    Chose AWS Security Hub
    The GuardDuty and Inspector components have been invaluable for us. We don't use all of AWS Security Hub because we're comfortable with the our other tooling which we use for other aspect of our IT operations.

    I don't think there's yet a perfect tool in this category of security and incident aggregators, but AWS Security Hub is an excellent tool for having visibility into our overall security posture. It is a great aggregator for many AWS services but also for third party security tools with which it integrates really well.

    Datadog works really well with complex microservices architecture like any E-commerce platform which will be having multiple services but they all are interdependent to others so in this scenario Datadog will be best to monitor these as it will show the transactions also between those microservices. If you are using multiple services in your architecture whether it will be cloud services or on prem services Datadog will be the best choice to monitor all those service with in Datadog so that you can see everything in a single place. But if you are having small architecture and few services in that then in that scenario you can use Datadog but it will be little costly as compared to other but obviously the features are very well.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • Not easy to read past data, especially once it moves into Glacier deep storage
    • performance is somewhat sluggish ... other systems are much faster to analyze data
    • Doesn't always provide a remediation solution or suggested fix like other 3rd party tools like Qualys.
    • It's hard to get the initial configuration and enrollment completed as there's a lot of manual intervention for every configured rule that needs to be enabled
    • alerts are often times delayed

    Datadog
    • Alert windows cause lag in notifications (e.g. if the alert window is X errors in 1 hour, we won't get alerted until the end of the 1 hour range)
    • I would appreciate more supportive examples for how to filter and view metrics in the explorer
    • I would like a more clear interface for metrics that are missing in a time frame, rather than only showing tags/etc. for metrics that were collected within the currently viewed time frame

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    AWS always good with usability and same here for AWS Security Hub. A lot of good documentation is available to read and configure your own. We also started with looking at the videos and documentation to configure automation for our compliance checks. And to configure there are very less steps to be followed which is a very good thing for faster configuration.

    There is some room for improvement, but the Datadog team sends out updates frequently, and the UI is user-friendly for engineers, with no significant loading issues or region-specific problems. That was one of the key reasons we preferred Datadog; our company has employees worldwide, and it wasn't difficult to transition to the tool.

    The support team usually gets it right. We did have a rather complicate issue setting up monitoring on a domain controller. However, they are usually responsive and helpful over chat. The downside would be I don’t think they have any phone support. If that is important to you this might not be a good fit.

    AWS Security Hub is it's own unique program that I have used. I haven't used anything similar to it and it was worth it to try out. However, for those that want to keep for long, it will be very heavy in term of budget and resource that they have to provide.

    We are still trying other products, but people still like Datadog. After setting up a dashboard, it's great for monitoring instances on Datadog. Also, the DevOps team had a good time setting up Datadog. It means Datadog was way easier to set up compared to those others.

    Return on Investment
    Amazon AWS
    • The automated compliance test helped us a lot to get PCIDSS certified so it was a very good return for our investments.
    • Some third party tools we were using were not available for AWS Security Hub automated testing.
    • Easy to configure for faster security automations but if we need detailed reports we should add more tools.

    • Saved us (time & money) from developing our own monitoring utilities that would pale in comparison
    • Alerts allow us to remedy issues before our customers even know about them
    • Tracking resource usage over time allows us to better plan for future needs, before it becomes a pain-point.
