Panther: Easy, Capable, and Constantly Innovating
What do you like best about the product?
Panther is easy to use and easy to maintain. Between the constant UI and feature improvements (dashboards, correlation detections, log manipulation, etc.) and the support we get from our Panther team, I feel like there are little to no hurdles for implementing the use cases we come up with.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest downside to Panther is probably the immaturity of their dashboard feature (and in fairness, it _is_ in beta). Basic visualization and graphing is easy, but doing more complex analysis and charting still needs some love.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Panther is our one-stop-shop for ingesting any of our security logs. We have a need to ensure that new logs are easily ingested and quickly turned into alerting. Panther allows us to set up new ingest endpoints in minutes, allowing integration of non-standard logs without having to architect and engineer an entire ingest pipeline. The ability to quickly infer log structure and mask sensitive data is great, and the resulting logs are easily searchable in a number of different ways (simple text searching, SQL, PantherFlow).
Panther AI + Python = Next-Level Detection Engineering
What do you like best about the product?
Panther's new AI is a massive time-saver, it instantly pulls the right fields from complex JSON logs. The AI saves me time parsing JSON and more time for responding. The Python-based alerting is a major win too. Writing detection logic feels like proper software development: it's clean, flexible, and testable. The alert testing feature is especially powerful. No more guessing if your logic will work in production. Custom lookup tables to map things like GitHub usernames to employees, or AWS accounts to Terraform workspace, which adds powerful context to our alerts. Implementation and integration was fast and straightforward, easy to add custom features. Their customer support is exceptional — they added a feature the very next day after our request. We use Panther every single day across the team to save hours vs. our old SIEM.
What do you dislike about the product?
The core platform is strong, but a few things could be smoother. Some UI elements still feel a bit early-stage./ More out-of-the-box templates or integration options would really level up the experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Panther helps us move fast without breaking things. We’re reducing false positives, accelerating investigations, and building high-quality detections with real engineering discipline. It’s replaced our legacy SIEM with something that feels purpose-built for modern cloud security teams.
Great SIEM Solution

SIEM with best architecture
What do you like best about the product?
I personally think panther is well architectured SIEM that has a enormous potential to growth in various aspect such as volume increases and very flexible architecture for writing detecting rules, especially geared us many tools to help e do detection engieering
What do you dislike about the product?
Panther also has some latencies, each often ignored in other SIEM solutions.
I personally love how panther shows their latencies in plain sight, and make us understand whats happening under detections. I did managed other SIEMs, but these are the first one that has tranaparencies in detection processes.

The ease of Integrations and their architecture to ingest more logs with less costs.
Top technology in the market
What do you like best about the product?
I like many features from Panther, one of the best thing for me is always coming with new improvements that align where the market is pointing out. Also, they are always listening to their customers that provides feedbacks and work as a team to provide a solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fully managing Panther in the long run can bring some operational work regarding updates and upgrades for their detections and the CI/CD pipeline. Those tasks requires more time and experience from teams outside SecOps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For my role here, Panther helps me to have a good visibility regarding my cloud accounts and create policies/alerts for things that I can identify as risk.

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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
