ROI

Sentiment score
4.7
Organizations using Anvilogic gained efficiency, reduced staffing needs, and rapid cyber threat response, though alert volume required tuning.
Sentiment score
3.3
Wazuh offers rapid threat response and cost-effective security, benefiting small businesses with significant savings and no proprietary costs.
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.
Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
I have seen value in security cost savings with Wazuh, as using proprietary EDR versions could save us substantial money.

Sentiment score
7.1
Anvilogic's customer service is praised for responsiveness and expertise, despite occasional delays and lacking a clear tracking system.
Sentiment score
3.0

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
It can accommodate thousands of endpoints on one instance, and multiple instances can run for different clients.
Security Operations Center Analyst at mailbox.org
Currently, I don't see any limitations in terms of scalability as Wazuh can still connect many endpoints.
Security Consultant at ebenezer.okoh@agorasecurity.it
This is because of the backend work the agent is collecting and processing, causing the laptop to slow down and the bandwidth to decrease.
Security Consultant at Payatu
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.7
Anvilogic is highly reliable with minimal issues, occasional slowness, and responsive support enhancing user trust in its stability.
Sentiment score
6.3
Wazuh is reliable for small to mid-level businesses, despite occasional bugs and maintenance challenges affecting stability.

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
The stability of Wazuh is strong, with no issues stemming from the solution itself.
Tech Lead at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees

Room For Improvement

Anvilogic users desire enhancements in integration, case management, and detection logic while facing challenges with input limits and documentation.
Wazuh faces scalability and integration issues, needing enhanced security, AI features, and better support for large enterprises.
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
Machine learning is needed along with understanding user behavior and behavioral patterns.
Engineer Information Security at N-Able (Pvt) Ltd
If we had a correlation of logs where I could just search one unique ID and then the unique ID pulls every system in a time-wise manner, that would be a great improvement I would suggest.
Security Consultant at Payatu
The integration modules are insufficiently developed, necessitating the creation of custom integration solutions using tools like Logstash and PubSub.
Tech Lead at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
 

Setup Cost

Anvilogic provides competitive, straightforward pricing and support, though some note it doesn't fully replace a SIEM solution.
Wazuh's open-source solution is cost-effective for enterprises, with cloud costs and scalability as key considerations.
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
Wazuh is completely free of charge.
Security Consultant at ebenezer.okoh@agorasecurity.it
I would definitely recommend Wazuh, especially considering Fortinet's licensing model which is confusing and overpriced in my opinion.
Engineer Information Security at N-Able (Pvt) Ltd
Totaling around two lakh Indian rupees per month.
Tech Lead at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
 

Valuable Features

Anvilogic optimizes SOC operations with AI-driven detection, no-code efficiency, and integration across platforms like Snowflake and Splunk.
Wazuh offers open-source security solutions with cloud integration, exceptional logging, scalability, and compatibility with platforms like Azure and AWS.
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
Wazuh is a SIEM tool that is highly customizable and versatile.
Security Operations Center Analyst at mailbox.org
The system allows us to monitor endpoints effectively and collect security data that can be utilized across other platforms such as SOAR.
Security Consultant at ebenezer.okoh@agorasecurity.it
With this open source tool, organizations can establish their own customized setup.

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.

File integrity monitoring has strengthened our data protection and supports compliance needs
I expected one thing from the dashboard in Wazuh. In ManageEngine, when you use ManageEngine, you can assign a unique ID to all employees. Then with the unique ID, if you search any unique ID in the dashboard itself, you can get the unique ID everywhere, including where the laptop has been logged in, when the logout happened, and what actions have been done for that unique ID. I expected the same in Wazuh, but whenever we want to check any monitoring activities for a specific person, we need to search for the endpoint and then get the endpoint details from our Active Directory or wherever we have the endpoint name stored in our resources, and then search for the endpoint to see the history for that specific endpoint only. This made a simple thing a bit complex. If we had a correlation of logs where I could just search one unique ID and then the unique ID pulls every system in a time-wise manner, that would be a great improvement I would suggest.
