. Regarding the integration of AWS Security Hub with third-party tools, I am not certain whether we can integrate them, but there is no need to do so. However, AWS Security Hub cannot integrate with other cloud providers, so it only supports the AWS environment. The compliance checks within AWS Security Hub are good, but we don't use them much. We utilize compliance frameworks such as CIS compliance frameworks and ISO 27017 framework, which are beneficial, but it can improve in other areas too, such as including NIST and other frameworks beyond just ISO and CIS. Improvements can be applicable for scalability, particularly on integration with multi-cloud environments, and compliance frameworks can be added for more variety as well. The unified dashboard in AWS Security Hub is adequate; I cannot say it is exceptional, but the content available in the dashboards is satisfactory for now.

Proxy integration has strengthened email security and centralized monitoring for all branches

We have nearly 900 plus branches here, where we have rerouted our traffic through proxy like Trellix Skyhigh Security. We operate in a major financial sector in India, and that is why we use Skyhigh Security to reroute all our traffic via proxy for our security. Only then will it reach our gateway. We monitor all the URLs and the plant IPs in our proxy. We are tracing those IPs to see whether they have a valid code or not. We also check with Trellix Sandbox to determine whether the URL is malicious or not. Additionally, we have included our Cisco Umbrella with our proxy, so the DNS resolution happens on our Umbrella side. We continuously monitor the traffic on our proxy side. The threat protection feature is a major useful thing because for our 900 branches we monitor with this proxy only. If any issue or any URL does not reach, it is quite helpful to check whether the issue is in the proxy side or in the actual end-user side. It is quite easy to monitor. We do not get all those things from the firewall end, and it is quite easy to gather that information from the proxy, which is a major benefit here. It also majorly helps to hide our actual IPs, as we have directed all the IPs from the proxy, making it very helpful to hide our internal servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."

"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."

"I find all of the features to be highly valuable."

"I rate Security Hub ten out of ten for stability."

"This solution is for security posture management for the cloud, showing the security posture of your cloud infrastructure and giving you good insight into whether your infrastructure is secure or not."

"Within AWS Security Hub, there is a feature for aggregating and prioritizing security findings which allows for better risk prioritization based on misconfiguration, as they know AWS thoroughly."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"Improves creation of security alerts on web proxy logs by having a separate system interpret said logs."

"It's a great product with solid features."

"Data loss prevention and user behavior analysis are two valuable features."

"There is [a feature] called cloud registry where we can see a risk assessment for the cloud services being used. If we want to add a new cloud service or a new cloud application, we can check into it and do an assessment through the cloud registry."

"Overall, we have been very happy with the product."

"In that way, it gives in-depth visibility and a granular monitoring facility for the company: What is happening inside the company, what people are using, what kind of data is going through the company."

"The solution provides great security, higher availability, and policy granularity."

"DLP policies and anomalies."

More Skyhigh Security pros

Cons

"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 support must be quicker."

"Right now, there are some difficulties we're facing with AWS Security Hub, and we need our central team to mitigate the issues."

"The solution lacks self-sufficiency."

"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."

"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."

"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."

"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities. It would be beneficial for Security Hub to implement preventative measures and to directly apply recommendations instead of just suggesting them."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support."

"The Skyhigh for Google Drive interface and policy engine is a bit confusing and limited when compared against other Google Drive CASB capabilities."

"De-tokenization."

"I'm rating the technical support for Skyhigh Security a zero."

"McAfee Web Gateway has two kinds of solutions, one is for on-premises and the other is virtual. Their virtual solution is not as strong as their on-premises solution."

"There are no training videos available for the product."

"The solution is hard to configure, our team does not have specific training requirements for McAfee making it difficult."

"The secure gateway could be improved."

More Skyhigh Security cons

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."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."

"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."

"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."

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."

"The solution is quite expensive. As we take add-ons continuously as per our customer's requirements, there are additional charges."

"This is an expensive product, but you have to compare that with other solutions that are on the market."

"They definitely charge a huge amount. All the security service providers charge a huge amount."

"The biggest thing to watch for is the difference in price per monitored user for the different API integrations."

"There is a license required to use this solution and it is paid annually. The price is reasonable."

"It's an expensive solution."

"The licensing fees are based on what environments you are monitoring."

"Commercially, I find Skyhigh Security a little costlier, compared to other products such as SentinelOne or Cybereason which are really novelty products. I'm not comparing Skyhigh Security with Trend Micro, but with other products, in particular the new, next-generation products. The price for Skyhigh Security is high in terms of value and ROI. I would rate the product price combined with product efficacy a six out of ten."

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…
