    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.

    Perch Security - SOC-backed Threat Hunting and SIEM that is not complicated

    5

    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.

    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.

    Reasons for choosing ConnectWise SIEM

    The Perch experience is second-to-none. You can tell they are passionate about their product and it is just not a re-packaging of existing open-source tools.

    Perch failed us for Security and compliance

    Perch is very good at selling its product but it doesn't deliver on its promise. It's not a true log mangaement or SIEM. Their SOC is more of a Support than anything else. They are too junior

    Pros:
    pricing is very attractive at first but then it adds up very quickly. It doesn't scale very well.
    Cons:
    Log retention is a problem. We failed an audit because didn't provide the raw logs for the duration that we needed it. Perch is a simple basic alerting that sometimes fails to alert.

    Reasons for choosing ConnectWise SIEM

    The price was attractive but the product very inadequate

    Reasons for switching to ConnectWise SIEM

    Both carvir and eventTracker fail to provide a true log management solution. Their SIEM is very primitive and doesn't scale very well. It's good for MSPs with 2-5 employees.

    An enterprise vs MSP view.

    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.

    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.

    Reasons for choosing ConnectWise SIEM

    Cost of the product was a major factor, but the implementation and maintenance of the product was also high on the list. Splunk on our list, but the cost to implement and maintain the solution was much greater.

    Great benefits with insight into information we would not have had otherwise. Great team and the desire to provide excellent customer service. Not thrilled with the onboarding process and the lack of linear progression through each task to ensure each tenant is fully operational before moving on to the next team. Not for lack of intent on the Perch team, mind you, they are a really terrific group of folks.

    Cons:
    Speed of the platform overall - some days, it drags hard.

    Reasons for choosing ConnectWise SIEM

    The managed piece was huge - we didn't want to invest in threat hunters. The next big reason is that the staff were personable and easy to work with.

    Pros:
    Honestly the entire SOC team in Houston is the best part of about working with Perch. Any questions are quickly answered, any events found are quickly visible / communicated, and the integrations with our systems were seemless.
    Cons:
    I dont know if its a really a con, but the small learning curve would be it. However Perch was helpful through all the onboarding and calls to ensure it was the best it could be.

    Reasons for choosing ConnectWise SIEM

    After being personally invited to visit and shown the product by both [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] we were sold. Not only were we impressed with the software, but with the entire team at Perch. It made the decision very easy after them taking the personal time/touch in showing us their entire operation.
