Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
4.7
Anvilogic enhances efficiency and ROI with 25% cost savings, 50% operational efficiency boost, and improved detection coverage.
Sentiment score
3.2
In-house teams claim McAfee offers high ROI, but executives struggle to see it without C-level focused reports.
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.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.1
Anvilogic offers strong support with rapid response, expertise, and good communication, despite occasional delays or tracking issues.
Sentiment score
4.3
Trellix ESM customer service is generally satisfactory, but technical support varies with noted delays and skill gaps.
The product management and the product engineering team are available to us if we need to review something with them.
Director, Cybersecurity at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
One of the best things about Anvilogic is the partnership, their knowledge, the depth of technical understanding, and the speed at which they respond.
Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
I would evaluate their customer service and tech support as fantastic.
Senior Director | Detection Response at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
I would rate support for Trellix ESM 10 out of 10 because if we connect with the support in the UK, we get excellent support.
Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
It's rare for me to need them unless it's an issue with licensing, and they are the best in that regard.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
Anvilogic offers scalable solutions, managing detections, integrations, and business needs while ensuring seamless onboarding and cost efficiency.
Sentiment score
8.6
Trellix ESM is highly scalable and adaptable, excelling in enterprise environments but may have limitations for medium enterprises.
We started with about 55 detections and scaled up to about 980 odd detections so far.
Head of Information Security 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
Scalability is quite easier with Trellix ESM, because all we need to do is add more receivers to it, so it can go to any point.
Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.7
Anvilogic is stable with minor AI agent issues, reliable performance, fast support, and no major downtime reported.
Sentiment score
8.3
Trellix ESM is generally stable with effective support, though some users experience bugs and interruptions affecting reliability.
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 needs better data integration, enhanced AI, improved workflow efficiency, and user-accessible documentation while addressing cost concerns for smaller entities.
Trellix ESM requires stability, HTML5 migration, and upgrades in customization, integration, support, usability, and AI for improved functionality.
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
If there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that.
Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
 

Setup Cost

Anvilogic offers fair pricing with tailored implementation costs, transparent negotiations, and strong support, ensuring a seamless adoption experience.
Trellix ESM offers flexible, slightly costly licensing, valued for its SOC features, with straightforward setup and deployment.
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
 

Valuable Features

Anvilogic enhances SOC efficiency with AI-driven detection, multi-SIEM integration, no-code usability, cost management, and seamless platform transitions.
Trellix ESM excels in real-time threat detection, user-friendly interface, quick deployment, and strong integration with other technologies.
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 weakest point is it doesn't cover almost all the devices, so the customer has to be more dependent on the parsers to be written by the Professional Services team.
Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.

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.

Offers comprehensive report generation while maintaining ease of integration
We need to improve Trellix ESM by making sure that most of the logging devices available in the global market should be covered, and if there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that. We can add some new features regarding AI in the future for Trellix ESM, but the maturity will take a longer time. There are many false positives that happen in an environment during the first couple of months, or around six months, so the system analyst is not able to identify whether the event which has occurred is a true positive or a false positive.
