Has helped identify misconfigurations and prioritize risks but lacks multi-cloud support and deeper integration features
AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS. There are other products in the market for CSPM that can give you multi-cloud environment misconfigurations, even Microsoft for that matter. Regarding the integration of AWS Security Hub with third-party tools, I am not certain whether we can integrate them, but there is no need to do so. However, AWS Security Hub cannot integrate with other cloud providers, so it only supports the AWS environment. The compliance checks within AWS Security Hub are good, but we don't use them much. We utilize compliance frameworks such as CIS compliance frameworks and ISO 27017 framework, which are beneficial, but it can improve in other areas too, such as including NIST and other frameworks beyond just ISO and CIS. Improvements can be applicable for scalability, particularly on integration with multi-cloud environments, and compliance frameworks can be added for more variety as well. The unified dashboard in AWS Security Hub is adequate; I cannot say it is exceptional, but the content available in the dashboards is satisfactory for now.

Provides strong detection capabilities but requires improvements in parsing and stability
I cannot think of any specific features that LogRhythm SIEM can improve upon since it supports a wide variety of major vendors. However, they need to improve their parsing techniques; the tool should understand various devices and present data in a human-readable format. For example, if a personal Android mobile needs to be integrated, LogRhythm SIEM should be able to parse that data effectively. They also need to improve their database of supported devices to cover smaller vendors alongside the major players, allowing for better global reach and usability. I have noticed some problems with parsing errors, event mismatches, and data mismatching, so ensuring accurate parsing and continuous improvement according to device updates are my basic expectations as a detection engineer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution is very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."
"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."
"Within AWS Security Hub, there is a feature for aggregating and prioritizing security findings which allows for better risk prioritization based on misconfiguration, as they know AWS thoroughly."
"Though I'm still in the initial evaluation phase for AWS Security Hub, I would recommend it to others because it has good features."
"The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate."
"Very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."
"The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."
"File Integrity Monitoring is really valuable because we have it set up on our core assets. This is one of the key features that I utilize. We also use it quite a lot for event management to do reporting."
"Technical support has always been helpful."
"Within three hours of installation of LogRhythm, we were pulling error reports that actually indicated we had a switch about to fail, and it saved us about ten thousand dollars of a potential failed switch."
"The ability for me to go into the Web UI, and just learn what's going on in my environment."
"In terms of alarms and AI intelligence, we see that LogRhythm is giving more accurate and meaningful events compared to the others."
"Customer service and technical support were both excellent, and we experienced no issues with stability or scalability while using the solution for security logging and traffic-aware reporting."
"It has helped us centralize and have better visibility into devices on our network. We are better able to respond to threats in a timely manner."
"LogRhythm is scalable, it's robust, they're constantly growing it, their tech support is good, their Professional Services are good."
 

Cons

"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."
"The solution is not wholly self-sufficient."
"Right now, there are some difficulties we're facing with AWS Security Hub, and we need our central team to mitigate the issues."
"Many findings are too generic or irrelevant to the environment, which can lead to false positives."
"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"
"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."
"The user interface, graphs, and dashboards of the solution could improve in the future. They are not very sophisticated and could use an update."
"More features that I would like to see more development in are the automation and the smart response."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM could improve by adding more applications for the banking sector. There are not any custom applications at this time."
"More help and assistance with some of the open source products, everything seems to be focused on Windows versus giving some guidance and some documentation on how to use it."
"I would probably look for more things to go into the web console that is currently on the fat client."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"I would like to see support added for Exchange 2016, and CheckPoint OPSec Lea."
"There have been issues with the hardware which has resulted in the LRM going down a few times."
"They're hard to get a hold of. We've tried to work with a couple of engineering department guys there; we've called them and called them but we never hear anything back."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is based on the number of compliances, core checks, and services required, and for more than 10,000 recommendations, the charge is just one dollar."
"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."
"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."
"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."
"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
"Look for whatever will give you the most value. That's the main point. It is not one size fits all."
"The support which allows more customized to the environment when we are deploying new systems is called Professional Service and is very expensive. The technical annual support and there is an annual fee."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"We did a five-year agreement. We pay close to a quarter of a million dollars for our solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, I'd rate the pricing of this solution as a seven - not too expensive but not cheap either. Regarding licensing costs, it varies depending on factors like being a partner or an end user, but there are no additional costs aside from standard licensing fees for the basic SIEM solution."
"It costs a great amount, but its pricing is competitive with some of the other vendors. For licensing and support, we pay about 20,000. There are no additional costs or anything like that."

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…
