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.

Great support, scalable, and easier to code

The stability of the solution has room for improvement. I would like Swimlane to provide a single space where we can go to code, build, and automate. Where we have a provision to create tables, playbooks, and tables to produce results, connect all the dots, and make the flow automated. This would make it much easier to navigate than having to jump to different places. I would like to have a single button to click that would start me on the journey of creating my own code from the ground up, from the workflow algorithm to the automation process. This would be simpler than what I had with Splunk Phantom, where I had to piece things together and connect the dots to get the full picture. With this new feature, I could create the full picture with just one button click.

Cons

"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."

"The support must be quicker."

"The solution should be easier to learn and use"

"Many findings are too generic or irrelevant to the environment, which can lead to false positives."

"Shortening the response time for support tickets, particularly in production issues, could make the service more efficient."

"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."

"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."

"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"I would prefer to have more colors added to represent different risks or notations, which can be used for the prioritization of risks and the significance of information."

"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."

"One of the disadvantages of Swimlane is that to manage the platform, we need hardcore developers."

"The initial setup and deployment are complex."

"There is a need for enhanced version control in Swimlane. Currently, our version does not support it, making it tough to move changes between environments during significant updates."

"I would like to see improvements in the minor bugs that occur with each update, as some features might have issues."

"Swimlane is not scalable because it is not exposed. Currently, it's a manual component that requires configuration through coding."

"We faced a lot of issues with the product’s stability."

More Swimlane cons

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

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
