Insider Risk Platform Comparison

Above vs. Legacy solutions

Teramind records everything: screens, keystrokes, sessions. It leaves your analysts hours of footage to review.

Above sees and investigates everything too, with AI, and surfaces only what matters, without putting your people under a microscope.

Why teams switch

Where legacy solutions leave your team doing the work

Hours of recordings to review

Screen recordings, screenshots, and keystroke logs pile up, and your analysts still have to watch them to reconstruct what actually happened.

Surveillance your people resent

Constant screen and keystroke monitoring erodes trust and invites privacy, works-council, and legal pushback before it catches anything.

Rules you have to write

Detection leans on keyword, regex, and fingerprint policies plus baseline anomalies, and still misses the patient, high-performing insider.

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.

Integrations

Built for Investigation, Not Just Logging

Above and legacy solutions both connect to your stack. The difference is what the connections are for.

Above's integrations pull context in

Identity, HR, and SaaS activity data feed directly into every AI-driven Above investigation, building a real narrative around who did what and why it matters. Teramind's integrations push logs out; activity and alerts are formatted and shipped to your SIEM or SOAR for your team to interpret manually.

Identity and HR context are built into every Above investigation

Above connects to Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Deel to pull role, department, manager, hire date, and account status for the specific person involved in an incident automatically, as part of the AI investigation itself. You get a narrative that already knows who someone is and what's normal for their role, not just a username to look up separately.

Above leverages SaaS activity as a real evidence source

Above ingests Google Workspace activity directly as investigation evidence, not just endpoint capture. That means visibility into what happened in the apps themselves, correlated alongside browser and identity signals in the same investigation.

Above gives you context instead of logs

Above's integrations are built to answer "who is this, what's normal, what changed, is it risky" automatically, inside the investigation. Teramind, like most monitoring platforms' integrations, is built to format and forward events to your SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing system, leaving the interpretation to your team.

What sets Above apart

AI does the watching, not your analysts

AI does the investigation

Legacy solutions hand you the footage; your analysts reconstruct the story. Above’s AI agents assemble the behavioral timeline, pull in context, and recommend the next action. No one scrubs through screen recordings.

Protect the company, not surveil your people

No blanket screen capture or keystroke logging. Above investigates behavior and intent, so you reduce risk without a human watching everyone’s screen. It’s the posture employees, works councils, and legal can actually accept.

Sees and investigates everything

SaaS, endpoint, identity, plus the AI era: custom GPTs trained on your IP, OAuth-scoped agents, customer data in personal AI. Not just captured and logged. Investigated.

An honest take

When legacy solutions might be the right call

If you specifically need exhaustive session recording as forensic evidence, productivity and time tracking, or hard enforcement controls (block, quarantine, USB lockdown) on managed desktops, legacy solutions are built for that depth. Above is for teams that want the investigation done for them, coverage beyond the desktop, and a privacy-respecting posture the whole organization can stand behind.

Interested in trying it out?
We handle the switch

Run Above alongside your current stack during evaluation, compare investigations on your own data, and retire the screen recording when you’re ready. No rip-and-replace risk.

Questions teams ask when comparing

How is Above different from legacy solutions?
Legacy solutions record screens, keystrokes and sessions and hands your analysts the footage to review. Above runs the investigation itself: AI agents assemble the behavioral timeline, pull in context, and surface finished conclusions.
Does Above record screens or log keystrokes?
No. Above investigates behavior and intent without blanket screen capture or keystroke logging, the privacy-respecting posture employees, works councils, and legal can stand behind.
Can Above replace legacy solutions for AI and LLM monitoring?
Yes. Above sees and investigates the AI era: custom GPTs trained on your IP, OAuth-scoped agents, and customer data in personal AI, coverage that goes beyond a desktop-and-server agent.
How long does it take to switch?
Run Above alongside Teramind during evaluation, compare investigations on your own data, and retire the screen recording when ready. No rip-and-replace risk.
