Systems Engineer

ConnectWise Siem does a good job at filling the requirement that many compliance frameworks call for for event logging, escalation, firewall change logs - but apart from that it offers very little utility.

Director of Marketing

There are other, similar products that compete with ConnectWise for equivalent services at lower price points for customers where cost is an issue.

Senior Information Technology Manager

By centralizing threat visibility, analysis, and real-time incident response, it helps to secure customer information and reduce risk exposure.

Analyst

The Prebuilt PCI/HIPAA templates, customizable dashboards, and QBR-ready “Hero Dashboard” for client reporting make life a lot better for the users and analysts

Through threat intelligence and behavior analysis, it proactively identifies suspicious activities and potential attacks, among other features.

ConnectWise SIEM provides simplified security management and monitoring for multiple clients through a unified platform.

Solutions Architect

I can do searches, setup custom reports, and onboard new customers.

IT Liason

ConnectWise has allowed for extra cost and time savings by allowing an easy interface between the IT tech and the end user.

Centralized Services Manager

The ConnectWise SIEM interface is a bit out of date and can be a bit difficult to navigate at times.  

It's great to have access to everything I need without having to engage support engineers.

Front Office Staff

Not connect wise itself, but the computers I am remoting into.

Compliance & report automation are a big plus.

Director of Security Operations

The integration features are very well done, we're really happy with Perch allowing us to have full access to our data as well as our clients data while still providing a SOC service.

Lead Client Experience Manager and IT Technician

Perch is a perfect compliment to our services as it provides the SOC portion to security and their team then works with ours to get our customers taken care of.

Manager, Tools and Process

This space is filled with solutions designed for large enterprises, which is out of reach for a lot of typical MSP customer sizes and budgets.

For example, it does connect to our 3rd party services and pulls out logs in however the alerts are about useless and several of the integrations are only half done.

CISO

Their SOC makes our lives easier by going through the majority of the information collected, and alerts us when there is something we need to be aware of.

IT Security Manager

Perch also continuously releases support for 3rd party API integration so you can centralize logs from several sources.  

Success manager

We specialize in Cloud/office 365 and serverless environments so it's important for us to have a solution that met these needs.

Client Success Manager

PERCH has allowed us to start deploying SIEM to our SMB customers that cannot afford traditional SIEM products.

Director of Services

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.  

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.

President

I believe that they have resolved some of these issues as recent deployments have gone more smoothly but when something wasn't working properly and they found the issue, it was typically a configuration issue that we never could have know needed to be done in a tool that we had never used.  

Perch is able to take a lot of the same technologies used in those enterprise solutions, make them affordable and easy for MSPs to use.

VP and GM

As we use more and more Azure services, the current ability to access Azure logs is limited.  

Cybersecurity Analyst

Core functionality bugs are landmines for new users that do not know how to navigate them effectively.  

Security Engineer

Amount of data presented and collected, provides great insight into what's going on in your network

It checks all the boxes for what we are looking for and seems to integrate with our toolset.

Lastly, we use the product to help us protect and detect our own network.

The Perch team has taken their time to show us the demo, take our calls and answer all emails.

General Manager

No issues with price, no issues with their service, and the clients we deploy it on appreciate the additional insight to their security.

We failed an audit because didn't provide the raw logs for the duration that we needed it.

Single pane of glass, all the integrations with most commonly used industry applications.  

Query of information via Perchbana needs to be segmented by client sites.   

Director

The integration with a lot of the core services we use made this a clear winner when reviewing.

Network Administrator

so if you have multiple instances you cannot collect all the logs.

Director of Operations

Integrating with current platforms was important to us and so is Perch's active monitoring.

Enterprise Network Engineer

We have three monthly calls with them, so stay up to date as much as possible.

The complexity of use, huge learning curve to manage, learn and understand the application.

As with any product, there was a steep learning curve and I would say the documentation is not as good as it could be.

NOC Team Lead

If you are not fluent with Linux, there will be a bit of a learning curve.

Engineer

This step should almost be first before you install otherwise it isn't seeing all traffic.

This has made it easier for us to approach even our smaller customer.  

This enables us to have our team trained with greater ease.

System Administrator

The staff are all super helpful, the software works as intended, and the analysts are responsive.

honestly at this time I can only think of a single item. and a change request has been submitted for it

The monthly calls are really nice as well since they actually listen to the users.

The only con is that it's too bad we need a service such as this.

Easy of implementation and the setup of the appliances at each location is great.
