CDW
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- We've done pentests with CDW before and had a definitely US-based pentester doing the work. We even had the same guy two years in a row, he did a great job.
- tl;dr we've used them 3 times now and have been happy. We've used them a few times for pen testing and have been happy with the results. They use their own employees to perform the tests, and from the conversation I had with them biddin...
- My life has been made so easy because of CDW.
Cons
- You get a half decent sales rep and then they fire them and you get a loser to deal with that won't return you calls or emails.
- I use them for hardware and an pretty happy but I would not look to them for services.
- Yes and it ended up just being a port scan.
- CDW is going to outsource it to the cheapest company possible which is also probably going to not only outsource it but possibly offshore it too.
- I don't have any ties, but I suppose calling a place like CDW or something may be an option, try to talk to somebody willing to offer a bulk discount.

tl;dr we've used them 3 times now and have been happy. We've used them a few times for pen testing and have been happy with the results. They use their own employees to perform the tests, and from the conversation I had with them bidding out next year's test, it sounds like they have somewhere around 30ish full-time engineers on staff that do the testing, so no outsourcing that I'm aware of.
Yes and it ended up just being a port scan.
CDW is going to outsource it to the cheapest company possible which is also probably going to not only outsource it but possibly offshore it too.

CDW is showing $841.99 U.S., which is a reminder that in most cases, buying from CDW means bad life choices.
Parent context: My life has been made so easy because of CDW. Reply: Sadly dealing with CDW is something I have never enjoyed and honestly I am glad we stopped using them.
