"Threat detection as close to the source system as possible"
What do you like best about Amazon GuardDuty?

It quickly raises an alert shortly after it detects an incident. While almost all warnings, when investigated, result from innocuous activities, the actions triggering them are precisely the sort that an attacker would be taking. The number of alerts is also low, so exploring false positives does not take long. When Guarduty is in the same AWS account as the entity that is the alert source, the alert can be clicked on to go directly to the entity, which results in a time-saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon GuardDuty?

Having to log in to GuardDuty to see the alerts will likely result in missed warnings. To get the most out of GuardDuty, integrate it with a monitored platform so that the alerts can be seen and acted upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very useful solution, but not complete"
What do you like best about Amazon GuardDuty?

The facility to deploy the solution and enable it for all new accounts automatically is great. The coverage of Kubernetes workload is also a great addition pretty recent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon GuardDuty?

GuarDuty is a solution which is mostly rule based. So it can't detect new threat if it's not violating known pattern. Moreover, Guarduty is not an active protection solution but a detection solution. Useful but has to be coupled with automatism to block or react. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GuardDuty is a good first attempt at a reactive IDS. We use it for our various accounts"
What do you like best about Amazon GuardDuty?

I like that it's very simple to enable and has a relatively low cost compared to other AWS services. It categorizes several things by TTP and integrates with our SIEM and Slack Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon GuardDuty?

The delay. It will update the alert with "Started" and "First seen" as well as "updated" but it's not as fast as some other products. It's a low-cost of entry and should be enabled in every AWS account as a good first attempt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazon GuardDuty is the best choice to protect your company!"
What do you like best about Amazon GuardDuty?

There are many features that I like about Amazon GuardDuty, after all I consider it the best threat detector in the market today, this detector allows a comprehensive and timely identification of a wide variety of threats, reporting everything in a very practical and simple way.

This tool breaks many standards by allowing not only detect but also automate each of the responses to threats, reducing time for action before these. Features such as threat intelligence, automatic learning and own behavioral models make it the first option in security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon GuardDuty?

Regarding the functionality of this threat detector, in my opinion there are not many negative things. however one detail that we often miss is the user service, although this is usually a bit slow in its management, giving delays suggest lost in our work time.
