ROI

Sentiment score
4.7
Organizations using Anvilogic gained efficiency, reduced staffing needs, and rapid cyber threat response, though alert volume required tuning.
Sentiment score
6.8
USM Anywhere enhances security cost-effectively by streamlining processes, reducing manpower costs, and preventing breaches, offering high 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.
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.
Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Customers see ROI as they save on staff and other resources.

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

Anvilogic scales effectively with the growing needs of my organization.
Senior Director | Detection Response at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Anvilogic is helping us identify what the needs of the business are, where in many cases, business processes just run off on their own.
Director, Cybersecurity Operations at Labcorp
USM Anywhere faces scalability issues because of a 60 TB limit.
Co-Founder/Director at Bangkok MSP Company Limited

6.7
Anvilogic is highly reliable with minimal issues, occasional slowness, and responsive support enhancing user trust in its stability.
Sentiment score
7.2
USM Anywhere is stable with reliable support; issues often stem from user setup or inadequate infrastructure.
I have never experienced a serious outage.
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 users desire enhancements in integration, case management, and detection logic while facing challenges with input limits and documentation.
USM Anywhere requires enhancements in IPv6 support, usability, integration, report creation, GUI design, and deployment complexity.
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
There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks.
Co-Founder/Director at Bangkok MSP Company Limited
 

Setup Cost

Anvilogic provides competitive, straightforward pricing and support, though some note it doesn't fully replace a SIEM solution.
USM Anywhere is praised for competitive pricing and flexible licensing, appealing to SMBs with comprehensive, cost-effective features.
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
The pricing is amazing and really cheap.
Co-Founder/Director at Bangkok MSP Company Limited
 

Valuable Features

Anvilogic optimizes SOC operations with AI-driven detection, no-code efficiency, and integration across platforms like Snowflake and Splunk.
USM Anywhere offers centralized logging, IDS, vulnerability scanning, scalability, third-party integration, real-time alerts, and comprehensive support resources.
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
The 365-day block query is a major feature.
Co-Founder/Director at Bangkok MSP Company Limited

Featured Reviews

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.
