Intel to detection weight 20%
Mars Security is stronger
Cotool 4 / 5Mars Security 5 / 5
Cotool: Agents gather intelligence from the web, check each item for relevance to your environment and propose detections; no speed figure is stated.
Mars Security: The vendor states intel to detection in minutes; each rule is backtested on 30 days of the customer's own data before it goes live, from advisories such as CISA, Mandiant, Unit 42 and Microsoft Threat Intelligence.
Continuous hunting weight 20%
Mars Security is stronger
Cotool 4 / 5Mars Security 5 / 5
Cotool: Hunt agents work from intelligence as it appears, and chat investigations can be turned into always-on agents.
Mars Security: Converts intelligence into behavioral hunts and runs them continuously; hypothesis playbooks were introduced in September 2026.
ATT&CK coverage weight 8%
Cotool is stronger
Cotool 4 / 5Mars Security 2 / 5
Cotool: Maps the whole detection suite across sources onto ATT&CK to monitor coverage and surface gaps.
