Featured Reviews

MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers best practice recommendations and supports various compliance standards
Security Hub provides insightful information about what is running and where there might be weaknesses. It offers best practice recommendations and supports various compliance standards such as ISO and PCI DSS. Enabling these compliance checks helps identify non-compliant services and suggests steps to achieve compliance. The main advantage is providing information and compliance insights rather than prevention.
Daniel Durian - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps to monitor and detect cyberattacks
The tool's effectiveness depends on how you define your log sources. To build visibility of incoming and outgoing traffic, you need logs from perimeter defense, firewalls, web application firewalls, and endpoint protection. With good traffic visibility, incident response time is really quick. Trellix ESM provides situation awareness. On the dashboard, I can see outbound and inbound communications to known threat hosts, IPS/IDS activity, and threat intelligence of the perimeter defense in the firewall. This information helps preempt attacks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution shows us our compliance score."
"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."
"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."
"The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate."
"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."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. Over the years I have always been using this solution and have become comfortable with it."
"It is easy to use."
"Scalability is quite easier with Trellix ESM, because all we need to do is add more receivers to it, so it can go to any point."
"It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network."
"Trellix ESM is very user-friendly."
"It is a good central viewpoint for issues. These can then be investigated in more detail on the subnet server(s)/endpoints."
"The tool's effectiveness depends on how you define your log sources. To build visibility of incoming and outgoing traffic, you need logs from perimeter defense, firewalls, web application firewalls, and endpoint protection. With good traffic visibility, incident response time is really quick."
"I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten. The deployment is completed in two days."
 

Cons

"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."
"It's not user-friendly. Too much going on, too many unnecessary findings, not very visual. You can't do much compared to other similar tools that are cheaper and better."
"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."
"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities."
"The support must be quicker."
"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."
"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."
"Many findings are too generic or irrelevant to the environment, which can lead to false positives."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see fingerprint recognition included in the next release of this solution."
"We acquired the IBM product because McAfee is slightly confusing to use, and it's broader."
"I would like to see improvements to the user interface."
"Cloud integration has room for improvement because they're not full-fledged to integrate with the cloud solutions that come. They use different integration platforms to bring in data, and that needs to be improved."
"We would welcome integrations with some of the new McAfee acquisitions, e.g., behavioural analytics."
"It cannot integrate with our Next-Generation Firewall and few applications such as Cisco ACI."
"There's no software support from McAfee."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty 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."
"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."
"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 all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."
"The product is slightly expensive."
"The price of McAfee ESM is higher than some of the other solutions. There are additional features that can be added at an additional fee."
"The pricing is fair."
"The price is good. It's moderate. We follow a pay-as-you-go model. There are different models available, and they can also be monthly. You can choose monthly or yearly. It's very flexible. If our existing customers exceed the current plan, you can just call McAfee and get it extended."
"We renew our license annually."
"The licensing cost is based on EPS."
"Regarding pricing, Trellix ESM is not that expensive. It's less than half the cost of IBM QRadar."
