ROI

Sentiment score
5.2
Anvilogic boosts efficiency by 50% and accelerates threat response, enabling rapid deployment of 1,500 alerts without extra costs.
Sentiment score
6.1
Sumo Logic Security improves troubleshooting, reduces downtime, enhances efficiency, and provides clear ROI visibility, ensuring user satisfaction.
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
6.2
Anvilogic's customer service is praised for accessibility, responsiveness, and excellence, particularly during deployment, ensuring seamless client communication.
Sentiment score
6.9

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
They have a response time of forty-eight hours, which is not instant support.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
In general, they usually provide continuous support post-implementation, being in touch and trying to help, which makes their after-sale process better than Splunk.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.2
Anvilogic scales seamlessly with organizational growth, offering easy onboarding, adaptability, and alignment with business processes and market trends.
Sentiment score
7.6

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
The tool has high scalability because everything is based in the cloud.
Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)
I did not face any significant issues with Sumo Logic Security, but the pricing may be a concern as they try to upsell and raise the prices very quickly.
CSO at Altera
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
5.5
Anvilogic is reliable and stable, with minimal downtime and quick issue resolution, despite some slowness from Splunk's backend.
Sentiment score
8.0
Sumo Logic Security is stable, handling heavy loads with minimal issues, and is highly rated for performance and 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
There is sometimes a bit of slowness and Splunk-related issues.
Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
If there are many records, the system may stop or the UI may become unresponsive.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The query language is pretty straightforward and easy, and it is very powerful for building different searches and dashboards that will serve for later exploration of the same interests I have.
CSO at Altera
 

Room For Improvement

Anvilogic needs better integration, affordable pricing, enhanced workflows, and customization for diverse environments, especially Mac users.
Sumo Logic Security needs improved dashboards, better automation, enhanced APIs, and easier integration to compete effectively with rivals.
The hunting insight needs integrable capability with different platforms to gather all of that insight and show it on a single canvas on Anvilogic.
Head of Information Security at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
I need to click three times to get to all the information I need.
Vice President, Information & Cyber Security at St. George's University
This can lead to alerts that are collections of disjointed signals that sometimes make no sense and lack real context; this simplistic approach makes it hard to find coherent stories during investigations.
CSO at Altera
I would also appreciate the AWS automation integrations to be more secure because currently, they are using access keys, which involves a user rather than roles, which is the security best practice recommended by AWS.
Senior Security Analyst at City Electric Supply Company
The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Anvilogic's pricing is competitive with easy setup and licensing, offering significant value despite high-end costs for smaller firms.
Sumo Logic's pricing is seen as high yet valuable, competitive, and convenient via AWS, though scaling may be costly.
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
My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing of Anvilogic was the easiest experience I have ever had.
Vice President, Information & Cyber Security at St. George's University
This makes it more cost-effective because other solutions often include a third element in their pricing.
Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)
 

Valuable Features

Anvilogic enhances Splunk with AI-powered detection, multistage threat scenarios, and MITRE mapping for effective security threat responses.
Sumo Logic Security enhances efficiency with customizable features, AI-driven analytics, and responsive tools for streamlined troubleshooting and threat management.
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
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.
Director, Cybersecurity Operations at Labcorp
The features I find most useful in Sumo Logic Security are the ease of implementation and connectors; they have a very easy connection and many connectors to important systems, making it very easy to implement and fast to start running in production.
CSO at Altera
They are able to save time on fewer alerts because we are able to perform tuning on the logs to be able to only get relevant or security relevant incidents.
Senior Security Analyst at City Electric Supply Company
If we cannot find the data in other tools, like email security or NDR, we can fetch those logs in the Log Analytics platform of Sumo Logic.

AJ
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.

Security insights have enabled faster incident response and streamlined cross-team collaboration
To improve Sumo Logic Security, I would appreciate the tool being easier to use from a search perspective. For example, we have a few teams that want to use the tool itself, but they are not as savvy when it comes to creating searches from the core platform. I understand that Mobot has come out and is in the works, and it really does assist non-savvy users when it comes to querying the platform. As far as that is concerned, I wish that could be improved a bit more, but I do know that that is in the works. I would add that I wish for improved documentation. For example, we are using Sumo Playbooks and automation integrations along with that, but I have found that there has been a lack of documentation, very little to none at all when it comes to that. With regards to automation integrations as well, there are very few details included in them. I would also appreciate the AWS automation integrations to be more secure because currently, they are using access keys, which involves a user rather than roles, which is the security best practice recommended by AWS. I chose eight out of ten because to make it a nine or ten, I would lean heavily on the documentation. A lot of the times when we get around to configuring things such as playbooks or trying to understand playbooks, what I found was that documentation sometimes is not up to date or documentation is lacking. There are instances also where some security best practices are not being followed. So, if we are able to set up an integration that is not only secure, following security best practices, and has complete documentation, I believe it would alleviate the issue of having to go back and forth with support to check the documentation and things of that nature. My impression of the built-in threat intelligence feature in Sumo Logic Security is that it is comprehensive, but I would say that it could do a little bit better. For example, we have the TAXI feeds, which is STIX and TAXI integrated into the core platform, but the issue I am running into is that I am able to use that feed into a CSE alert; however, I am not able to see the contents of that feed. If I integrate CISA, which we do have integrated, I cannot see what IOCs are in that feed in the core platform, and I hope that is the case because, in order for us to better tune our alerts, we need to be able to see what is in the contents of that threat intelligence feed.
