Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 2, 2025

Tenable Security Center and AWS Security Hub compete in vulnerability management. Tenable Security Center has the edge due to its comprehensive scanning capabilities, while AWS Security Hub excels in seamless AWS integrations and affordability.

Features: Tenable Security Center offers comprehensive vulnerability scanning, extensive dashboards, and Assurance Report Card for a quick security overview. AWS Security Hub provides seamless AWS integration, real-time alerts, and a unified dashboard for visibility across AWS services.

Room for Improvement: Tenable Security Center could enhance its query engine, report flexibility, and web application scanning. AWS Security Hub needs better integration with open-source tools and multi-cloud adaptability and requires improvements in dashboard customization.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Tenable Security Center is predominantly for on-premises with solid support but slower response times. AWS Security Hub is cloud-native, easy to deploy on AWS, and provides responsive AWS-specific support.

Pricing and ROI: Tenable Security Center is costly due to its enterprise features, justifying with robust vulnerability management. AWS Security Hub, with its pay-as-you-go model, offers competitive pricing, appealing to AWS ecosystem users seeking cost-effectiveness.

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.

Empower clients with risk-based vulnerability management through continuous workflow and valuable insights

Tenable Security Center could improve by implementing more dynamic data displays and translating reports into European languages. This is especially relevant in Central Eastern Europe, where clients often require reports in local languages. Additionally, the licensing model could be more flexible for managed security providers, similar to a pay-as-you-go model.

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."

"The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."

"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."

"It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale."

"The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate."

"AWS Security Hub can check your infrastructure against multiple compliance frameworks. You can turn on or off specific frameworks based on your needs."

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

"The solution shows us our compliance score."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."

"One of the most valuable features is their distributed scan model for allotting engines to work together as a pool and handle multiple scans at once, across multiple environments. Automatic scanning distribution is a distinguishing feature of their toolset."

"The solution is very intuitive and the dashboards are simple to use."

"Overall, I rate the solution 9.8 out of 10."

"Tenable also helps us to focus resources on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. And since it is continuously updated, it allows us to reevaluate quickly if there are new vulnerabilities found..."

"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the vulnerability assessment."

"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."

More Tenable Security Center pros

Cons

"Shortening the response time for support tickets, particularly in production issues, could make the service more efficient."

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

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

"The user interface, graphs, and dashboards of the solution could improve in the future. They are not very sophisticated and could use an update."

"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."

"AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS."

"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

"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."

"At times we have had the typical bugs."

"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."

"We did conduct a long implementation which relates to what I think can be improved about Tenable Security Center."

"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."

"Tenable has some problems with agents going offline during scanning and lag between agents and the security center."

"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."

"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."

More Tenable Security Center 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."

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

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

"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 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."

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."

"Compared to other companies or other products it could maybe be a little bit less, but the price is okay. I would say it's not very expensive."

"The tool provides competitive pricing."

"Costing is pretty reasonable compared to the competition."

"I rate the solution's price as seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The tool is quite expensive."

"We're a Fortune 500 company... our licensing costs [are] in the seven figures."

"It is a bit expensive. Everything is included in the license."

"It is slightly more expensive than other solutions in the same sphere."

"This solution's price is quite high."
