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

6.0

Elastic Security provides satisfactory ROI and cost savings, though users experience varied support levels and payback periods.

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.

Brandon Bryant

Director, Cybersecurity Operations at Labcorp

We rolled out approximately 1,500 Armory alerts in three months, which would not have been possible with Splunk.

Jason Murphy

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.

Setup Cost

Anvilogic's pricing is competitive with easy setup and licensing, offering significant value despite high-end costs for smaller firms.

Elastic Security provides a free open-source option, competitive pricing, and subscription plans, appealing to cost-conscious enterprises.

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.

Ajish John

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.

The pricing is reasonable, especially for Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), making it a viable option for businesses building their security infrastructure.

reviewer2181228

Senior Cyber Security Manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

This is beneficial for SMEs as they do not need extensive budgets for security solutions.

SyedAli17

Elastic Security is considered cost-effective, especially at lower EPS levels.

Valuable Features

Anvilogic enhances Splunk with AI-powered detection, multistage threat scenarios, and MITRE mapping for effective security threat responses.

Elastic Security provides scalable, customizable threat response with fast search, real-time analysis, and strong community support for actionable insights.

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.

Ajish John

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.

Brandon Bryant

Director, Cybersecurity Operations at Labcorp

Ajish John

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.

Has improved threat detection with deep log analysis and streamlined investigation workflows

The most useful features I find in Elastic Security are the forensic ones that allow us to carry deeper analysis into the logs for in-depth investigations, and the dashboards, with the reporting dashboard being quite user-friendly. Elastic Security is quite good at identifying threats, as it is part of the deep investigation tool that I mentioned before. Unless we need to look further into a certain log, we can carry out a deeper analysis and forensics on those particular logs. I can assess the impact of Elastic Security's real-time data analysis on our threat response efficiency as working pretty good. We are looking for real-time analysis because we have a continuous inflow of logs from different sources: from our cloud, from Active Directory, from our network. So it works pretty well.
