Featured Reviews

Offers best practice recommendations and supports various compliance standards
Security Hub provides insightful information about what is running and where there might be weaknesses. It offers best practice recommendations and supports various compliance standards such as ISO and PCI DSS. Enabling these compliance checks helps identify non-compliant services and suggests steps to achieve compliance. The main advantage is providing information and compliance insights rather than prevention.
Saif Ullah Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Boosts security by automatically blocking applications or activities, but query responses have been slower recently
For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower. There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results. Another issue is the lack of proper documentation. During investigations, there is no proper documentation available. This is a problem because many people are saying there should be proper documentation explaining what CrowdStrike captures from the machine and the meaning of it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."
"The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate."
"It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale."
"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."
"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."
"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."
"The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."
"The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"The solution has login features like multi factor authentication."
"We like the solution's management and monitoring tools for our network. We use it to monitor our network between workstations and outside our organization. The AI provides useful visualizations of our network on a dashboard."
"It provides alerts on suspicious command executions, helping us safeguard our systems."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include its automation capabilities, efficacy, and lower risk."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."
"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."
"I would like a more fine-grained capability for creating custom rules and a more user-friendly experience programmatically in writing queries and configuring custom security rules, making it quicker and easier."
"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."
"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."
"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."
"I would like a more fine-grained capability for creating custom rules and a more user-friendly experience programmatically in writing queries and configuring custom security rules, making it quicker and easier."
"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."
"I think the UI could be improved, but the technical support said CrowdStrike will improve the UI in the near future. But right now, it’s so messy."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"The SIEM needs to be more developed."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"Customers would benefit it CrowdStrike adopted some of SentinelOne's technologies."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"The tool should do some more tests before going for updates automatically."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL
Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
