We performed a comparison between AWS Security Hub and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"The platform has valuable features for security."
"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."
"I find all of the features to be highly valuable."
"AWS Security Hub has very good integration features. It allows for AWS native services integration, and it helps us to integrate some of the services outside of AWS. They have partners, such as Amazon Preferred Network Partners (APN). If you have different security tools around APN, we can integrate those findings with AWS Security Hub reducing the need to refer to different portals or different UIs. You can have AWS Security Hub act as a single common go-to dashboard."
"Easily integrates with third-party tools"
"It gives me notifications of notable events."
"The ability to ingest different log types from many different products in our environment is most valuable."
"The connections to the database are very good and updating the data files is simple to do. The dashboards are useful and user-friendly."
"The feature that we use the most is the correlation search engine within ES."
"Exporting is a good feature. It helps me out when I have to do reports. I do a lot of exporting and crunching of the numbers. Dashboards are okay for showing to the leadership, but for doing statistics and updating tickets, the export feature is very beneficial for me."
"The reporting aspect is good and it does what I need it to do."
"It has virtual visualization, and other products do not."
"The visibility is amazing with easy dashboard creation."
"The solution should be easier to learn and use"
"The user interface, graphs, and dashboards of the solution could improve in the future. They are not very sophisticated and could use an update."
"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."
"The solution will only give you insight if you have configure rule enabled. It should work more like Prisma Cloud and Dome9 which have a better approach."
"The telemetry doesn't always go into the control center. When you have multiple instances running in AWS, you need a control tower to take feeds from Security Hub and analyze your results. Sometimes exemptions aren't passed between the control tower and Security Hub. The configuration gets mixed up or you don't get the desired results."
"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."
"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."
"If possible, we would like to have not only a log monitoring system but a network monitoring feature in this solution as well."
"This is a costly solution."
"This is not really a monitoring solution."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"Previously, they developed custom connectors or add-ons for a lot of applications. But that number can be upgraded still. There are a lot of applications in the world that are not supported."
"The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us."
"The threat detection system has room for improvement."
"The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about it."
