Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 5, 2024

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and AWS Security Hub are competitors in the security management realm. AWS Security Hub appears to have an advantage due to its integration with AWS services, providing superior cloud-focused security visibility.

Features: McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator provides centralized management of antivirus, firewall, and network security. It allows centralized virus signatures and patch updates via agents installed on user PCs, brings comprehensive endpoint management, and includes data loss prevention features to protect against USB-based threats. AWS Security Hub integrates natively with AWS services, offers a consolidated view of security across AWS accounts, and conducts automated compliance checks, particularly beneficial for cloud environments.

Room for Improvement: McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator could improve by enhancing cloud integration, simplifying complex on-premise deployments, and reducing initial setup costs. AWS Security Hub might benefit from refining its user interface for less clutter, providing better hybrid cloud model analysis, and offering a more competitive pricing structure for hybrid environments.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: AWS Security Hub excels in deployment for cloud environments with straightforward integration into AWS ecosystems and provides extensive cloud-support resources. McAfee, with its focus on on-premise setups, requires more complex deployment processes and may necessitate more support for such configurations, affecting ease of deployment.

Pricing and ROI: McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator involves higher initial setup costs due to its on-premise nature but offers significant ROI through extensive endpoint management capabilities. AWS Security Hub aligns with a pay-as-you-go model common in cloud services, potentially offering better ROI for businesses focused on cloud operations. AWS Security Hub's cost-effectiveness in cloud-centric environments generally results in favorable financial outcomes compared to McAfee's upfront investment.

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.

Director at Scybers

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.

Comprehensive security management enabled through efficient integration and automation

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator helps automate routine security tasks. We created customized automation. For example, when we did not have an EDR or XDR solution, we created tasks exclusively for detection and response automation and automatic segregation of infected PCs. The ability to customize the dashboard in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator helps us significantly. The main feature is automation for auto-segmentation and segregation. As we are in an AI era, McAfee can focus on AI tools. Instead of putting manual effort into each security-related task, it can implement more advanced automation using AI. This enhancement could improve cybersecurity significantly. Regarding the reporting area in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, we are satisfied with what we currently have. Our cybersecurity team needs customized reports beyond the default ones. We have more than 20 separate reports for identifying threats, managing, and understanding the security posture of our company and assets.

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."

"If I review about 100 vendors that I might work with, Torq is definitely in the top five that gave me personally investment back, just because every bit of effort I put into Torq eventually became a workflow that gave it back to me."

"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."

"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 most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."

"I find all of the features to be highly valuable."

"The platform has valuable features for security."

"Easily integrates with third-party tools"

"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."

"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 most valuable feature of the solution is the central management console, which is used for DLP, endpoint security, drive encryption, and application control."

"The valuable feature of the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is the management of the policies."

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator's performance is good."

"The policy auditing, policy management, and device auditing are all valuable features. Our customers appreciated the ability to get alerts to system-wide events from a single view."

"The central manager policy means we have almost all client modules in one solution."

"The central management console is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"The most valuable feature of the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is agent communication."

"McAfee is helping us to clean all of the viruses from the machines, protecting our desktops from the latest threats."

More McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator pros

Cons

"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."

"Even now, we have workflows that are in production that use AI steps and I get different results, making it unusable to some degree."

"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."

"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."

"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."

"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."

"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."

"The support must be quicker."

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

"The user interface, graphs, and dashboards of the solution could improve in the future. They are not very sophisticated and could use an update."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"Features such as full drive encryption are lacking in the cloud version."

"The areas of concern where improvements are needed are related to the product's assignment policy and tag assignment, where users can assign the policies with the help of tags and sort out the systems."

"The impact of the agent on the endpoint's performance - the resources it takes. Additionally, the difficulties we experience with inheriting and breaking inheritance on the organization's structure breakdown for policy inheritance and then for rules inheritance. We are actually struggling with this."

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator needs to upgrade its technology since the solution's EDR function is not good compared to other vendors in the market."

"The solution sometimes has some false positives on IP addresses, from the web control aspect of the product. This needs to be improved."

"While there are bugs and a few functionality issues, it is just a matter of raising them with the support team. However, support is part of the problem as well. You want everything to be seamless in a perfect world, but the support is spread across different countries. They have Level 1, 2, and 3. Level 1 is most likely in a developing country. They don't provide the best service."

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator needs to upgrade the technology; it's like their area function is not quite as good as compared to other market vendors."

"The solution is difficult to tune to avoid false positives."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty 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."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

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

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

"It is attractively priced. It is a fraction of what we're going to pay for CrowdStrike or SentinelOne, but it only has a fraction of the capabilities as well."

"For large enterprise companies, the price should be alright, but for small businesses, the uptake might be slow because, for these clients, the price doesn't look very attractive."

"$The price of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is expensive, it is approximately $6,000 to $9,000 per license annually."

"It's an expensive solution"

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is not an expensive solution."

"Compared to other Antivirus products, the cost of this solution is a bit high."

"There is a license required to use this solution. If we use the additional components, such as DLP encryption, there is an additional cost. However, it is similar to a separate product altogether. If you want to use that or not, it is optional, but when you use it, it will cost you additional pricing."

"McAfee tries to package different things into different products, then sell them as different products with different licenses. They just split everything up into multiple things. That's just their sales pitch and how they do it."
