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 features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud.""The solution shows us our compliance score.""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.""It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale.""I find all of the features to be highly valuable.""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.""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.""Easily integrates with third-party tools"

"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs.""The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly.""InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents.""The technical support is a solid 10 out of 10 as they take the time to answer any questions or problems which may arise in a reasonable time frame.""I like that it's a cloud-based solution.""InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly.""If you were on other solutions, you would notice that they use agents from third-party, from open-source, from a native OS, or from other tools. Here, however, it is an agent from Rapid7 itself. This adds to the solution's overall capabilities.""The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons
"The solution should be easier to learn and use""We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub.""The user interface, graphs, and dashboards of the solution could improve in the future. They are not very sophisticated and could use an update.""It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments.""Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of 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.""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."

More AWS Security Hub Cons →

"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required.""Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries.""Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement.""They should add more configuration and security features to it.""Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA).""The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help.""I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert.""It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"

  • More AWS Security Hub Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
  • "The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
  • "Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
  • "​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
  • "The pricing and licensing are competitive."
  • "Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
  • "It is a reasonably priced solution."
  • "It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
