Global IT Director at OpenWeb

Automation workflows have transformed our IT, enabling secure just-in-time access control

We work with them quite often, so we have a direct line regarding areas in Torq that have room for improvement. If we have a feature request, we can request it. I do not have anything in mind at the moment. We were a design partner for a short while, so we feel that they listen and that users of the system have an impact on the way the system is designed for the better. They have a new community, which is something that I personally suggested years ago. There are many people like me in different places and they might have already built the workflow that I need. Having the option to share workflows or to jump on a thread and say I have this need, did anyone ever build a workflow for it, is amazing. Someone would jump in and say yes, sure, here, take this workflow. I think this is an amazing thing and I really hope that the community will come alive because I think this is really powerful. This is something that I already suggested and it did happen eventually, and I am quite happy with it. I do not have any specific feature in mind that I have a need for at the moment.

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.

Task persistence and integration ease have been key benefits

The best part of Swimlane is the persistent notifications and its ease of integration, requiring minimal coding. While it lacks response features, it can be integrated with messaging or queue services to achieve this. Any incident response requires additional integration since Swimlane itself doesn't react to incidents. Real-time data in terms of persistence is configurable, and without config, tasks persist indefinitely until completion. If using Appian versions below 11, integration features for Swimlane aren't available. By default, Swimlane lacks built-in intelligence, needing coding for integration. Although the Swimlane is beneficial and reduces manpower requirements, it's hindered by its lack of exposure. If exposed through services or endpoints, its functionality could be accessed without needing a local standalone application. On a scale of one to ten, this solution deserves a rating of nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."

"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."

"Once I started to use the system and I saw the potential, it changed all of our work in IT."

"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."

"The solution shows us our compliance score."

"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."

"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to manage...It is a scalable solution."

"The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate."

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

"It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"The technical support from Swimlane is very good."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the support."

"We are using it for a SOAR platform at a Cyber Security company which is MSSP."

"Swimlane is a very effective way to represent workflows involving multiple users."

"On a scale of one to ten, this solution deserves a rating of nine."

"The biggest advantage of Swimlane for us is that it saves time, which in turn helps us in cost-saving."

"Swimlane enables two SOC analysts to work efficiently as much as ten analysts would without Swimlane, which translates to significant manpower savings."

"Our primary goal was to reduce analyst time, and we have been successful in that."

More Swimlane pros

Cons

"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."

"It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet."

"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."

"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."

"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."

"The solution should be easier to learn and use"

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

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

"The solution lacks self-sufficiency."

"AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS."

"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."

More AWS Security Hub cons

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

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

"Swimlane's search bar is not working effectively, and there is no option to differentiate between two cases at the same time."

"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."

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

"The initial setup and deployment are complex."

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

More Swimlane cons
