Senior Manager, Threat Prevention Engineering at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Modern threat detection has improved coverage and reduced costs but still needs better UX and flexibility
There is room for growth in the product platform; our detection engineers using Anvilogic every day encounter some frustrating UX experience issues where buttons are not logically placed, and workflows are not working as expected. There is also room for growth in integrating the platform with third parties, as we have encountered limitations in what can be executed via API and what is documented. We are a heavy automation integration team, so having this well documented is important for us. The enterprise capabilities within the platform also seem somewhat limited, as we run into limitations in managing detections at scale and making changes to those detections at scale. Especially at an enterprise level, if we need to add enrichment logic to every single detection deployed, it can be quite onerous; we had to develop custom scripts to manage that. Thus, enhancing enterprise-type features for managing the platform at scale rather than clicking through the GUI is important as we continue to grow. Additionally, the AI capabilities have been somewhat unstable and unintuitive to use, which is key for increasing adoption. One other thing is that the detection logic builder today is somewhat limited in flexibility regarding implementing detections, grouping detections together, and handling alerts when they fire. This might be partly due to our need to adjust to a different platform, but flexibility is key for any enterprise platform to meet our unique business requirements. Having the capability to build custom detection logic not tied to a specific structure would be helpful; although a lot can be done, it often requires working with our account team which is time-consuming and less intuitive.

Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while. As for the main differences between Graylog Security and other vendors, some users might prefer cloud-based platforms over on-premises solutions. It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They teach you and give you insights every morning or every week, saying, 'Hey, this is not working, so what do you want. You're getting one or two of these alerts per day. Do you want to squash them from error to warning?' They're always giving you tips on how to improve the efficiency of the system itself."
"We are partnering very closely with Anvilogic and pushing the threshold of detection engineering capabilities; we are only able to do many of these capabilities due to the partnership that we have with Anvilogic, where they are meeting what we need to continually push new innovative solutions."
"Among those features, the one that has made the biggest difference for our team is the AI capability; we have seen a significant shift in our SOC operations."
"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."
"Anvilogic allows me to extract a plethora of information, including mapping TTPs assigned for detection logic, which effectively helps in setting quarterly coverage agendas, thus illustrating its vital role in detection strategy and management presentations."
"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."
"By using this detection engineering platform, we can manage the entire detection engineering lifecycle, making it simple to show executives our progress, where we started, where we currently are, and what remains to be done."
"One of the best things about Anvilogic is the partnership, their knowledge, the depth of technical understanding, and the speed at which they respond."
"We use the solution to collect logs."
"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
 

Cons

"The hunting insight needs integrable capability with different platforms to gather all of that insight and show it on a single canvas on Anvilogic. That is the only feature that could improve the way we do operations."
"That's challenging because we're not in production and there's not necessarily a deep bench of companies with previous experience."
"Anvilogic could be better in areas of the triage dashboard as they're beholden to Splunk's functionality."
"The pricing is slightly edging towards being a bit much for smaller organizations."
"Currently, there is a limitation of 100 inputs in Anvilogic integrations, which is less than our needs, making it a challenge to fit all our inputs."
"Anvilogic can be improved by adding the ability to do on-ingest detections. This is something that we have been having a conversation on for a short time now, but I am hopeful that they will have that in their future roadmap."
"There is a need for the maturity of the product; our detection engineers using Anvilogic every day encounter some frustrating UX experience issues where buttons are not logically placed, and workflows are not working as expected."
"Anvilogic can be improved further by maturing certain intelligence aspects outside of articles. This is an aspect that lacks in most SIEM and secure analytics tools, but personally the framework or "barebone" is in Anvilogic, it just needs further maturing."
"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Anvilogic's pricing has been highly competitive."
"We were an early adopter, so the pricing was definitely good. 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. It is almost on the border."
"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
