Amazon Inspector Reviews & Product Details

It’s very easy to integrate with AWS resources, and it automatically finds vulnerabilities and reports them properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its UI isn’t very good, and it’s not easy to find issues or figure out how to fix them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

• Super easy to set up, didn’t need to dig through docs.

• I like how it just finds security issues on its own and tells me what to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

• Sometimes the scan takes a bit longer than I expect.

• The pricing part’s kinda confusing at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Monitoring is one part which is very essentials eg, VPC flow logs, s3 logs, API logs, system logs with aggregators etc . But analysing the logs as centralized hub , security hub provides the context. Along side coming to compliance , macie with its AI ML models , able to identify PII in S3. More that these, custome logs can also be formatter into ASAF using services like Lamba intervined. Which threat own threat intelligence capablitiy and custom integration to SIEM solution offers visibility across the environment. Apart from service, aws provides a lot of resources for industary standards and that keeps us upto date and skilled. Support is alwasys a second option , as I get everything from easy documented materials. Day to day getting used, gave a clear explames of scenarios where I can act upon a breach or an event with the available service. which helped me to understand the risks and what security controls are needed.

Image recongnikition where photocopies of Sensitive information are elsewhere, not sure where to get the docs. But with few service capablities, was able to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have 100+ servers. Most of the updates are automatic, but some applications are not. Inspector is great at determining what applications are installed and providing a list of which ones are out of date with regard to security vulnerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our only issue is that it's not available when new regions are launched. I understand that it takes time to implement all resources in a new region, but I had hoped that it would be available within 6 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS provides a brief control over the infrastructure security, but two features i like the most are

1. AWS Security Hib.

Its a CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) solution for AWS that provides automated & continuous best practices security check on AWS resources.

2.AWS Amazon Inspector

It check the cloud apps & identify the vulnerabilities like Remote Code Execution, XSS and SQLi.

3. very good customer support

AWS customer support is very good for the customer handholding.

These features makes AWS one of the most secure cloud service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS cloud service has very good security features but the admin has to be well-versed with these advanced features to configure them properly and get the benefit. e.g. If S3 bucket or AMI are inappropriately configured they can make unauthorized users to access the critical org resources. A properly trained & certified admin should be assigned to configure the security features carefully. Complexity is enemy of security & trained resource is the key to avoid this threat. Ease of implementation and ease of use are the features that should be improved although a very good customer support makes this easier for new customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used guard duty n inspector n these are very good services, they can provide security alerts after scanning aws resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to say everything work at very nice level Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to implement, and that it is customizable as to which benchmarks you wish to apply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that is were more robust in allowing you to prioritize or classify the individual findings so that ones that you wish to ignore can be ignored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it's easy to set up and there is no need to educate a person to set Amazon Inspector up because it does not require much of the instructions. The documentation is very extensive and there is no additional purpose to look for any other alternatives. Amazon Inspector just does its job the way it is supposed to! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are possible only two things that I can find that leave me little bit concerned about the service. Firstly, first thing which I am not particularly a fan of is lack of some of the custom protection. I would like to see more on that. Secondly, billing for Amazon Inspector is a little bit tricky when you set it up to work with other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

amazon inspector is very good and reliable service we can use for security purpose in our services, application and in web services. Its an automated and managed service by aws. Very useful service as most of the people face security issue so can be fixed by using this service without using human resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

main dislike we can say only cost and agent issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

pretty hands off approach to vulnerability scanning. Get industry standard scans out of the box Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

inability to aggregate findings across accounts

CIS-SCAN does not allow you to choose the CIS CAT level to run. The scanner is unuseable to us, as our compliance only requires level 1, not level 2, so we end up with a ton of spurrious findings we dont care about

Would be nice to have additional filters, like"only scan instances which have been up more than n minutes" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
