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

If we were not doing more and did not have Anvilogic, we would need one dedicated person to do this detection engineering.

Setup Cost

Anvilogic's pricing is competitive with easy setup and licensing, offering significant value despite high-end costs for smaller firms.
USM Anywhere offers scalable, affordable SIEM solutions ideal for SMBs, recommended for budget-conscious enterprises over costly competitors.
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.

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.

Featured Reviews

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.
