Integrate with your current tech

Above plugs into the identity, HR, EDR, and cloud tools you already run, so every investigation arrives with full context.

Why teams switch

Where DTEX hands the investigation back to you

DTEX is strong at signal. Getting to a finished case is where the cost and the wait show up.

Investigations cost extra

Real investigations mean subscribing to DTEX i3, their human analyst team, as a separate paid service on top of the platform.

Alerts without the answer

The platform surfaces risk scores and activities of interest. Turning them into a contextual case is still on your analysts.

Capped, on a cadence

i3 investigations are capped per tier (roughly 6 to 12 a year) and run on a schedule. Real risk doesn’t wait for a quarterly cadence.

What sets Above apart

The investigation runs itself

AI runs every investigation

No i3 contract, no analyst queue, no annual cap. Above’s agents produce the finished case on every signal. It’s the work DTEX bills to its human i3 team.

Every alert arrives investigated

DTEX hands you a risk score and an activity of interest. Above hands you the timeline, the context, and the recommended action: a case, not a to-do.

Sees and investigates everything

SaaS, endpoint, identity, plus the AI era: custom GPTs, OAuth-scoped agents, personal AI. Every surface, one investigation.

An honest take

When DTEX might be the right call

If you want a vendor’s expert analysts to run insider investigations for you as a managed service, and you value DTEX’s pseudonymized, low-footprint telemetry and threat-research pedigree, i3 is a strong offering. Above is for teams that want investigations run automatically by AI, on every signal, included, with no services contract or annual cap.

Moving off DTEX? We handle the switch

Run Above alongside DTEX during evaluation, compare investigations on your own data, and drop the i3 contract when you’re ready. No rip-and-replace risk.

Questions teams ask when comparing

How is Above different from DTEX?
DTEX surfaces risk scores and alerts, and offers i3, a paid team of human analysts, to run investigations. Above’s AI agents produce the finished investigation on every signal, included, with no services contract and no annual cap.
Do I need a managed service to get investigations?
Not with Above. AI runs every investigation automatically. With DTEX, full investigations typically mean subscribing to i3 or tasking your own analysts to build the case from alerts.
Does Above just give alerts and risk scores?
No. Every signal arrives as a finished investigation: behavioral timeline, context, and recommended actions, not a score to triage.
How long does it take to switch?
Run Above in parallel with DTEX, compare investigations on your own data, and switch when you’re ready. We handle policy mapping and data connection.
