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

Automation workflows have transformed our IT, enabling secure just-in-time access control
We work with them quite often, so we have a direct line regarding areas in Torq that have room for improvement. If we have a feature request, we can request it. I do not have anything in mind at the moment. We were a design partner for a short while, so we feel that they listen and that users of the system have an impact on the way the system is designed for the better. They have a new community, which is something that I personally suggested years ago. There are many people like me in different places and they might have already built the workflow that I need. Having the option to share workflows or to jump on a thread and say I have this need, did anyone ever build a workflow for it, is amazing. Someone would jump in and say yes, sure, here, take this workflow. I think this is an amazing thing and I really hope that the community will come alive because I think this is really powerful. This is something that I already suggested and it did happen eventually, and I am quite happy with it. I do not have any specific feature in mind that I have a need for at the moment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 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."
"Anvilogic has impacted my organization positively because it is native for cloud-type infrastructures and they have a significant proactive approach to cost licensing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"If I review about 100 vendors that I might work with, Torq is definitely in the top five that gave me personally investment back, just because every bit of effort I put into Torq eventually became a workflow that gave it back to me."
"Any request that comes in, regardless of how complex it is, I can accomplish it with Torq."
"Once I started to use the system and I saw the potential, it changed all of our work in IT."
"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."
"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."
"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"However, after a year, I noticed limitations, especially concerning issue resolution timeframes."
"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."
"It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet."
"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"Regarding the pricing of Torq, I would say it is expensive."
"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."
"Even now, we have workflows that are in production that use AI steps and I get different results, making it unusable to some degree."
 

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."
