Anvilogic boosts efficiency by 50% and accelerates threat response, enabling rapid deployment of 1,500 alerts without extra costs.

Sentiment score

6.3

Splunk Enterprise Security improves efficiency and threat detection, reducing time and costs despite its expense for larger organizations.

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.

Brandon Bryant

Director, Cybersecurity Operations at Labcorp

We rolled out approximately 1,500 Armory alerts in three months, which would not have been possible with Splunk.

Jason Murphy

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.

We currently rely on disaster recovery and backup recovery, which takes time to recover, during which you're basically blind, so I'm pushing my leadership team to switch over to a clustering environment for constant availability.

David-Alfonso

It is one of the things that separates it from other tooling, and if not, it is the most scalable solution out there.

They struggle a bit with pure virtual environments, but in terms of how much they can handle, it is pretty good.

Room For Improvement

Anvilogic needs better integration, affordable pricing, enhanced workflows, and customization for diverse environments, especially Mac users.

Improving the infrastructure behind Splunk Enterprise Security is vital—enhanced cores, CPUs, and memory should be prioritized to support better processing power.

Mustafa Ameen

Resident Consultant (Security Analyst) at helpag

Splunk Enterprise Security is not something that automatically picks things; you have to set up use cases, update data models, and link the right use cases to the right data models for those detections to happen.

reviewer2704098

Security & Risk Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees

For any future enhancements or features, such as MLTK and SOAR platform integration, we need more visibility, training, and certification for the skilled professionals who are working.

Setup Cost

Anvilogic's pricing is competitive with easy setup and licensing, offering significant value despite high-end costs for smaller firms.

Splunk Enterprise Security offers robust insights but can be costly for high data volumes, challenging affordability for smaller businesses.

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.

Ajish John

Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing of Anvilogic was the easiest experience I have ever had.

Ajish John

Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

Being able to generate detections and map them back to MITRE, not as a 'we've accomplished security' type of metric, but at least showing that you have some form of adequate coverage across all of those different domains.

Ajish John

Comprehensive coverage, no vendor lock-in, and best customer relationship

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. 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 hunting capabilities are very good. The AI components and hunting packages give us quick insights into what needs to be looked at. The partnership has been very good. Their professional services and customer relationship have been very good. Our features and bugs have been fixed on time without a lot of follow-up, and their support has been excellent. Finally, there is a feature within Anvilogic that provides the threat landscape or our effectiveness towards the threat landscape on an ongoing basis. That is another feature that we liked.

Helps us detect cyber threats quickly and integrate multiple feeds effectively

Overall, the product is good, but when it comes to some infrastructure issues, we have to dig into more logs. There is no straightforward indication of an issue. Health check kind of dashboards are not available. More AI would help us, and more optimization, since security products run more queries. The AI module could suggest solutions, optimizing queries or workload balancing. If the product itself advises on running queries during peak times, it would be similar to what ChatGPT currently offers. We see quite a few issues on stability. Even last week, we faced something, and identifying bottlenecks is not easy. We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues. Self-monitoring dashboards could be beneficial. The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side. The primary support team has very limited knowledge to provide.
