How do they compare on each criterion?
| Criterion | Weight | Anvilogic | Vega | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hunt automation | 25% | 6 | 8 | Vega |
| Works across existing SIEM and data lakes | 20% | 9 | 7 | Anvilogic |
| Analyst effort saved | 15% | 8 | 8 | Tie |
| ATT&CK coverage evidence | 10% | 9 | 8 | Anvilogic |
| Detection-as-code workflow | 10% | 9 | 8 | Anvilogic |
| Deployment | 10% | 7 | 6 | Anvilogic |
| Pricing transparency | 10% | 3 | 2 | Anvilogic |
- Hunt automation
- Anvilogic: Search and Detect agents turn intelligence into detections; the pages we reviewed do not describe a separate continuous hunting workflow.
- Vega: Takes a hypothesis and runs the hunt across sources, showing each step.
- 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.
- Vega: Queries sources in place with no ingestion, but its public pages do not name the connectors.
- Analyst effort saved
- Anvilogic: Investigate agents triage and enrich before an analyst opens the case; the vendor states under 2 minutes per alert.
- Vega: The vendor says each detection triages, investigates and tunes itself.
- ATT&CK coverage evidence
- Anvilogic: Thousands of MITRE-mapped detections plus coverage scoring against ATT&CK.
- Vega: A security assessment shows ATT&CK coverage and gaps; hunt findings become MITRE-mapped detections.
- Detection-as-code workflow
- Anvilogic: Detection-as-code with version control is stated on the platform page.
- Vega: Detections live in source control, each change with a diff, an author and an approver.
- Deployment
- Anvilogic: Runs on top of the storage layer as augment, standalone or both; no published deployment timeline.
- Vega: Deployment model not published; a public sandbox is available.
- Pricing transparency
- Anvilogic: No license price; a public calculator estimates data-lake costs only.
- Vega: No public price.

Which should you choose?
Choose Anvilogic if
- Choose Anvilogic if your data is spread across a SIEM, EDR, identity provider, cloud logs or a data lake and you want to hunt it where it sits. Anvilogic scores 9 of 10 on working across existing SIEM and data lakes: The broadest named list: four SIEMs, six data lakes and three object stores, searched without moving the data.
- Choose Anvilogic if you need published evidence of how ATT&CK coverage is measured. Anvilogic scores 9 of 10 on ATT&CK coverage evidence: Thousands of MITRE-mapped detections plus coverage scoring against ATT&CK.
Choose Vega if
- Choose Vega if you want hunts that start on their own from new intelligence or a hypothesis. Vega scores 8 of 10 on hunt automation: Takes a hypothesis and runs the hunt across sources, showing each step.
- Choose Vega if the priority is taking triage, investigation and rule-writing work off analysts. Vega scores 8 of 10 on analyst effort saved: The vendor says each detection triages, investigates and tunes itself.
Frequently asked questions
Which is better, Anvilogic or Vega?
