Amazing SIEM for this AND the next generation of defenders!
What do you like best about the product?
Detection-as-code is the next frontier! This platform gives you everything you could want from your old SIEM platform and amplifies it to 11! The support behind the product is as amazing as the product itself, which is a rare trait these days.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a downside but more of a fyi: To make the most of the platform, you want to understand and manage it via CI/CD practices and tooling. Pretty much everything can be done through the UI, but if you really want to get into the weeds and maintain a tight control over detections and alerting, you'll want to have some familiarity with proper CI/CD practices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From having built in packs and schemas for all of our current use cases to supporting our most needed alerting destinations, Panther covers pretty much all of our current needs. The unified search and simple query language for more advanced searches should satisfy all analyst, young to old, green to experienced!
Detection-as-code provides us with a huge amount of flexibility for how we would like to create, manage, and deprecate our detection mechanisms.

Detection capabilities and helpful support team enhance log analysis and integration flexibility
What is our primary use case?
We use Panther for our SIEM solution. It is used for aggregating logs and analyzing user activities. We can filter down to individual roles inside of AWS through all the accounts and user activities.
What is most valuable?
I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable. It allows integration with anything as long as I am willing to write detections, and their team is very helpful. I find its log analysis capabilities valuable. It enables me to filter down to individual roles in AWS, and if I am skilled at SQL queries, I can query anything. The infrastructure as code feature allows me to use Git repositories to manage detections and import detections from other Git repositories.
What needs improvement?
The solution could be improved by providing more built-in integrations, which would reduce the need for me to build them myself.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have had experience with Panther for two years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
The search is pretty good, and it builds SQL queries for me, allowing me to go through logs and click on elements to add filters, automatically building the query.
How are customer service and support?
The support team is very helpful and supportive.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Panther, we mainly relied on CloudWatch and did not have a dedicated SIEM solution. We are a cloud-only company, and Panther was a good fit for us.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Panther was straightforward and easy, worthy of an eight out of ten in terms of ease.
What about the implementation team?
Our security team is quite small, consisting of fewer than five people, and we were able to deploy Panther. The same small team can maintain the solution and build integrations.
What was our ROI?
Panther does what is expected of a SIEM solution. It is used by engineers for troubleshooting issues and defining role-based controls for visibility between teams.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I find the pricing to be reasonable, although I can't recall the exact cost.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated Panther against Devo and Gurucul. Panther offered better hot storage for logs and was less expensive than Devo.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Panther to other companies because of its ease of use. The infrastructure as code feature allows using Git repositories for secure detections. Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Excellent tool for teams using detection as code
What do you like best about the product?
Panther is incredibly responsive - it's a definite partnership. The team continues to develop features with input from customers about what is most needed. The ability to write detections in Python is very helpful. New feature rollouts make creating detections and doing searches more accessible to less technical employees. The ability to truly implement detection as code is really cool, but it's not a must to implement Panther. The flexibility of ingesting anything you can get to S3 introduces some up front work, but once a process is established, custom ingestions can be done quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Panther lacks some functionality you expect from the typical SIEM - visualizations specifically lag, but this can be addressed with other tools. There is a fairly steep learning curve if you are not experienced with Python, SQL, and YAML. However, all SIEMs have a fairly steep learning curve. If your team has some experience with development, the languages should be familiar and easy to get the hang of how Panther uses them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized monitoring, detection, and response. Ingesting data via API is straight forward and can be largely templatized for efficiency. Recent additions to ingestion options (like webhooks) will continue to make ingestions more efficient. The ability to work in code is a major benefit for teams committed to a CI/CD environment.
Flexible and Robust - a Modern SIEM
What do you like best about the product?
The ability for our detections to be as simple or complex as Python allows is the most significant benefit to Panther as a SIEM. While specific log sources don't necessarily need this, custom log sources (such as an organization's app logs) benefit tremendously from this added flexibility. Panther helps foster collaboration in our environment and provides a tool to which all of Engineering can contribute. The ability to embed our alert building into our existing SDLC to ensure proper custody and approvals before going into production is tremendous. As a partner, Panther is transparent and always provides constant opportunities for feedback and service improvement. The community is growing faster everyday and there are always new alerts being offered for adoption by all of the community.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it doesn't impact our team, a non-technical Security team could struggle to realize all of the benefits of a SIEM like Panther vs some of the drag-and-drop competitors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Panther helps us solve our problem of centralized visibility and monitoring of our many (often custom) log sources. As a SIEM Panther excels at providing robust and custom alerting mechanisms so we can build out world-class detection and response capabilities.
A great and convenient SIEM product to transition to
What do you like best about the product?
Overall a very positive experience. It was very easy to deploy and the how-to's and guides throughout were really helpful to help guide and integrate through the new security system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel that there's too much coding needed if you want to fine tuning inclusion and exclusion criteria. These can use more automation and promote more user-friendliness.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Panther integrates with various threat intelligence sources, providing up-to-date information on known threats and vulnerabilities. This integration enables the system to correlate real-time events with threat intelligence data, enhancing the accuracy of threat detection and response. The seamless integration with external sources ensures that organizations stay one step ahead of emerging threats.
