Criterion by criterion
Anvilogic stronger on 4, Cotool stronger on 1, level on 2.
Intel to detection weight 20%
Level
Anvilogic 4 / 5Cotool 4 / 5
Anvilogic: Detect agents take threat intel to validated, deployed detection logic on every connected platform; no speed figure is stated.
Cotool: Agents gather intelligence from the web, check each item for relevance to your environment and propose detections; no speed figure is stated.
Continuous hunting weight 20%
Cotool is stronger
Anvilogic 3 / 5Cotool 4 / 5
Anvilogic: Search and Detect agents cover intelligence-led work; the pages we reviewed do not describe a separate continuous hunting workflow.
Cotool: Hunt agents work from intelligence as it appears, and chat investigations can be turned into always-on agents.
ATT&CK coverage weight 8%
Level
Anvilogic 4 / 5Cotool 4 / 5
Anvilogic: Thousands of MITRE-mapped detections and coverage scoring against ATT&CK; the scoring view itself is not shown in detail.
Cotool: Maps the whole detection suite across sources onto ATT&CK to monitor coverage and surface gaps.
Rule lifecycle weight 7%
Anvilogic is stronger
