Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The platform has valuable features for security.""The most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud.""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.""It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale.""Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security.""Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature.""The solution shows us our compliance score.""The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."

Cons
"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve.""AWS Security Hub should improve the time it takes to update. It takes a long period of time when updating. It can take 24 hours sometimes to update. Additionally, when integrating this solution with more security tools, takes time.""The solution should be easier to learn and use""The solution lacks self-sufficiency.""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.""Although AWS Security Hub does a periodic scan of your overall infrastructure, it doesn't do it in real time.""We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub.""Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."

More AWS Security Hub Cons →

"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.""The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7.""Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps.""Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries.""It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required.""The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve""Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one.""Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."

  • "​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.​"

  • "It is a reasonably priced solution."
