What do you like best about Amazon GuardDuty?

I liked how guardduty alerts findings that could be harmful and I am notified of any suspicious activity. This is an amazing feature and I now feel like my account is more secure thanks to guard duty. I also like how after I had this in my account my amount of trust went up immensely. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon GuardDuty?

I did not like how the intructions and AWS Cloud formation template were confusing to use. I was a little bit lost right off the bat with the way the instructions manual was formatted. I did not really understand how It was setting up a test environment for my AWS account and how it was configuring everything needed to run the scenario. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon GuardDuty solving and how is that benefiting you?

I noticed that this worked while managing an IT organization. My security engineer set up GuardDuty and in an account. I noticed that there was a threat and guardduty was able to detect the threat and notified me that there was in fact suspicious activity that needed to be detected and remediated. Although it was stressful that something fishy was going on I was happy to have GuardSafe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon GuardDuty?

Just like all other Amazon products, this is easy to use and just runs in the background. It’s your basic threat protection software, so not much knowledge is needed to use/run it. Everything in the software is self explanatory for someone who knows the minimum basics about tech and computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon GuardDuty?

There’s truly nothing to dislike. The price is good, especially compared to some other similar softwares out there that don’t do a good job of blocking malware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon GuardDuty solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeps my private business info safe. Just started a small business myself and didn’t realize how important it would be to have something like this until a friend recommended Amazon GuardDuty to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon GuardDuty?

I used Amazon GuardDuty when deploying a web server to AWS for a trial product. The thing I liked best was the setup. Immediately I felt 'SAFE.' Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon GuardDuty?

Honestly I never saw anything in my logs. Besides SSH logins to the machine. It possibly could be more effective at large scale when your on hackers maps, but for me I never hit that point and it didnt seem necessary to pay for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon GuardDuty solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not solving any business related problems with GuardDuty. Initially tried out for a small project, but decided it would only be beneficial if I was a multi million dollar company where I constantly faced threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
