## PatrOwl Reviews
  ### 1. A hidden gem in CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management) and PTaaS (Pentest as a Service)

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gregory D. | Cybersecurity, Compliance and Data Protection Officer, Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2024

**What do you like best about PatrOwl?**

Patrowl combines automatic external asset discovery (IP ranges and FQDNs), external attack surface management (EASM) and continuous threat exposure monitoring (CTEM) in a single, easy-to-use platform. But the real strength of the solution is the offensive scanning option (PTaaS). All in all, it provides a comprehensive platform to keep track of threats and vulnerabiliies which are relevant to our infrastructure. IMHO the Patrowl platform provides a lot more useful insights than my traditional web application vulnerability scanners.

**What do you dislike about PatrOwl?**

Patrowl is a fairly small start-up company. While this has benefits (in terms of commercial relationship, direct access to the founders, fast responsiveness to requests, etc.), it also means that the solution is still in its infancy and some teething issues may remain. Having said that, overall the platform has already outperformed most, if not all, of the security scanners I've used in the past.

**What problems is PatrOwl solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Patrowl combines an asset discovery module, a vulnerability scanner, threat intelligence feeds and a team of human pentesters, to offer a comprehensive online security monitoring platform. It allows us to actively monitor our external attack surface, and be proactively alerted in case of any new threats or vulnerabilities that impact one of our assets. Proactively keeping track of threats and vulnerabilities relevant to our scope is an essential part of our security policy and a critical step for us to continue to be certified to ISO27001 in its latest version.

  ### 2. A must have to harden our external security posture

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Samuel M. | Security Operation

**Reviewed Date:** March 04, 2022

**What do you like best about PatrOwl?**

The dashboard is very easy and didactic. It allows us to identify all our external exposed assets (with EASM) and find all the weaknesses (PTaaS).

**What do you dislike about PatrOwl?**

As the company is still small, the roadmap is not published as frequently as we would expect

**What problems is PatrOwl solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Now we can easily manage our external security posture and the people that where working on not interesting tasks can now work on dashboard and remediation
