Which should a lean team choose?

Choose 7AI if

  • it matters most that it shows its reasoning (9/10)
  • it matters most that it investigates end to end (8/10)

Choose 7AI if your analysts will not trust a verdict they cannot trace step by step, or if you want the option of a fully managed service on the same platform. Confirm integrations and hosting early, since neither is published.

Choose Vega if

  • it matters most that it shows its reasoning (9/10)
  • it matters most that it investigates end to end (8/10)

Choose Vega if your team is detection-led and wants autonomous triage whose every conclusion can be checked against the query behind it. Look elsewhere first if you want the platform to carry out response actions, or need published connectors, hosting details or pricing.
