Featured Reviews

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.
Vinay Patel D N - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective with good log analytics but needs better rule correlation
The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk. Sometimes logs will not fetch, and there are issues if the log volume exceeds a threshold. Not every tool is integrated with Sumo Logic. The response time for their support could be better, and it is not very user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate Security Hub ten out of ten for stability."
"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's unified dashboard does help streamline my process of identifying vulnerabilities, but we don't use Inspector."
"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."
"Currently, our organization utilizes AWS for various purposes, including SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and hosting applications in the cloud. We develop our applications and use AWS services as a platform for basic functions and secondary development needs. Additionally, we rely on PaaS for accounting services. Approximately, 50% of our applications are hosted in the cloud environment, making it a significant part of our current setup."
"I find all of the features to be highly valuable."
"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."
"Security Hub provides insightful information about what is running and where there might be weaknesses."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The most valuable features of Sumo Logic Security are the rules, use cases, and ease of use. Additionally, the integration is straightforward and good GUI."
 

Cons

"Whenever my team gets some alarms from the central team, my team needs to initiate whether it's a real or false trigger. The central team needs to keep adjusting to the parameters or at least the concerned IPs, whether it's really from the company's pool of IPs, so the trigger process can be improved. In the next release of AWS Security Hub, I'd like a better dashboard that could result in better alert visibility."
"I would like a more fine-grained capability for creating custom rules and a more user-friendly experience programmatically in writing queries and configuring custom security rules, making it quicker and easier."
"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."
"The user interface, graphs, and dashboards of the solution could improve in the future. They are not very sophisticated and could use an update."
"The solution should be easier to learn and use"
"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."
"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."
"The solution lacks self-sufficiency."
"The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."
"It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"The API integration in Sumo Logic Security could improve. There are delayed connections or they stop and then automatically start. Having a seamless log collection would be beneficial."
"In terms of improvement, feedback indicates there is a need for a local data center in my country. This is crucial to sell to the government and financial sectors as they require data retention within each country."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"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."
"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."
"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
"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."
"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."
"The AWS Marketplace pricing is borderline. Every annual renewal, we always contemplate if we are getting what we think we could out of it or could we do it cheaper with some other product."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."

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…
