Verdict by buyer type
Which of the two fits each kind of team.
| Buyer | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Sentinel estate | Anvilogic is the better fit: it lists Azure Sentinel as a deployment target on its product page (vendor claim); Google Security Operations documents no Sentinel path. |
| Elastic estate | Anvilogic is the better fit: it lists Elastic as a deployment target on its product page (vendor claim); Google Security Operations documents no Elastic path. |
| Splunk estate | Anvilogic is the better fit: it lists Splunk as a deployment target on its product page (vendor claim); Google Security Operations documents no Splunk path. |
| Google SecOps estate | Google Security Operations is the better fit: it runs the estate natively, with YARA-L rules, a Rules API and a Content Manager CLI; Anvilogic documents no Google SecOps path. |
| a team starting from scratch with Sigma | Neither Anvilogic nor Google Security Operations documents a path for this buyer, so it does not separate them. |
When to pick each
Anvilogic: Pick Anvilogic when published pricing is the deciding need: it lists a free tier at 0 USD a month and routes the paid tiers to sales.
Google Security Operations: Pick Google Security Operations when testing is the deciding need: it tests a rule over a time range, retrohunts against historical data and offers event simulation (pre-GA). It also leads on CI and deployment.
