"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to manage...It is a scalable solution.""Very good at detection and providing real-time alerts.""AWS Security Hub provides comprehensive alerts about potential compliance issues with CIS standards.

All our workloads are on AWS.""The solution shows us our compliance score.""Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security.""Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature.""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.""The most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."

"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before.""Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network""Performance and reporting are very good.""The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics.""The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult.""NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect.""The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools.""I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."

Cons
"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.""AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve.""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.""The solution lacks self-sufficiency.""The support must be quicker.""We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in 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."

More AWS Security Hub Cons →

"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement.""Technical support could be improved.""If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis.""Its technical support could be better.""The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar.""The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms.""The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement.""The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
