Encord
Platform
The multimodal data layer for physical AI: one platform for managing, curating, annotating and aligning sensor, video, image and text data at petabyte scale. The modules a buyer licenses — Annotate, Index and Active — are recorded separately.
Palo Alto Networks
Platform
Endpoint detection and response platform marketed as "the foundation of the AI-driven SOC," with an AI agent assistant (Cortex AgentiX) for investigation and response.
An AI-driven security operations platform that unifies SIEM, SOAR and detection-and-response data with automation and AI agents to run a security operations centre.
Palo Alto Networks' proprietary AI system combining machine learning, deep learning and generative AI to automate threat detection, prevention and remediation across its Strata, Prisma Cloud and Cortex security platforms.
An AI security platform that discovers, scans and protects AI models, agents, applications and data against runtime and posture threats.
Runtime gateway component of Prisma AIRS that inspects and governs traffic to and from AI models and agents.
"The first AI-powered, unified solution for network security management and operations," with an AI assistant (Strata Copilot) and purpose-built AI agents for policy optimization, threat detection and remediation.
No counterpart
Encord sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Palo Alto Networks yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
Merlin is Encord's agentic intelligence layer, letting teams build, observe and optimise their data infrastructure through conversation. It creates complete labeling setups from prompts or documents, reports data metrics and coverage gaps on demand, and surfaces issues affecting model performance. It is reachable inside Encord or from external tools over Model Context Protocol, including Claude and Slack.
Agent platform
Data Agents automate Encord data pipelines by integrating humans, state-of-the-art models and a customer's own models into data workflows. They handle tasks such as pre-labeling, object segmentation and tracking, video captioning, audio transcription and sentiment analysis, combined with human-in-the-loop quality assurance.
Data service
Encord Active is Encord's model and data evaluation product. It evaluates and validates models against their data to surface, curate and prioritise the most valuable data for training and fine-tuning, covering model robustness checks, drift and failure-mode detection, automated label-error detection, and active learning workflows across images, video, 3D/LiDAR, audio and documents.
Encord Annotate is Encord's multimodal data labeling product, used to annotate and review images, video, audio, text, documents, DICOM, LiDAR and geospatial data. It provides AI-assisted labeling, customizable ontologies, human-in-the-loop review workflows and quality-control tooling for managing large annotation teams.
Managed annotation service: Encord supplies vetted domain experts for a customer's task and runs the projects, with an evaluation workflow built around the customer's own spec rather than volume alone.
Managed collection of real-world training data for physical AI: in-field operators, teleoperation facilities and configurable lab environments gathering the embodied, egocentric and sensor data a robotics model needs.
Encord Index is Encord's multimodal data curation and management product. It lets teams search datasets with natural language and similarity search across video, image, audio, LiDAR, text, document, geospatial and HTML files, filter by 40+ data metrics and custom metadata, visualise outliers on embeddings plots, and remove duplicates and poor-quality data via Collections. Data stays in the customer's own cloud with 'zero data migration required'.
End-to-end data service for robotics, autonomous systems and embodied AI: data collection (in-field operators, teleoperation), curation, LiDAR/point-cloud/multi-camera annotation, VLA/VLM action-captioning, and post-deployment feedback loops, with on-prem/VPC deployment.
Palo Alto Networks sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Encord yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
A cloud-delivered service within Prisma SASE that discovers shadow AI usage and applies access controls and data loss prevention to generative AI applications.
