The platform observes real browser execution, not configuration, capturing every script, pixel, and third or fourth-party tool as it runs, and using AI to detect malicious code, unauthorized data flows, and behavioral change the moment it happens. It deploys with zero code changes, zero agents, and no access to customer data, typically live within one business day. One engine powers four hubs, each answering a different question about the same website: Security Hub detects web threats that traditional tools like WAFs miss, from Magecart skimming to AI-generated scripts. Privacy Hub verifies user data is only collected and shared as authorized, supporting GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PIPEDA. Offensive Hub runs continuous, agentic penetration testing at up to 10x the capacity of manual pentesting. PCI Module automates PCI DSS 4.0.1 Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 with audit-ready evidence. Together they give Security, Privacy, Compliance, and Digital teams one 360-degree view of web risk instead of four disconnected tools. Reflectiz's Exposure Rating draws on an intelligence database built from monitoring millions of websites, and the platform has been recognized with a 2026 Fortress Cyber Security Award, a 2025 Top InfoSec Innovator award, and G2 High Performer status. Customers consistently cite fast, zero-touch onboarding and hands-on expert support alongside the platform. 33 Ratings Visit Website New Relic There are an estimated 25 million engineers in the world across dozens of distinct functions.

JAMS automates jobs across Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM i, z/OS, and OpenVMS, with native integrations for the databases, BI tools, and ERP systems already running your business, including SQL Server and SAP. Jobs run on any schedule or trigger off other events, and dependency management keeps multi-step workflows in the right order. Every job is centrally monitored, with notifications on success or failure and an audit trail of every execution. Built-in conversion tools migrate existing jobs from Windows Task Scheduler, SQL Agent, or Cron without rebuilding them, and JAMS replaces homegrown, single-platform scripts with one centrally managed system. JAMS includes two AI capabilities at no additional cost. JAX is an AI agent built into the JAMS Web Client. Ask it a question in plain language, and it finds a job, troubleshoots a failure, or looks up how to do something, grounded in JAMS documentation, not general AI guesswork. It acts only when asked, and every change waits for your approval. JAMS MCP brings JAMS into the AI coding tools teams already use, including Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop. Both run inside the customer's network with the signed-in user's permissions and no elevated AI account, and every action, AI-driven or not, lands in the same audit trail as everything else in JAMS. For teams managing thousands of jobs across SQL Server, ADF, Airflow, SAP, JDE, and Banner, this cuts tribal knowledge and middle-of-the-night troubleshooting. Knowledge that once lived in one person's head becomes something any team member can ask about directly. The AI lives in the product, not in the support queue. Support is staffed by humans JAMS will never outsource, based in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. New tickets go to long-tenured engineers, and every JAMS customer has the CEO's cell phone number. JAMS' mission is to reduce the operational burden of critical automation, so teams spend more time on the work automation was meant to free them for. 279 Ratings Visit Website

Obkio lets us monitor our internet connections around the world and address issues before users notice. Very easy to setup and use. Good variety of public agents available. You pay for what you use, nothing more. Gives a good amount of information. Great tools to visualize the state of a network. Good wiki. Cons Nothing except we would like to have more time to use all the features provided by the product. Nothing so far I can think of, like I said very easy to use and very powerful. Nothing comes to mind right now. I am satisfied with how I use it. Our team is not sure how to pronounce it. Is the O a hard or soft O? Nothing comes to mind right now!
