Our verdict on Panther
Panther is a cloud-native SIEM and AI SOC platform from Panther Labs Inc. for security teams that need to ingest and normalize security data, detect suspicious activity, and investigate events. Detection teams can write custom rules in Python or YAML, with support for both real-time and scheduled detections. It is particularly relevant to cloud detection teams comfortable working with code and query-based investigations; teams seeking a primarily no-code workflow may find its approach less suitable.
Detection and investigation are the core of the product. Teams can use SQL in Data Explorer or query and visualize data with PantherFlow. AI assistance supports creating and modifying detections, as well as triaging alerts. Panther generates alerts and can route them to external destinations, including Slack, Jira, Amazon SNS, and Custom Webhook. Security data can be stored in Snowflake or Databricks, which makes those platforms an important part of the product’s ecosystem fit. Buyers should consider how that storage model aligns with their existing environment.
Panther is sold through a contact-sales pricing model, so teams will need to speak with the vendor to evaluate cost rather than compare published plan prices. The product is offered on web and through an API. Its combination of code-based detections, query tools, AI assistance, and external alert routing suits teams looking for control over detection logic and investigation workflows. It is a less natural fit for buyers who prioritize transparent, self-serve pricing or want to avoid Python or YAML in detection authoring.
