Side by side
Torq AI SOC Platform vs Vega: facts side by side
The short answer
Both Torq and Vega are AI SOC analyst products. Torq replaces SOAR, while Vega works beside SOAR. Torq documents running response actions itself, acting alone on some cases and a published integration count 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.
