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.

Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.

Offers comprehensive report generation while maintaining ease of integration

We need to improve Trellix ESM by making sure that most of the logging devices available in the global market should be covered, and if there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that. We can add some new features regarding AI in the future for Trellix ESM, but the maturity will take a longer time. There are many false positives that happen in an environment during the first couple of months, or around six months, so the system analyst is not able to identify whether the event which has occurred is a true positive or a false positive.

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

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

"AWS Security Hub brings many features into one table that is quite useful, and the app team finds it easier to see what is missing."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to manage...It is a scalable solution."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"Trellix ESM utilizes fewer human resources and improves security and visibility."

"The most valuable feature in ESM is its search and reporting feature. It's really nice."

"The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."

"It can be easily deployed with the other solutions."

"McAfee as a whole is a good solution."

"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate different events from different platforms that we feed into it."

"It has good technical support, which is available around the clock. You can call up anytime and get whatever you want. My queues are resolved."

"The most valuable feature of Trellix ESM, for detecting, is that it detects malware and viruses, such as a particular virus that was critical in Kenya; we used ESM to detect and block that particular virus completely."

More Trellix ESM pros

Cons

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."

"The solution lacks self-sufficiency."

"Many findings are too generic or irrelevant to the environment, which can lead to false positives."

"The support must be quicker."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"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."

"There's no software support from McAfee."

"It is not a very advanced solution, and it is for very generic use cases. It cannot cope with the advanced requirements that we're going to have. For example, for multiple authentication failures, it is still based on Windows events for detecting multiple login failures, whereas other companies are going beyond and working on implementing two-factor authentication. It is time to correlate the two-factor authentication results with authentification failures, which is not happening with McAfee ESM. The performance of the tool should be improved because it is very slow. The data display on the console is very slow in McAfee ESM. Its data storage is still old-fashioned, and it should be improved and upgraded to the latest versions. They have to come up with some new ideas to match what other leaders in the same domain are doing. For example, in Splunk, when you search for information for the last 60 days or five months, it quickly shows the information, but that is not the case with McAfee. The results should be quicker and faster on the console. They should integrate some additional features such as User Behavior Analytics (UBA) and automation. The threat intelligence part should also be improved on McAfee."

"McAfee is no more providing security updates on this product, and the enhancements to this product seem to have stopped. Moreover, we don't get proper support, and we struggle to get its support. It would be good if they can add some AI engine and out of the box use cases because it is currently limited to the same scenario and the same setup. I have done a POC for Securonix, LogRhythm. These products are much more ahead as compared to McAfee ESM. They have included multiple modules in the same solution. Correlation is very easy. If McAfee ESM can improve, especially in such implementations, then I believe it would be much better."

"Areas of Trellix ESM that could be improved or enhanced include checking on the clients who are still on-prem, especially banks, as most are not moving everything to the cloud due to confidentiality and accessibility during network outages."

"I would like to see good analytics in future releases."

"Product currently requires Flash."

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."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."

"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."

"The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."

"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."

"The product is slightly expensive."

"The licensing cost is based on EPS."

"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."

"We renew our license annually."
