Overall Satisfaction with Azure Security Center

We currently use Azure Security Center to secure our Azure environment and ensure that everything is operating within our internal requirements. Azure Security Center gives us direct visibility into all of the events and recommendations for our cloud servers. We also utilize Azure Security Center to get security posture ratings and vulnerability assessments on our endpoints in our Azure environments.

Pros

  • Security Posture Rating
  • Workload Protection
  • Compliance

Cons

  • Usability
  • More reliable vulnerability scanning
  • Cleaner alert visibility
  • Compliance
  • Alerts
  • Posture Management
  • Workload protection
  • 55% increase in time to address misconfigurations.
  • 20% reduction in time fixing vulnerabilities.
  • Massive ROI compared to purchasing a comparable CSPM tool.
Azure Security Center is an extremely capable tool to use within your own internal Azure environment. When it came to picking a tool that would allow us to best configure, manage and secure our Azure environment, it made sense to go with Azure Security Center. While this doesn't offer the best multi-cloud security compared to the likes of Prisma Cloud, Azure Security Center allowed us to focus on Azure and use other CSPM tools for those environments instead.

Azure Security Center is perfect for anyone running their workloads in the cloud, specifically Azure. While I wouldn't recommend it to anyone running a multi-cloud environment, it definitely is the best one for Azure due to its direct insight and being built by Microsoft. I would also not recommend this solution as your sole vulnerability assessment tool, but it is good for quick assessments or standing up servers to a specific preset requirement base.
