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.

The solution provides a single dashboard to onboard and have visibility into all the cloud infrastructure, but it should offer a complete Cnapp solution
Tenable Cloud Security is used for CSPM. If you have multi-cloud tenancy using AWS and Azure, you can have a single dashboard where you can onboard all the cloud infrastructure and have visibility into it. It has multiple cover steps of compliance. So, if you are obliged by any compliance, you can…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."
"I find all of the features to be highly valuable."
"The platform has valuable features for security."
"The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."
"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 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."
"It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale."
"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."
"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."
"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."
"Scanning and reporting are the most valuable features of Tenable Cloud Security"
"The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me."
"Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS)."
"The key benefit lies in having the largest and most up-to-date database. When it comes to using any Tenable product, it excels in finding vulnerabilities and providing analytics."
"If you have multi-cloud tenancy using AWS and Azure, you can have a single dashboard where you can onboard all the cloud infrastructure and have visibility into it."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
 

Cons

"The solution should be easier to learn and use"
"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."
"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."
"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."
"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."
"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."
"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."
"The support must be quicker."
"If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors."
"Due to its robust nature, the platform's adoption can be overwhelming initially. However, once organizations start using it, they tend to get used to it. I haven't had much direct interaction with the support team, but some partners have reported a desire for better support for the product."
"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."
"I have faced several bug incidents with the solution"
"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."
"The product must provide more features."
"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."
"Tenable needs to offer a patch-based solution since it is an area where the tool lacks a bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."
"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."
"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"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 tool's price is good compared to other brands. The tool's subscription is for a year."
"There is a need to opt for a subscription-based pricing model to use Tenable Cloud Security. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The tool's pricing is fair."

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…
