ROI

Sentiment score
5.1
Anvilogic enhanced efficiency, reduced costs, improved threat management, and integrated acquisitions swiftly without increasing overall operational expenses.
Sentiment score
8.9
Gurucul Next Gen SIEM increased efficiency in threat detection, reduced costs, automated workflows, and improved staff productivity and response times.
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.

Senior Director | Detection Response at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

Director, Cybersecurity Operations at Labcorp
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.5

Sentiment score
6.4

Vice President, Information & Cyber Security at St. George's University
I would assess the stability and reliability of Anvilogic as very good.
Senior Director | Detection Response at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
The biggest instability has been with the AI agent, which the team is not using fully due to inconsistent results.
Senior Manager, Threat Prevention Engineering at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Anvilogic needs improvements in integration inputs, documentation, detection logic, customization, support, management features, and third-party integration costs.
Gurucul Next Gen SIEM faces deployment complexity, performance issues with large data, and needs better support, reporting, and integration.
Flexibility is key for any enterprise platform to meet our unique business requirements.
Senior Manager, Threat Prevention Engineering at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
It lacked a robust CI/CD pipeline, which is crucial for comprehensive testing before changes go into production.
Threat Researcher 2 at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.
Manager, Threat Intel & Detection Operations at Zendesk
 

Setup Cost

Anvilogic offers competitive pricing with strong support, though its costs may challenge smaller organizations despite a straightforward setup.
Gurucul Next Gen SIEM offers scalable subscription pricing with advanced threat detection, machine learning, and extensive integration for 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.
Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Licensing is reasonably affordable and should be evaluated over time concerning the platform's value.
Senior Manager, Threat Prevention Engineering at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
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.
Manager, Threat Intel & Detection Operations at Zendesk
 

Valuable Features

Anvilogic offers platform-independent AI-driven security with no-code tools, MITRE integration, efficient cost management, and beginner-friendly usability.
Gurucul Next Gen SIEM excels in threat detection, scalability, integration, customizable reports, and adapting to diverse IT environments.
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
The learning curve is not steep, allowing even those with basic knowledge in writing detection rules to adapt quickly.
Threat Researcher 2 at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.
Senior Manager, Threat Prevention Engineering at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees

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.
Ansar Monideen - PeerSpot reviewer
CISO at Eskan Bank
Provides almost all the SIEM features offered by the leaders at a low cost
Gurucul's data enrichment could be improved. As a security professional, I want to consolidate all these log sources and data to the user, entity, or resource. More advancements are required, especially in enriching security data or attack response. I would like to see more improvements there. The documentation could also be better. Every user and resource has a timeline that lists all the events so we can analyze that particular system and what is happening. We would like to have an option where we can only list the confirmed security threat-related activities for a particular user rather than all activities. This way, we can see what kind of risk is reported for this user and be able to monitor them better.
