Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
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.
We rolled out approximately 1,500 Armory alerts in three months, which would not have been possible with Splunk.
If we were not doing more and did not have Anvilogic, we would need one dedicated person to do this detection engineering.
The product management and the product engineering team are available to us if we need to review something with them.
One of the best things about Anvilogic is the partnership, their knowledge, the depth of technical understanding, and the speed at which they respond.
I would evaluate their customer service and tech support as fantastic.
Local tech support is available, however, for more critical or technical issues, we depend on the OEM directly, especially when it comes to on-prem solutions.
There is a knowledgeable, though small, team of support engineers around the world.
They take some time to respond because they need logs and investigations, which delays the response time.
We started with about 55 detections and scaled up to about 980 odd detections so far.
Anvilogic scales effectively with the growing needs of my organization.
Anvilogic is helping us identify what the needs of the business are, where in many cases, business processes just run off on their own.
At any point in time, when network devices increase or there is a change in the infrastructure, we can add more workers and collectors to expand our infrastructure setup.
Fortinet FortiSIEM is highly scalable.
Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to scale.
I have never experienced a serious outage.
I would assess the stability and reliability of Anvilogic as very good.
The biggest instability has been with the AI agent, which the team is not using fully due to inconsistent results.
It stabilizes itself in an appropriate time, so its uptime is good.
These issues may cause unusual errors and user interface issues.
Some stability issues occur, but Fortinet's technical support team provides assistance.
Flexibility is key for any enterprise platform to meet our unique business requirements.
It lacked a robust CI/CD pipeline, which is crucial for comprehensive testing before changes go into production.
It seems that it requires more growth in how you can navigate through it and see the overall maturity of it clearly for a specific actor versus the enterprise-wide visibility of the whole maturity of the program.
Recently, they revised it to a subscription-based, all-inclusive license.
The built-in APIs in Fortinet FortiSIEM are somewhat lacking and could be improved for better integration with external ITSM products.
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management.
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.
Licensing is reasonably affordable and should be evaluated over time concerning the platform's value.
They provide estimates because obviously every business is different, but they provided reasonable estimates that were fairly accurate based on other customers from a similar type of background or size.
Setting it up for oneself as an enterprise-licensed product can be quite expensive.
Windows agent licenses cost around 3,000 Rupees per device per year.
The revised model is subscription-based and more flexible.
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 learning curve is not steep, allowing even those with basic knowledge in writing detection rules to adapt quickly.
Anvilogic plus Snowflake has vastly improved our total cost of ownership for the SIM platform; we went from a pretty expensive platform in Splunk that was not vertically scalable due to budget limitations to a platform now that is far more efficient per terabyte of data ingested and processed per day.
It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security.
I find the real-time monitoring and correlation capabilities effective for security alerts.

Anvilogic breaks the SIEM lock-in that drives detection gaps and high costs for enterprise SOCs. It enables detection engineers and threat hunters to keep using their existing SIEM while seamlessly adopting a scalable and cost-effective data lake for high-volume data sources and advanced analytics use cases.
By eliminating the need for rip-and-replace, Anvilogic allows security leaders to confidently join the rest of the enterprise on the modern data stack without disrupting existing processes. Security operations teams at banks, airlines, and large tech companies use Anvilogic’s modular detection engine, thousands of curated threat scenarios, and AI security copilot to improve detection coverage and save millions of dollars.
FortiSIEM (formerly AccelOps 4) provides an actionable security intelligence platform to monitor security, performance and compliance through a single pane of glass.
Companies around the world use FortiSIEM for the following use cases:
We monitor all Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
