Grading Results

We evaluated leading SIEMs and security platforms against our AI grading criteria. Here’s how they stack up.

It’s important to note that this is a rapidly evolving space. As vendors race to add AI capabilities, announcements often outpace real-world implementations. Our grading focuses not just on what’s promised—but on what’s operational, public, and structurally aligned to long-term AI maturity. These evaluations are current as of today, but we expect the landscape to shift dramatically over the next 12 to 18 months.
