"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."
"The solution shows us our compliance score."
"Very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."
"The platform has valuable features for security."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to manage...It is a scalable solution."
"Easily integrates with third-party tools"
"We did previously use a different solution, but SolarWinds is much better. It's easy to interact with SolarWinds. It's easy to operate, easy to configure and is generally easier compared to what we were working with before."
"It's extremely easy to deploy."
"It's easy to build rules and actions based on the logs and event types we collect with the software."
"SolarWinds is effective for server, network, and log monitoring. It's also good for IP address management. We also have a patch manager, but we're still working on getting that operational."
"Some of the rules are most valuable because you can be notified about various things, such as spyware or things that are going on in the internal network."
"It supports high availability, which is very helpful."
"The solution helps you monitor database instances, application instances, other customer application things, Linux servers, IBM servers, and Oracle servers."
"SolarWinds is easy to configure, and it provides timely alerts."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need to add more compliance since, right now, AWS Security Hub only provides four to five compliances to control the tool."
"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."
"One aspect that could be improved in the solution is its adaptability to different markets and geopolitical restrictions. In certain regions like Thailand, specific services from certain countries or providers, such as AWS or Azure, might be limited or blocked. It also needs improvement in would require configuring the solution more adaptable to AWS infrastructure and function."
"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."
"Although AWS Security Hub does a periodic scan of your overall infrastructure, it doesn't do it in real time."
"The solution should be easier to learn and use"
"The support must be quicker."
"The solution lacks self-sufficiency."
"I would like to have a more customizable dashboard."
"The only issue is the pricetag. SolarWinds is a costly solution."
"The company had to use a third party for the implementation of the solution."
"There is no correlation made between log entries, so no threat information is presented."
"It is a very technical program. They can simplify it so that it isn't so hard to deal with."
"SolarWinds should improve its correlation capabilities. The correlation does not automatically detect and reduce the events fast enough. You have to manually do a correlation report, which means the tool is not scalable in many ways."
"I would like to be able to dig deeper into the visibility of events or incidents to determine whether they are malicious, such as by doing behavior analysis."
"Training for this solution needs to be improved, as new employees are sometimes unfamiliar with the product."
