AntoSebastin - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable SIEM solution for monitoring a user's activity in the file server
The most valuable features of the solution are its quick and simple features related to advanced permissions for files, allowing for what permission needs to be granted to the users when it comes to the monitoring folder in the solution. If someone who has been denied permission to use a particular folder tries to go to that folder, then the administrator gets a notification. In general, the administrator can easily gather and maintain records if a person who has been denied permission to a particular confidential folder tries to access it.

Detection capabilities and helpful support team enhance log analysis and integration flexibility
I find Panther ( /products/panther-reviews )'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 ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ), and if I am skilled at SQL queries, I can query anything. The infrastructure as code feature allows me to use Git ( /products/git-reviews ) repositories to manage detections and import detections from other Git ( /products/git-reviews ) repositories.
