Side by side

Mate Security vs Vega: facts side by side

The short answer

Both Mate and Vega are AI SOC analyst products. Mate replaces SOAR, while Vega works beside SOAR. Mate documents running response actions itself, approval or sign-off before actions and acting alone on some cases that Vega does not describe. We do not name a winner: which fits depends on your team, and the fit finder can order them by your answers.

What are the strengths and limits of each?

Mate

Strengths

  • Investigations grounded in a context graph of memories and decision traces from your own team.

Limits

  • No pricing unit is published; AWS Marketplace lists one Enterprise tier.
  • No integration count is published; confirm your SIEM, EDR and ticketing tools are covered.

Vega

Strengths

  • Each verdict shows the query behind it.
  • Hunting, detection-as-code and triage on data left where it lives.

Limits

  • Executing response is not described; analysts or other tools act.
  • No connector count and no public pricing.
