What is the difference between Cloud Insight and Cloud Insight Essentials?

Alert Logic® Cloud Insight™ Essentials provides access to the library of Amazon Web Services (AWS) configuration best practices checks that are continuously tested on your AWS environment to help you detect and remediate exposures. It is focused on addressing issues related to the configuration of your AWS services.

Alert Logic Cloud Insight provides the capabilities from Cloud Insight Essentials, plus vulnerability assessments on the instances in your deployment. Cloud Insight adds visibility on vulnerabilities in your EC2 instances, helping you identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

If you enable Amazon GuardDuty, both Cloud Insight Essentials and Cloud Insight can integrate, display and enrich GuardDuty threat findings on the Incidents pages of the Cloud Insight console, and provide guidance to address those findings.
