A centralized dashboard that enables efficient monitoring and management of possible security issues

Highly scalable, stable, and offers excellent technical support
I use Falcon Cloud Security as our primary EDR solution, integrated with Splunk for alert management. While Falcon effectively mitigates many threats automatically, we leverage it for targeted threat hunting when we observe unusual patterns or a high occurrence of specific tactics. This allows us…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Currently, our organization utilizes AWS for various purposes, including SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and hosting applications in the cloud. We develop our applications and use AWS services as a platform for basic functions and secondary development needs. Additionally, we rely on PaaS for accounting services. Approximately, 50% of our applications are hosted in the cloud environment, making it a significant part of our current setup."
"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."
"Very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."
"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 best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."
"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."
"The platform has valuable features for security."
"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."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"The scalability of the product has been great."
"The solution has login features like multi factor authentication."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"Technical support is helpful."
"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."
 

Cons

"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."
"The solution should be easier to learn and use"
"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."
"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."
"The support must be quicker."
"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."
"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."
"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."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"AWS Security Hub is not an expensive tool. I would consider it to be a cheap solution. AWS Security Hub follows the PAYG pricing model, meaning you will have to pay for whatever you use."
"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."
"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."
"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"Its price is moderate."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"It's an expensive product"
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
