Cyware v Mate Security: the nine rows side by side
Playbook authoring model
weight 14 of 100Cyware
8.5Ahead
Drag-and-drop designer, low-code Python editor and 150+ playbook templates; AI playbook builder, code generator and run-log debugger.

Mate Security
7.0
Not a playbook builder. Documented answer: a Gamebook describes investigative intent, required evidence, permitted actions and escalation points in plain language; Mate says it tests the description against past cases and runs it in shadow mode before sign-off. Tool contact sits in separate Flows that Mate maintains.

Mate Security
8.0
Agents on a Security Context Graph for triage, investigation, response and hunting. Mate's own figures (98.7 percent accuracy on 7,200 alerts, 97 percent false-positive auto-closure) are unaudited vendor claims; the page does not give who measured. Agents do not hold open access to systems; Flows make the tool calls.

Migration tooling and import or export formats
weight 14 of 100Cyware
5.0
The Orchestrate product page lists "import/export playbooks" (vendor claim) and names no file format and no source platform, so under the printed rule the row sits at 5.0, the same as an unnamed translation claim.
cyware.com, read 2026-11-03 (vendor claim)
Mate Security
5.0
Mate says it translates SOAR playbooks into Gamebooks and its blog cites one unnamed customer's 711 playbooks becoming 10 Gamebooks (vendor claim). The pages name no source platform and no format, and no export of Gamebooks is documented, so the claim sits at the floor of the partial band and the matrix scores it as no documented path.

The verdict for Cyware v Mate Security, by buyer type
- regulated or air-gapped
- Cyware fits better, because it reaches on-prem tools through lightweight integrator agents that avoid exposing internal networks (vendor claim); Mate documents nothing for this buyer type on the pages read.
- agent-first
- Mate fits better, because it documents three autonomy modes and Gamebooks that set when agents must escalate, stop or ask for approval (vendor claim); Cyware announced an Agentic AI Fabric on 2026-03-18 (vendor claim).
- leaving a legacy SOAR
- No separation on the evidence read: Mate claims it translates SOAR playbooks into Gamebooks, naming no source or format (vendor claim), which the portability matrix scores as no documented path; Cyware's page lists import/export playbooks and names no source platform or format (vendor claim).
