## What the models said about MISP

- "avoid building a MISP instance yourself" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, paraphrase prompt, hard negative)
- "Why Be Cautious: They are only "free" if your time is free... choosing an open-source platform will likely result in "shelfware""},{"vendor_raw_name":"OpenCTI","label":"soft_negative","position":2,"evidence":"Open-source platforms like MISP and OpenCTI are world-class... Why Be Cautious: They are only "free" if your time is free." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "tools like MISP and OpenCTI are often valid, but they may require more internal effort and may not suit teams that need turnkey enterprise support" (Perplexity Sonar, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "For most companies with a limited budget, I'd start with MISP. It's free, open-source, and built to collect, organize, correlate, and share threat indicators." (GPT-6 Luna, budget prompt, first choice)
- "Start with MISP if you have technical staff who can manage it—it's the most mature and widely adopted open-source option" (Kimi K2, budget prompt, first choice)
- "MISP is the most widely deployed open-source TIP globally. It is completely free and open-source under the AGPL license" (Muse Glimmer 30B, budget prompt, first choice)

## What the models said about SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence

- "positioned for larger teams or come with custom pricing, so they are usually not the best first pick when budget is constrained" (Perplexity Sonar, budget prompt, soft negative)
- "SOCRadar and similar platforms have user reports of "volume of false positives" requiring extensive manual tuning" (Kimi K2, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "prioritize platforms that offer Extended Threat Intelligence (XTI) or Brand/Identity protection (like SOCRadar, Flare, or Cyble)" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, scale prompt, first choice)
- "Choose SOCRadar. It offers the most comprehensive, direct threat-intel suite tailored for mid-market budgets." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, direct prompt, first choice)
