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.
