In one paragraph
Anvilogic and Nebulock both appear in this guide's vendor directory. Both vendors' own material describes Level 3, Continuous hunting, human review. Both state 4 of the twelve capabilities in our matrix. Anvilogic states no capability in the matrix that Nebulock leaves unpublished; Nebulock states new rules tested on historical data before release, names its intelligence sources and publishes an open framework or specification where Anvilogic does not. This guide does not pick a winner; which differences matter depends on your must-haves.

Where do Anvilogic and Nebulock differ?
Anvilogic states, Nebulock does not publish
Nothing in the matrix.
Nebulock states, Anvilogic does not publish
- New rules tested on historical data before release: "Every detection rule must pass a Retrohunt before deployment."
- Names its intelligence sources: Intel from CrowdStrike, Mandiant, MISP and community feeds.
- Publishes an open framework or specification: Agentic Threat Hunting Framework and Agentic Detection Engineering Framework on GitHub, MIT license.
Both state
Hunts start without a per-hunt request, Queries data where it already lives, Detection changes kept in version control, Maps hunts or detections to MITRE ATT&CK
Neither states
Findings arrive with corroboration or shown working, Response actions staged for human approval, States MCP support, States a security attestation, Publishes a list price
How do they compare row by row?

|---|---|---|---|
| Hunts start without a per-hunt request | StatedDescribes agents that take threat intel through to deployed detection logic. | Stated"Vespyr hunts without a directive." | Both state it |

Neither vendor publishes a list price on the pages reviewed. Ask each for a written price basis and budget separately for query compute on your data platforms.
Where does each run, and what controls does it describe?
Anvilogic
- Runs on top of the customer's storage layer; the platform page describes "Augment, Standalone, or Any Combination".
- Search: "One query across Splunk, Snowflake, Sentinel, S3, and more, without moving the data."
- Data platforms named: Splunk, Azure Sentinel, CrowdStrike NG-SIEM, Elastic; Snowflake, Databricks, Azure Data Explorer, Azure Log Analytics, Microsoft Fabric, Amazon Security Lake; S3, Azure Blob, GCS.
- Detection-as-code with version control implies reviewable changes; approval steps for hunts are not described on the pages reviewed.
Nebulock
- SaaS. Helix federated search "to get data just-in-time, not just-in-case".
- Integrations: Okta, Microsoft Entra, Duo, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, AWS CloudTrail, Microsoft Event Hub, Microsoft Sentinel, vulnerability tools (beta), Jamf, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Tines, Jira, GitHub.
- Intel from CrowdStrike, Mandiant, MISP and community feeds.
- "Every detection rule must pass a Retrohunt before deployment."
- Rules edited via chat or direct SQL, exported to GitHub, with immutable version history, compare and revert.
Which should you look at first?
Nebulock states everything in the matrix that Anvilogic states, so compare Anvilogic on the detail in the notes and in a trial.
Look at Nebulock first if your must-haves include new rules tested on historical data before release or names its intelligence sources.
Either way, put both through the same trial questions, and try the calculator with your own must-haves.
