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.

Helps to deal with potential attacks and is available at a reasonable price
My company has had many benefits from the use of the product in the last eight years. The tool has streamlined our company's incident response process since it serves as a log repository, which allows us to correlate events and access different technology stacks. In our company, we were able to actually find some potential attacks, so it has been very helpful. The tool's integration capability isn't so great. In my company, we managed to integrate it with our Microsoft Azure Subscription, after which we managed to integrate it with other tools. You will face a lot of difficulties if you want to integrate it with your database monitoring tool, PAM solutions, or IAM products. The product has done well overall for my company's teams to deal with their workflow efficiency. I would not recommend the product to others. I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Anvilogic is a very good tool that I like to use because it is intuitive, user-friendly, and it helps significantly with detection engineering tasks."
"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 has positively impacted my organization by being a force multiplier for our security operations center and has allowed us to coordinate and distribute work more efficiently and provide consistency among the multiple SIEM environments."
"One of the best things about Anvilogic is the partnership, their knowledge, the depth of technical understanding, and the speed at which they respond."
"The deployment was very simple."
"Anvilogic has impacted my organization positively because it is native for cloud-type infrastructures and they have a significant proactive approach to cost licensing."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
"This solution has a very good dashboard with a separate tab for incidents and alerts."
"I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"Overall, this is a good solution with suitable features and it very well fits our needs."
 

Cons

"The pricing is slightly edging towards being a bit much for smaller organizations."
"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."
"Anvilogic's prebuilt rules and threat scenarios didn't work the best for us because many of the rules were geared toward a Windows environment, whereas we're more of a Mac environment, so many of them didn't necessarily fit with what we have."
"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."
"However, after a year, I noticed limitations, especially concerning issue resolution timeframes."
"I chose a nine because, while Anvilogic is excellent, there is room for improvement in terms of the false-positive reports that have been presented and the AI pattern that can be improved."
"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."
"Anvilogic could be better in areas of the triage dashboard as they're beholden to Splunk's functionality."
"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."
"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."
"Security needs improvement."
"One thing to be improved in NetWitness is the capability to correlate event logs in a general sense."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets is far behind the competition."
"I believe they could improve their support, there are often delays."
 

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."
"The product is expensive."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
