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.

Correlates incidents, allows for quicker identification and helps prioritize investigations
The only challenge is, and that’s where we come into play, it’s a pretty high-tech platform. So, it’s difficult for small and medium-sized organizations to manage it on their own. It’s a very complex system. It requires a lot of expertise. All my guys who work on it have gone through certification from Stellar itself. There are three different certifications that you need to complete. Only then are you certified by Stellar to work on it. It’s a very complex platform. Not everyone can use it. A simple IT engineer or system admin won’t be able to handle it because it’s quite complex. You need to have an understanding of the industry, the subject, and the tool. So, just purchasing this tool or license and then using it on your own would be very difficult to configure and manage on a day-to-day basis. The pricing model is not suitable for small and medium companies, particularly small companies. The minimum pricing model they have is suitable for companies with more than one thousand users. So, if someone has 50 to 100 users, like typical small companies, it’s difficult for them because the cost involved is high. Stellar would charge you for those thousand users, but you do not need all those users. So what are they going to do? I guess Stellar does not want to target small companies directly and maybe relies on resellers and MSPs like us to sell it. So, that is something I would recommend changing. Otherwise, it’s a great tool, but because of the pricing model, small companies are unable to leverage the advantage of this beautiful tool. So, the pricing model should be suitable for small and medium businesses. The product currently has vulnerability monitoring and everything. But if they could also do something about vulnerability management and maybe patch management, that would be nice.

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."
"Anvilogic has impacted my organization positively because it is native for cloud-type infrastructures and they have a significant proactive approach to cost licensing."
"One of the best things about Anvilogic is the partnership, their knowledge, the depth of technical understanding, and the speed at which they respond."
"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."
"I view Anvilogic as an easy button for detection engineering—you're talking about replacing multiple headcount and a lot of process and oversight with the technology."
"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."
"The deployment was very simple."
"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."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
 

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."
"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."
"However, after a year, I noticed limitations, especially concerning issue resolution timeframes."
"That's challenging because we're not in production and there's not necessarily a deep bench of companies with previous experience."
"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."
"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."
"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Anvilogic's pricing has been highly competitive."
"It’s a single license platform."
