We performed a comparison between AWS Security Hub and Skyhigh Security based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Features: Skyhigh Security provides robust security features such as URL spam filtering, encrypted disk and endpoint protection, easy rule configuration, and efficient backup features. On the other hand, AWS Security Hub is highly appreciated for its integration capabilities, real-time alert capabilities, and ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on resources. Skyhigh Security needs to strengthen its virtual solutions, improve local application integration and encrypted disk implementation, and provide better support for unsanctioned apps and API integration. AWS Security Hub requires better integration options, UI, dashboards, self-sufficiency, and configuration and integration.
Service and Support: AWS Security Hub's technical support is efficient and satisfactory, whereas Skyhigh Security's support varies greatly. Some users have had satisfactory experiences, while others have had frustrating experiences with slow response times and uncooperative engineers. The level of support appears to be influenced by the technician and subscription plan.
Ease of Deployment: Skyhigh Security's setup is difficult and can take a long time, requiring familiarity with McAfee and cloud security as well as knowledge of Linux. On the other hand, AWS Security Hub's setup is simple and low-maintenance.
Pricing: Skyhigh Security has a higher setup cost than AWS Security Hub, but their licensing is paid annually and considered reasonable. Pricing for Skyhigh Security may need improvement according to some reviewers. AWS Security Hub is reasonably priced and not too expensive compared to other options.
ROI: Skyhigh Security provides enhanced protection, decreased chance of security breaches, greater monitoring and management of cloud usage, and simplified adherence to regulations. AWS Security Hub only references a beneficial result.
Comparison Results: AWS Security Hub is the preferred choice over Skyhigh Security due to its strong integration capabilities with AWS services and third-party tools, as well as its easy setup process and reasonable pricing. Skyhigh Security offers efficient backup features but lacks support for unsanctioned applications and has weak API integration and limited training resources.
"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."
"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."
"The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."
"The product supports out-of-the-box reporting with context about the asset and allows us to perform complex custom queries on UI."
"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."
"I like Wiz's reporting, and it's easy to do queries. For example, it's pretty simple to find out how many servers we have and the applications installed on each. I like Wiz's security graph because you can use it to see the whole organization even if you have multiple accounts."
"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to manage...It is a scalable solution."
"Very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."
"The platform has valuable features for security."
"It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale."
"The solution shows us our compliance score."
"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."
"I find all of the features to be highly valuable."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."
"Offers a very strong URL spam filtering feature."
"Without Skyhigh, we had zero visibility, but now we are aware of so much more."
"In terms of their compatibility with major cloud providers, in terms of their abilities, capabilities, and features, they exceed everyone's capabilities in the CASB market."
"The management is very good."
"The product has a very high rating from reviewers. It's a well-respected product."
"What's most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its level of security. Another valuable feature of the solution is threat analysis."
"Overall, the performance is good."
"The most valuable features of McAfee Web Gateway are anti-malware, reports, and powerful categorization of web pages."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."
"Given the level of visibility into all the cloud environments Wiz provides, it would be nice if they could integrate some kind of mechanism to better manage tenants on multiple platforms. For example, let's say that some servers don't have an application they need, such as an antivirus. Wiz could include an API or something to push those applications out to the servers. It would be great if you could remedy these issues directly from the Wiz platform."
"We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately."
"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."
"The solution's container security could be improved."
"The only small pain point has been around some of the logging integrations. Some of the complexities of the script integrations aren't supported with some of the more automated infrastructure components. So, it's not as universal. For example, they have great support for cloud formation and other services, but if you're using another type of management utility or governance language for your infrastructure-as-code automation components, it becomes a little bit trickier to navigate that."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."
"Security needs to be measured based on their own criteria. We can't add custom criteria specific to our organization. For example, having an S3 bucket publicly available might be flagged as a critical alert, but it might not be critical in a sandbox environment. So, it gets flagged as critical, which becomes a false positive. So, customization options and creating custom dashboards would be areas for improvement."
"The support must be quicker."
"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."
"The documentation could be improved."
"De-tokenization."
"The cloud needs improvement with respect to DLP."
"Its initial setup could be more straightforward."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The secure gateway could be improved."
"There isn't really any aspect that is lacking."
"I would like to see more power being given to the admin. In the sense that in case an employee is facing an issue and they want to configure a service, like attaching an email in Gmail, for example, they should be given the option to make the service request and get that configured on the go."
