Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 0 of the 71 other automation tools we grade
Torq is an AI SOC platform for security teams. It uses AI agents to triage alerts, manage cases, investigate incidents and respond to threats, with automation workflows behind them. The vendor sells through demos and does not publish prices on its site.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Torq, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No prices are published, the pricing address returns a page-not-found error, and it's for security teams only.

- 3
Auto triage
AI agents de-duplicate events and filter false positives, giving verdicts that the vendor says are grounded in your team's past decisions.
- 4
Case management
Cases are created, assigned and managed from one place, which the vendor describes as the single source of truth for an incident.
- 5
AI investigation
Specialized AI agents take on repetitive investigation work and record evidence, timelines and recommended actions for review.
- 6
A 1.6 GPA, above 0 of 71
That is against the other automation tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

Keep it
To replace Torq you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for triaging security alerts with AI agents
Torq is a security operations platform where AI agents triage alerts, investigate and respond, with case management alongside. No prices are published, the pricing address returns a page-not-found error, and it's for security teams only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No prices are published; the site directs buyers to request a demo. With nothing on record it sits at C. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial are listed, and the site directs buyers to request a demo. |
| Features | C | AI triage, case management, investigation agents, a response agent called Socrates and threat hunting runbooks. It's a narrower job than general automation, and most of it is the vendor's own description. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Agents, runbooks and a context model need setting up before they earn their keep. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only. The listing names no integrations. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Torq is for
- Fits if you run a security operations team buried in alerts and false positives
- Works for teams that want AI to write up evidence and a timeline for each case
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want general business or personal automation, as it's aimed at security operations
- Skip it if you need a price: none is published and the vendor's pricing address returns not found
- Tight if you want to test it first, because no free plan or trial is listed
- Watch out: the pages we read name no integrations, so you can't check it fits your tools
Good to know
Good for
- Security operations teams drowning in alerts that need triage
- MSSPs and MDRs, which the vendor lists as a separate audience
- SOCs that want automated response with a human able to oversee it
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; the site directs buyers to request a demo.
- It is aimed at security operations, not general business or personal automation.
- The vendor's own pricing address returns a page-not-found error.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Torq you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 69 of the 71 other automation tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Case management: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
What this rests on. Torq’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
