Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
5.2
Anvilogic boosts efficiency by 50% and accelerates threat response, enabling rapid deployment of 1,500 alerts without extra costs.
Sentiment score
4.6
Cortex XSIAM enhances incident management and provides significant financial returns by automating detection and response, reducing staffing needs.
We're taking these things that executives see on the news, cyber threats falling from the sky, and we're taking the timeline that would take weeks or sometimes even months to address, depending on what's required for the detection, and bringing that timeline down to hours and days.
Director, Cybersecurity Operations at Labcorp
We rolled out approximately 1,500 Armory alerts in three months, which would not have been possible with Splunk.
Vice President, Information & Cyber Security at St. George's University
If we were not doing more and did not have Anvilogic, we would need one dedicated person to do this detection engineering.

Sentiment score
6.2
Anvilogic's customer service is praised for accessibility, responsiveness, and excellence, particularly during deployment, ensuring seamless client communication.
Sentiment score
5.8

One of the best things about Anvilogic is the partnership, their knowledge, the depth of technical understanding, and the speed at which they respond.

Anvilogic scales effectively with the growing needs of my organization.

Without proper integration, scaling up with more servers is meaningless.

Room For Improvement

Anvilogic needs better integration, affordable pricing, enhanced workflows, and customization for diverse environments, especially Mac users.
Cortex XSIAM needs improved integration, performance, interface, pricing, support, ASM, AI, onboarding, tagging, and identity management enhancements.
The hunting insight needs integrable capability with different platforms to gather all of that insight and show it on a single canvas on Anvilogic.
Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
I need to click three times to get to all the information I need.
Vice President, Information & Cyber Security at St. George's University
Obtaining validation for integrations from Palo Alto takes around eight months, which is quite long.
Associate Director at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
Cortex XSIAM needs improvements in terms of data onboarding, parsers, and third-party integration supports.
SOC Analyst at OVELOSEC
Cortex XSIAM is on the expensive side and requires substantial improvement in pricing.
Solutions Architect at ostec
 

Setup Cost

Anvilogic's pricing is competitive with easy setup and licensing, offering significant value despite high-end costs for smaller firms.
Cortex XSIAM is viewed as competitively priced but complex, aligning with market expectations despite some regional variations.
Because they do not completely replace a SIEM, their pricing is slowly edging towards being a little too much for a smaller organization like ours.
Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing of Anvilogic was the easiest experience I have ever had.
Vice President, Information & Cyber Security at St. George's University
The first impression is that XSIAM would be more expensive than others we tried.
Owner at Xelere
The product is very expensive.
Associate Director at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
Cortex XSIAM is pretty expensive, and the licensing process is not very comfortable.
Director at MICROLOGIC NETWORKS PRIVATE LIMITED
 

Valuable Features

Anvilogic enhances Splunk with AI-powered detection, multistage threat scenarios, and MITRE mapping for effective security threat responses.
Cortex XSIAM excels in machine learning threat detection, SOAR features, and advanced automation for efficient security management.
Detection insights help us easily identify the most noisy ones, the effective ones, and what needs to be fixed to move the noisy ones to effective ones.
Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Being able to generate detections and map them back to MITRE, not as a 'we've accomplished security' type of metric, but at least showing that you have some form of adequate coverage across all of those different domains.
Director, Cybersecurity Operations at Labcorp
The advanced visualization capabilities of the product are important for understanding security trends in an organization.
Solutions Architect at ostec
One of the valued aspects of the product is its use of artificial intelligence to detect security vulnerabilities.
Owner at Xelere
The flexibility for creating manual workflows stands out.
Associate Director at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

Featured Reviews

AJ
Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Comprehensive coverage, no vendor lock-in, and best customer relationship
Before Anvilogic, we had no visibility into our detection coverage. The ability to break it down by industry verticals, such as attackers and adversaries, is valuable. Detection insights help us easily identify the most noisy ones, the effective ones, and what needs to be fixed to move the noisy ones to effective ones. The hunting capabilities are very good. The AI components and hunting packages give us quick insights into what needs to be looked at. The partnership has been very good. Their professional services and customer relationship have been very good. Our features and bugs have been fixed on time without a lot of follow-up, and their support has been excellent. Finally, there is a feature within Anvilogic that provides the threat landscape or our effectiveness towards the threat landscape on an ongoing basis. That is another feature that we liked.

Integration challenges highlight the need for manual workflows
The standard integrations are very limited, and the integrations available are not listed in the marketplace. Obtaining validation for integrations from Palo Alto takes around eight months, which is quite long. The solution would benefit from having more standard playbooks and templates available, as in other partners. Currently, everything must be created from scratch. In terms of incident response automation, it is quite poor due to the lack of integration with all security tools, making manual intervention necessary.
