Agentic Index
Culminate vs Radiant Security (2026)
Both score 6.5 of 14 triaging the full alert stream and they argue different value.
Culminate investigates every alert using expert level techniques at machine speed with no playbooks, code or prompts to write, connecting by API across information management, endpoint, cloud, identity and ticketing and orchestrating the stack during investigations. Radiant triages every alert type with integrated log management pitched explicitly as a counterweight to information management cost. Culminate saves analyst hours; Radiant saves licence spend, and only one of those is a line item your chief financial officer already knows about.
Choose Culminate if
- No playbooks, code or prompts to write is the adoption cost you are avoiding.
- Orchestrating the whole stack during investigation is deeper than reading from it.
- Analyst time, not licensing, is your scarce resource.
Choose Radiant Security if
- Information management licensing is a cost you have been asked to reduce.
- Integrated log management consolidates two purchases into one.
- Adaptive triage across every alert type is the coverage you need.
