Tines

Rapid addition of AI-agent capabilities on top of its workflow canvas and continued growth of its public Story library.

Practitioners frequently cite Tines for meaningfully reducing manual, repetitive SOC tasks without requiring dedicated engineering resources to build and maintain automations.

Unicorn valuation, $85M in 2025 revenue, and backing from strategic investors like CrowdStrike are strong, independently reported signals.

A vendor-neutral, no-code automation layer that isn't tied to any single security suite is a genuine structural alternative to SOAR modules bundled inside proprietary SIEM/XDR platforms. However, Tines raised a $125M Series C at a $1.125B valuation, reaching unicorn status (per prnewswire.com), which is the scale of an established incumbent rather than an emerging category disruptor, so this dimension is scored more conservatively.

Strong customer adoption and a widely used community Story library are good adoption signals, though efficacy here is about process automation rather than threat-detection accuracy, which is harder to independently benchmark.

As SOC tool sprawl continues, a vendor-agnostic automation layer is likely to remain relevant regardless of which specific SIEM or EDR products an organization uses.
