Executive SummaryUpdated on Sep 18, 2024

Logz.io and AWS Security Hub compete in the security management platform category. AWS Security Hub seems to have the upper hand due to its richer feature set and integration capabilities, despite higher costs.

Features: Logz.io offers strong monitoring and analytics capabilities, ease of integrating log data from various sources, and accessible pricing. AWS Security Hub provides extensive integration with AWS services, automated compliance checks, and a comprehensive security feature set.

Room for Improvement: Logz.io could improve alert management, make the configuration process more intuitive, and enhance dashboard customization. AWS Security Hub requires better dashboard customization, more detailed documentation, and flexibility in integration options.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Logz.io is praised for its straightforward deployment process and responsive customer support. AWS Security Hub is comprehensive but complex in deployment due to its integration with multiple AWS services, though it benefits from detailed support documentation.

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.

The solution is a consistent logging platform that provides excellent query mechanisms

We can query a lot of data points and build dashboards. The vendor is good at adjusting their models. Most companies want us to forecast our yearly use and pay it upfront on day one. With Logz.io, we commit to use 14 TB in a year. However, they measure us every month and give us a monthly bill. Depending on our monthly usage, we pay for 14 TB divided by 12 months or a little extra. It's a little bit more like AWS. Other solutions do not do it. They want their money upfront. We really like the dashboards. We have 36 sub-accounts. Each sub-account is an app, and we could put restrictions on that app. Previously, there were capacity restrictions on the sub-accounts. If we have a sub-account of 1 TB and use only 100 GB, we waste 900 GB that day. We could not share it between sub-accounts. Now, they provide an overhead volume. We do a reserve, and any sub-account could use anything over the reserve. It utilizes our footprint better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Security Hub provides insightful information about what is running and where there might be weaknesses."

"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 most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."

"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."

"The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."

"The solution shows us our compliance score."

"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."

"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."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."

"InsightOne is the main reason why we use LogMeIn. This is mostly because of log data that we are pushing tools and logs in general."

"It is massively useful and great for testing. We can just go, find logs, and attach them easily. It has a very quick lookup. Whereas, before we would have to go, dig around, and find the server that the logs were connected to, then go to the server, download the log, and attach it. Now, we can just go straight to this solution, type in the log ID and server ID, and obtain the information that we want."

"We use the tool to track the dev and production environment."

"The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature. It's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs. We can see status really clearly and very fast, with just a couple of clicks."

"The other nice thing about Logz.io is their team. When it comes to onboarding, their support is incredibly proactive. They bring the brand experience from a customer services perspective because their team is always there to help you refine filters and tweak dashboards. That is really a useful thing to have. Their engagement is really supportive."

"The query mechanism for response codes and application health is valuable."

"The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues."

Cons

"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."

"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."

"The support must be quicker."

"Although AWS Security Hub does a periodic scan of your overall infrastructure, it doesn't do it in real time."

"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."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities. It would be beneficial for Security Hub to implement preventative measures and to directly apply recommendations instead of just suggesting them."

"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API."

"I would like them to improve how they manage releases. Some of our integrations integrate specifically with set versions. Logz.io occasionally releases an update that might break that integration. On one occasion, we found out a little bit too late, then we had to roll it back."

"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two."

"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."

"The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring."

"When it comes to reducing our troubleshooting time, it depends. When there are no bugs in Logz.io, it reduces troubleshooting by 5 to 10 percent. When there are bugs, it increases our troubleshooting time by 200 percent or more."

"The solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well."

"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."

"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 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's pricing is pretty reasonable."

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"You pay for what you need, and that is a good model. They are also quite happy to talk to you about your uses and your use case. They will even go as far as suggesting things that you don't need to do in order to save you money. At one point, I was quite surprised at how cheap it could be if we wanted it to be or how much they would help us manage our costs."

"The tool is an open source product."

"At the time it was set up, we thought Logz.io was very reasonable for what we were getting in terms of how much time and hosting costs it was saving us, because you don't have to run the servers for it anymore."

"The product's pricing is cheaper than other solutions."

"The product is a little expensive."

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…
