Tines vs Vega: facts side by side
The short answer
Tines is a SOAR product and Vega is an AI SOC analyst product. Tines replaces SOAR, while Vega works beside SOAR. Tines 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.
