Show HN: Tracecat – Open-source security alert automation / SOAR alternative

Great question! Unlike a pure infrastructure tool (MongoDB, Elastic, Terraform), UI/UX is a critical factor for adopting a SOAR.

Even if other companies fork / host Tracecat, we believe we can out iterate the incumbents in building the best SOAR experience. And I think we are just getting started with UI/UX for AI features in security products. It's definitely not a clippy chatbot...

My cofounder and I wrote every line of code for the frontend, design, data pipeline, docs. I don't think the incumbents can build as quickly and accurately (from customer feedback to implementation) as we can.

I wish you all the best but unfortunately I think you will find out that this business model doesn't work and if you give something for free most companies won't pay for it even if they have the money as it doesn't even worth to go through procurement if it is free. You will have to lock some features in an open core way or other way to paywall companies to pay-up.

Hope Im wrong but I think in the last few years all companies realised that FOSS is not a business model.
