IONIX wins on

• Discovery of unknown assets and subsidiaries: 9 vs 7

  Its Connective Intelligence engine recursively maps internet-facing assets, including shadow IT, subsidiaries and third- and fourth-party assets in the digital supply chain.

• Attribution accuracy and false-positive handling: 8 vs 7

  Automatically attributes each asset to the relevant subsidiary or business owner; IONIX's claim of fewer false positives is its own and not verified here.

• Remediation and mitigation support: 9 vs 7

  Turns new CVEs into deployable WAF rules for virtual patching, and its Active Protection claims hijackable domains and cloud buckets on the customer's behalf.

• Integrations and platform reach: 7 vs 6

  Names Jira, ServiceNow, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Cortex XSOAR, Slack, Wiz and Prisma Cloud, and identifies WAFs from 50+ vendors; narrower than the platform suites.

• Time to value: 8 vs 7

  States "immediate time-to-value" with minimal resources; the inputs needed to start are not published on the pages reviewed.

Hadrian wins on

• Exploitability validation: 9 vs 8

  Agentic AI simulates attacks and, by Hadrian's account, proves exploitability within 15 minutes.

• Pricing transparency: 6 vs 2

  Publishes a price for NOVA agentic penetration tests (from 1,250 euros per test excluding VAT, bundles available); ATLAS is priced by total asset count on request.

Choose IONIX if

• Finding unknown assets, subsidiaries and acquired infrastructure is your main gap. IONIX scores 9 on discovery: Its Connective Intelligence engine recursively maps internet-facing assets, including shadow IT, subsidiaries and third- and fourth-party assets in the digital supply chain.
• You want help closing exposures, not only a longer list of them. IONIX scores 9 on remediation: Turns new CVEs into deployable WAF rules for virtual patching, and its Active Protection claims hijackable domains and cloud buckets on the customer's behalf.

Choose Hadrian if

• You want proof that an exposure is exploitable before it reaches a ticket. Hadrian scores 9 on exploitability validation: Agentic AI simulates attacks and, by Hadrian's account, proves exploitability within 15 minutes.
• You need every asset tied to the right entity and owner, with the evidence shown. Hadrian scores 7 on attribution: Uses machine learning trained by ethical hackers to confirm asset ownership.
