Instead of Vigil
Vigil alternatives
Vigil focuses on endpoint events and AI-agent workflows: it evaluates Sigma detections in real time, returns structured JSON, and supports HQL searches across event history. Its open-source plan is free, self-hosted, and includes Windows and Linux agents, forensic collection, and multi-endpoint support. Human approval for destructive actions and short-lived enrollment tokens add controls, while Vigil Connect currently supports Wazuh and Elastic.

A different SIEM may fit better if you need broader security coverage, managed deployment, or a different approach to response and analysis. Vigil bundles 41 Sigma rules across 10 MITRE ATT&CK tactics, and its Cloud plan is coming soon; weigh those boundaries against each alternative’s detection, endpoint, cloud, and log capabilities. Also compare deployment options, supported data sources, investigation and response tools, and price. A free self-hosted tool may suit teams that want control, while paid or managed offerings may be preferable when their wider coverage or operations align more closely with your needs.
