Agentic Index
Prophet Security vs UnderDefense (2026)
Both score 8.5 of 14 and they differ on whether analysts come with the software.
Prophet is a platform with continuously learning agents, explicit auditable reasoning per alert and single tenant VPC deployment, covering triage through threat hunting. UnderDefense pairs its agentic platform with a human led managed detection service, where agentic teammates handle around eighty percent of first and second tier work, delivering incident context in two minutes and containment within five, with 120 certified analysts behind it, from roughly eleven to fifteen dollars per asset monthly. Software you operate, or an outcome with people attached.
Choose Prophet Security if
- You have a security operations team and want to make it faster, not replace it.
- Single tenant VPC deployment is a requirement your data policy imposes.
- Threat hunting beyond triage is in scope for your team.
Choose UnderDefense if
- You do not have twenty four hour coverage and hiring for it is not realistic.
- Containment within five minutes is an outcome commitment rather than a capability claim.
- Per asset pricing is easier to model than an enterprise platform contract.
