Agentic Index
Exaforce vs Prophet Security (2026)
Exaforce and Prophet Security both investigate alerts end to end and neither publishes a price. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
They sit close on the grid, 8 and 8.5 of 14, and differ on data and on testing. Exaforce brings its own data layer, with four Exabots working over telemetry it ingests and baselines of normal behavior for every identity and resource, positioned against SIEM cost. Prophet works over the customer's existing tools with an analyst, a threat hunter and a detection engineer, and lets teams test plain language guidance against their own alert history before it goes live. On the grid Exaforce is Full on knowledge grounding and workflow orchestration where Prophet is Partial; Prophet is Full on testing where Exaforce is None, and Partial on deployment where Exaforce's could not be established. Choose Exaforce to consolidate telemetry; choose Prophet for tested, auditable investigation over the stack you keep.
On the Agentic Index AI SOC ranking, Exaforce clears the bar and Prophet Security does not. Exaforce documents all five investigation loop capabilities in full; Prophet Security does not document workflow orchestration in full. 23 of the 85 vendors in the lane clear it. See the AI SOC ranking

Integrations & Tool Calling Ability to connect agents to real systems through native integrations, OAuth-authenticated actions, custom tools, APIs, webhooks, or MCP-compatible tools. |
||
|
ExaforceIntegrations & Tool Calling More than 120 integrations ingest and query the customer's sources, and Exabot Respond takes action in them. It quarantines endpoints and emails, isolates hosts, updates security groups, and suspends users, resets MFA and revokes sessions across Okta, Entra ID and AWS, and it acts on tickets in ServiceNow. The count now stands at 130+ integrations across 21 categories, from IaaS, SaaS, identity and code to SIEM, SOAR, MDM, HRIS and crypto infrastructure, and customers can request new ones. Response workflows can also call REST APIs and webhooks and use Perplexity for web search.

Prophet SecurityIntegrations & Tool Calling More than 200 integrations come out of the box, and the AI SOC Analyst responds through scoped, permissioned Agent Actions in the customer's systems, from notifications to quarantining a machine. Results are delivered to Slack, Teams or the customer's own webhook. Investigations query SIEM, EDR, identity, cloud and email tools, and delivery can be set separately for each channel.

Workflow Orchestration Ability to sequence, branch, retry, route, and combine deterministic workflow nodes with autonomous agent steps. |
||
|
ExaforceWorkflow Orchestration Teams build response workflows in a visual drag and drop builder with nodes for conditions, actions, approvals, AI reasoning, loops and branching, and can mix autonomous and approved steps in one workflow, beside the Detect, Triage, Investigate and Respond Exabots. Deterministic steps sit beside reasoning nodes that interpret context. SourceExaforce, exaforce.com/platform/exabot-respondread 2026-10-05 |

Prophet SecurityWorkflow Orchestration Each alert runs through a fixed investigation, determination and response sequence, and customers can add guidance to a single step. There is no branching, conditions, handoff between agents or workflow that customers build. Related investigations are grouped into incidents automatically.

Triggers & Channel Coverage How agents wake up and where they work: schedules, webhooks, message events, CRM events, inbox events, chat, email, voice, and collaboration tools. |
||
|
ExaforceTriggers & Channel Coverage Detections and alerts from ingested telemetry start triage and investigation without a person asking, and response workflows trigger automatically, on a schedule or manually. Analysts can also start work by asking a hypothesis in plain language, and with the managed MDR option, Exaforce analysts and the Exabots run the SOC around the clock.

Prophet SecurityTriggers & Channel Coverage Alerts are investigated the moment they arrive, 100 percent of them at every severity, with no analyst starting the work. Each investigation begins by summarizing the alert, pulling out its artifacts and planning the questions an expert analyst would ask.

Knowledge Grounding & RAG Ability to ground agent behavior in company data through document ingestion, retrieval, external knowledge APIs, semantic search, or RAG layers. |
||
|
ExaforceKnowledge Grounding & RAG A semantic model builds and maintains relationships between the customer's identities, resources and actions as a living map of the environment, over a data platform that ingests and normalizes the customer's security data, with the customer's business context (org structure, policies, roles) layered in. The knowledge model blends technical expertise, curated outside intelligence and awareness of the environment, drawing on LLM reasoning, past decisions and fixed business rules. The data platform covers cloud, SaaS, identity, code and endpoint data. SourceExaforce, exaforce.com/platform/multi-model-airead 2026-10-05 |
||
|
Prophet SecurityKnowledge Grounding & RAG Investigations gather evidence live across the customer's connected tools and apply the guidance the customer writes. There is no index, graph or embeddings layer over the customer's own knowledge. The AI Detection Engineer maps the customer's MITRE ATT&CK coverage from its own investigations.

||
|
Memory & State Persistence Ability to persist context across a run, conversation, workflow, user, team, or longer-term memory layer. |
||
|
ExaforceMemory & State Persistence The knowledge model draws on historic decisions, user confirmations and outcomes, so state carries across investigations, and the semantic model stores context in a structured form. Exaforce sets out no scope or retention period for that store. SourceExaforce, exaforce.com/platform/multi-model-airead 2026-10-05 |
||
|
Prophet SecurityMemory & State Persistence Customers teach the agent playbooks, policies and preferences in plain language, organization wide, per investigation or per step. Nothing is learned silently, and every entry's source is visible and correctable. What the agent learns carries into every later investigation and stays when an analyst leaves. Most entries are guidance the product applies, and Prophet does not say how long they are kept. SourceProphet Security, prophetsecurity.ai/ai-soc-analystread 2026-10-05 |

Human Oversight & Guardrails Approval steps, consent checkpoints, escalation rules, structured guardrails, policy constraints, and pause/resume controls. |
||
|
ExaforceHuman Oversight & Guardrails Response workflows can require human approval through Slack, Teams or email before an action runs, with timeouts falling back to safe defaults (pause, rollback or limited containment), and Exaforce calls its responses approved and reversible. Ready made prompts ask users and managers to confirm with buttons, timeouts and automatic escalation, and Exabot Respond is sold as automated action with analyst oversight.

Prophet SecurityHuman Oversight & Guardrails Agent Actions run autonomously or only with the customer's sign-off, each remediation is previewed before it runs, and actions are scoped and permissioned. Autonomy covers only the actions a customer has approved, and the customer widens that scope when the agent's track record justifies it. Watchtower experts also review every malicious determination around the clock. SourceProphet Security, prophetsecurity.ai/ai-soc-analyst and prophetsecurity.airead 2026-10-05 |

ExaforceDeployment & Data Residency Customers cannot choose a hosting region or run the platform in their own environment, and the login host carries a us label. Self managed means the customer's team runs the SOC on Exaforce's platform, not that the customer hosts the software, and with the managed MDR option Exaforce analysts run it as a 24/7 SOC.

Model Flexibility & Routing Ability to work across multiple foundation models, route tasks to different models, or let buyers bring their own providers and keys. |
||
|
ExaforceModel Flexibility & Routing Exaforce combines its own semantic, behavioral and knowledge models with LLMs from providers it does not name, and customers cannot choose the model. The LLMs act as the reasoning layer and take validated entities and calculated scores as input, which Exaforce says keeps them from hallucinating. The behavioral model learns what normal looks like for every entity and produces explainable anomaly scores. SourceExaforce, exaforce.com/platform/multi-model-airead 2026-10-05 |

|
ExaforceTesting, Debugging & Optimization The Exabots come with no evaluation harness, scored test cases, quality gate or optimization loop. Exaforce claims 90% fewer false positives, 95% less time to investigate, under 30 minutes from alert to response and more than $600K average savings against a traditional SOC stack.
