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

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

"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."

"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."

"Very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."

"Easily integrates with third-party tools"

"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."

"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."

"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"Provides quite a bit of visibility into cloud services being utilized in our environment."

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

"Although it is costly, I would recommend this solution to anyone."

"The risk rating of each cloud application has been very useful. Whenever we discover a new application is use, we are able to quickly determine if this application is safe to use and whether or not we should allow our end users to be able to access it."

"Box API features with DLP capabilities."

"In terms of their compatibility with major cloud providers, in terms of their abilities, capabilities, and features, they exceed everyone's capabilities in the CASB market."

"They provide a variety of options for scalability, where we can use it over the cloud, or we can deploy it on-premises through our proxy, and we can also use agent-based installation."

"Having full control of infrastructure."

More Skyhigh Security pros

Cons

"The solution is not wholly self-sufficient."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"Although AWS Security Hub does a periodic scan of your overall infrastructure, it doesn't do it in real time."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"I think that the User Interface could be improved."

"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."

"Iron out the few bugs that I've seen."

"When compared to other technologies, Skyhigh Security is quite simple, but if there is any improvement in the GUI, it will be quite easy for us because it looks a legacy interface."

"Improve the user interface (UI) of the tool and make it user-friendly."

"You can integrate Skyhigh's rules with Active Directory groups. For example, you can allow access to a specific website for a defined set of users. I can do that, but the rules are not straightforward. It can look up the group in Active Directory. However, it doesn't always find the proper group name. The rule configuration should be simpler and more granular. The admin should be able to map 80 groups in the rules quickly."

"They could be integrated with CASB. I think normally McAfee has this solution in the cloud, but for us the best is on-premise."

"The services take some time to load. It would be helpful if the loading time was reduced."

More Skyhigh Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

"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."

"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."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"It's an expensive solution."

"The price of the solution is good and we pay an annual license."

"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is fine."

"Skyhigh provided a FedRAMP solution, tokenization, a better shadow IT capability, and lower cost."

"The tool is not expensive."

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

"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."

"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is okay, though there's always a scope for price improvements. Its pricing is okay compared to other products because other products have very expensive licensing costs. Along with the licensing, support is also provided for Skyhigh Security, so pricing is reasonable, but if there's proactive or better support, that will justify the pricing. I haven't interacted with the Skyhigh Security technical support team yet, so I'd give pricing a four out of five rating for now."

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…
