Hunt automation
Anvilogic: Search and Detect agents turn intelligence into detections; the pages we reviewed do not describe a separate continuous hunting workflow.
Cotool: Agents gather intelligence from public sources, check relevance to your environment and propose detections.
Works across existing SIEM and data lakes
Anvilogic: The broadest named list: four SIEMs, six data lakes and three object stores, searched without moving the data.
Cotool: 40+ native integrations including Splunk, Panther, Datadog, Snowflake and Databricks, plus custom MCP servers.
Analyst effort saved
Anvilogic: Investigate agents triage and enrich before an analyst opens the case; the vendor states under 2 minutes per alert.
Cotool: Chat investigations can be turned into always-on agents.
ATT&CK coverage evidence
Anvilogic: Thousands of MITRE-mapped detections plus coverage scoring against ATT&CK.
Cotool: Maps the whole detection suite onto ATT&CK to show coverage and gaps.
Detection-as-code workflow
Anvilogic: Detection-as-code with version control is stated on the platform page.
Cotool: Compatible with existing detection-as-code tooling, with agent version control.
Deployment
Anvilogic: Runs on top of the storage layer as augment, standalone or both; no published deployment timeline.
Cotool: Deployment model and timeline are not published.
Pricing transparency
Anvilogic: No license price; a public calculator estimates data-lake costs only.
Cotool: No public price.
