ExtraHop Reveal(x) vs. Vectra AI Platform

ExtraHop is a must have for on-premise environments where traffic passes through a physical data centre or network operations centre giving complete visibility into what is happening on the corporate network. This works flawlessly if business operations are in office. For hybrid or remote setups, the solution still works well by placing ExtraHop traffic between the VPN termination and firewall and setting up a span port. ExtraHop works well for cloud based deployments as well with their virtual appliances; however, it does not have the same edge against competition as many CNAPP solutions can gather similar data using graph API's provided by the cloud service provider. That said, ExtraHop does provide some unique features that CNAPP's do not around network operations.
