AI SOC comparison
Automated investigation is the baseline, not the difference. What separates AI SOCs is the evidence they keep, how well they know your environment, what you receive, and who acts on it.
Ten platforms · six capabilities
Ingext and Exaforce share the top tier for data foundation, raw history, environment context and response. Ingext’s distinction is reporting: it is the only platform with a full customer assessment suite.

Three dots is the broadest scope on that capability, one is narrow or dependent on another tool. A “?” means the published evidence was not enough to score. Scores describe documented scope, not a lab benchmark of accuracy or speed. Ingext’s response score reflects its full response; the white paper scored the Fluency SIEM, which delivers findings and recommendations only.
The questions to ask any AI SOC
01 · Data foundation
If the platform depends on another tool’s data, it can only see what that tool kept, for as long as it kept it.
Ingext: Ingext collects, normalizes, stores and detects on the data itself. It started as the data pipeline.
02 · Raw history
Attacks are often discovered late. A saved case summary is not the raw events you need to prove what happened.
Ingext: 12 months of searchable raw history by default, so late discoveries can still be proven.
03 · Environment context
The same sign-in means something different for a contractor than for a global admin.
Ingext: Identities, users, applications, devices, vulnerabilities and security settings, linked to activity.
04 · Customer reporting
Leaders need hygiene, compliance and gap assessments they can act on, not just a stream of case summaries.
Ingext: The only full assessment suite in the comparison: incident, hygiene, compliance and gap reports.
05 · Hygiene and exposure
Closing a misconfiguration is cheaper than investigating the breach it allows.
Ingext: Dedicated identity, endpoint and vulnerability posture reports, with the fixes ranked.
06 · Response automation
Some platforms execute containment themselves. Others hand you findings and recommendations to approve.
Ingext: Full response: Ingext carries out containment and fixes itself, within the approval rules you set, and reports back to your team in Teams or Slack.
How this was scored
Scores come from an AI SOC comparison white paper with a research cutoff of 1 October 2026. It used each vendor’s published product material, plus owner-confirmed capability for our own platform, and it does not rank detection accuracy, speed or cost.
