Review summaries and opinions

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

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.0
AWS Security Hub support is praised for its prompt technical assistance but could improve email response efficiency.
Sentiment score
5.5
Wiz support is highly rated for responsiveness, knowledgeable staff, and effective communication, despite initial contact and resolution time challenges.
AWS ProLogitech Support is very helpful and timely, especially at the enterprise level.
We can always reach our account representative when we have a problem or need to speak with technical staff to clarify things.
It is some of the best post-sales support ever received.
They recently changed to Zendesk, which has been so much better.
 

Room For Improvement

Sentiment score
4.5
AWS Security Hub needs real-time scanning improvements, better integrations, enhanced compliance, cost control, and user-friendly features.
Sentiment score
4.8
Wiz needs enhanced remediation, logging, executive reporting, customizable dashboards, integration, cost efficiency, and improved network visibility.
A more user-friendly experience programmatically in writing queries and configuring custom security rules.
We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately.
Wiz is the first vendor I've worked with that has turnaround feature requests in less than a month.
We are trying to figure out how to increase the frequency of the scans, as some universities do not wait a day before they know if something is exposed.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
AWS Security Hub is scalable and efficient for multi-account operations but less effective in multi-cloud environments.
Sentiment score
8.3
Wiz is praised for its scalable SaaS capabilities, adapting automatically to various demands, with minor cost management challenges.
This solution is very scalable; if I add resources to new accounts, they are automatically monitored.
We have deployed Wiz in three organizations on AWS, each with approximately 70 to 80 accounts, totaling more than 120 accounts.
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
 

Setup Cost

Sentiment score
5.0
AWS Security Hub offers flexible, cost-effective subscription models, appealing to enterprises for its affordability and included cloud security features.
No sentiment score available
Wiz's pricing evolves with feature-based tiers, offering value in security but raises concerns about cost and transparency.
Early adopters got an excellent deal, but it became pricey when they became the market leader.
There is room for improvement on our pricing models, so it would be nice if Wiz could share the price beforehand rather than onboarding and then having pricing based on utilization.
We got results with Wiz immediately; we installed it and met our goal during the four-week trial.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
AWS Security Hub is highly regarded for its stability, frequent updates, and reliable performance, though improvement is suggested by some.
Sentiment score
6.5
Wiz is mostly stable, with resolved issues and high user satisfaction, despite minor login and alert discrepancies during implementation.
We have not encountered any issues with Wiz since I have been here, and it remained stable with no downtime or changes required.
We've only had downtime from maintenance and updates, and they notify us in advance, so we aren't impacted.
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten.
 

Valuable Features

Sentiment score
7.6
AWS Security Hub enhances cloud security by integrating services, offering centralized management, real-time alerts, and compliance evaluations.
Sentiment score
8.7
Wiz offers risk prioritization, contextual visibility, and agentless scanning to enhance vulnerability management, efficiency, and remediation strategies.
The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate.
After implementing it, we're able to get all of the analytics into a single platform that gives us visibility across all the systems in our cloud.
It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents.
Leveraging this technology saves us not only precious engineering time but also money developing and investing in other overlapping solutions.

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.

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…
