The alternatives, in the order that answers the gaps

  1. Cyware, 7.24 of 10. Cyware is first at 7.24. It documents approvals from a mobile app and playbook audit trails, which answers the approvals gap, and its AI playbook builder is a vendor claim with no stated limits. Cyware v Google Security Operations.
  2. Torq, 6.77 of 10. Torq is second at 6.77. It documents cases and approvals oversight in its vendor page, and publishes no price, as Google does not. Google Security Operations v Torq.
  3. D3 Security, 6.67 of 10. D3 Security is fourth at 6.67. It documents four autonomy modes and a pricing structure, and its AI figures are vendor claims. D3 Security v Google Security Operations.
  4. Mate Security, 6.22 of 10. Mate Security is sixth at 6.22. It documents approvals in three modes and a Gamebook sign-off, and it publishes nothing on deployment, which Google at least states in part. Google Security Operations v Mate Security.
  5. Microsoft Sentinel, 6.21 of 10. Microsoft Sentinel is seventh at 6.21. It is the other SIEM-bundled option, with published prices and a documented automation model. Its AI features were not found. Google Security Operations v Microsoft Sentinel.
