Which should a lean team choose?

Choose Artemis if

  • it matters most that it autonomy you can dial (9/10)
  • it matters most that it investigates end to end (8/10)

Choose Artemis Security if you want to decide action by action and connector by connector what may run unattended, or if you maintain a SOAR and want an AI-native builder beside it. Look elsewhere first if you need published pricing or hosting details, or a vendor with a longer track record.

Choose Torq if

  • it matters most that it reaches your data sources (9/10)
  • it matters most that it investigates end to end (8/10)

Choose Torq if you have many tools to connect and want fixed automations and AI agents in one product, built from plain-language descriptions. Look elsewhere first if you need named approval modes per action or published prices.
