## Reviews

### "CNWR Review" — 5.0/5

> **Matt** | *19 January 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Customer service is top-notch and the community is probably the biggest selling point. To be quite honest they have built a tool that anyone could build but they are selling the community and their willingness to continue to improve upon their tool. Their team has been incredible to work with and has been a shining light in the community in terms of continuing to improve and thought leadership.
> 
> **Cons**: The price is the only issue and it's really actually a competitive price.

### "A great product that has helped us immensly in providing cyberdefense to our customers" — 5.0/5

> **Karl** | *5 January 2021* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The product is comprehensive.  It touches the network, the individual hosts and cloud based resources.  It all aggregates into a very flexible and feature rich SIEM or SIEM like tool that helps us really figure out what is going on.
> 
> **Cons**: When we first engaged with Perch they had not yet completed some key integrations.  Those have been completed now.  I can't really think of a current limitation that we wish were better.  We are very happy with the product.
> 
> A really great team, easy to get a hold of and really a big part of helping us stop the bad guys in our customers.  We have multiple success stories from this product where a significant crisis was stopped before it became a crisis.  Also, it is very reasonably priced.  This has made it easier for us to approach even our smaller customer.  Lastly, we use the product to help us protect and detect our own network.

### "Perch Security - SOC-backed Threat Hunting and SIEM that is not complicated" — 5.0/5

> **Chris** | *6 January 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Perch solution has a very community-esque feel. Users of Perch love it and are not afraid to support one another, share tips, tricks, customizations, etc. This collaboration and feedback is also present within Perch and the improvements that are made to the product it reflect the users' requests and needs.
> 
> **Cons**: This is a product where the more one puts into it, the one gets out of it. It is no magic system out of the box per se. This is not really Perch's  fault, but to the layperson, one could thing that.
> 
> The people at Perch from the top to the bottom are great. If you run into issues, have questions, or just need some advice, they are there for you. Also, their SOC is based in Houston on USA soil which is important to many when you have someone watching your back from a cyber perspective.

### "An enterprise vs MSP view." — 4.0/5

> **Matt** | *11 January 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy of implementation and the setup of the appliances at each location is great.  The web portal reduces our overhead and maintenance cost.
> 
> **Cons**: Query of information via Perchbana needs to be segmented by client sites.
> 
> I have used and sold Splunk before and Splunk is very intuitive to use from the end user perspective.  Perch requires more knowledge of query languages to dig some of the information out that I want to see.  On the administrative side of things Perch is far easier to implement than Splunk and does not require a dedicated engineering staff to maintain.
