What five vendors document
Vendor product descriptions and trial questions are separate. Availability can depend on plan and integrations.
| Vendor | Focus | Vendor-described capability | Verify in a trial | Consider if |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Astrix SecurityVendor product page | AI agent and NHI discovery | Identity graph linking agents, secrets, permissions, owners and resources | Which connected sources and exposure checks are in the proposed edition? | You need to trace agent-to-resource relationships |
| Oasis SecurityVendor product page | NHI lifecycle governance | Provisioning, monitoring, rotation, validation and decommissioning workflows | Which issuers support rotation, and what approvals are required? | You need identity lifecycle automation |
| Entro SecurityVendor product page | NHI, secret and AI agent governance | Secret discovery, identity inventory, posture review, rotation and response | Which sources and credential types support live validity checks? | You need NHI inventory with lifecycle controls |
| Clutch SecurityVendor product page | NHI, AI agent and secret security | Inventory, ownership and permission mapping, lifecycle controls and detection | Which code, SaaS and endpoint sources can you connect? | You need agent identity and secret context together |
| GitGuardianVendor product page | Secret detection and remediation | Public and private repository monitoring, connected SaaS sources and developer workflow scanning | Compare validity, access context and connector coverage on your own sources | You need developer workflow scanning and public monitoring |
Summarized from each vendor’s public product page on October 4, 2026. Trial questions and suggested use cases are Cremit’s interpretation. This is not a feature test or a contract. Check the linked sources for current scope.
