MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Mohammed Nadeem Rais - PeerSpot reviewer
The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.
The most valuable feature of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is its advance analytics, flexibility and scalability. We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation. This makes it a robust and cost-effective solution for our needs. Its user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) are also integral for detecting insider threats and lateral movements within the organization. These features help organizations strengthen their security posture, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with strict regulatory requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."
"AWS Security Hub can check your infrastructure against multiple compliance frameworks. You can turn on or off specific frameworks based on your needs."
"The platform has valuable features for security."
"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."
"I rate Security Hub ten out of ten for stability."
"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."
"The solution shows us our compliance score."
"The most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."
"The two major features of this product we extensively use are the UEBA capability and the multi-tenant approach with the centralized data logs system. Customers are very happy with these features."
"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."
"The solution's AI features reduce the need for manual analysis and help in decision-making. It displays the report in seconds. It saves my resources three to four hours of work."
"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."
"They are very updated. Their customer responses are great, and they keep using the new AI tools to keep themselves at the edge of the game."
"The solution is time-saving, particularly in the long run after it is deployed, enabling us to get value promptly."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
 

Cons

"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."
"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."
"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."
"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."
"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."
"Many findings are too generic or irrelevant to the environment, which can lead to false positives."
"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."
"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."
"Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's deployment is complex and you need a team to do it."
"We thought they were going to be a great product, however, they're actually not great at all as an MSP."
"The customization in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is more difficult compared to other solutions. At the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present."
"The dashboards in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM need more customization and informational capabilities."
"Securonix could open up information regarding the indicators of compromise or cyber-threat intelligence database that they use. The idea is that they share what threats they are detecting."
"Parsing needs to be improved. Every time we integrate a new, specific data source, we face a lot of problems in parsing, even for the old data source."
"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."
"Sometimes, there is instability in the data in terms of the customization of the time. I have sometimes observed discrepancies in the data, which is something they should work on. They should bring more stability to time customization. If we are seeing a particular data, when we change the time zone, there should be the same data. There should not be any discrepancy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."
"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"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 price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."
"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."
"We went in on a three-year agreement which has an annual licensing fee, based upon the number of people that we're monitoring. There have not been any additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Its pricing is quite similar to others and is very competitive. The other solutions have different types of licensing, but when you do the math, it is competitive."
"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."
"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."
"We have a license from our 5.0, so that license just continued. We paid them the extra cloud-hosting costs for a year which were about $300,000."
"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."
"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."

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…
