Decision brief

An open-source security automation platform with features encompassing custom agent building, sandboxed execution of untrusted code, and integration with enterprise tools.

Good fit when

When you need an all-in-one solution for automating workflows that includes agents, case management, and event-driven systems.
If your team requires the development of custom Python scripts within a secure environment such as `nsjail` sandboxes or `pid` runtimes.

Avoid when

For teams strictly looking to use closed-source proprietary solutions for security automation platforms.
When you prefer a tool that does not require manual setup and maintenance for sandboxed execution environments like nsjail.

Pricing:: freemium - `tracecat` is available under the AGPL-3.0 license with options to access enterprise features through managed Cloud or self-hosted deployments with dedicated support.
Requirements:: Requires Docker
