FAQs

What is Picari?

Picari is a buyer-led evaluation platform for security tools. Security teams describe the problem they need to solve, get a ranked shortlist that vendors can't pay to influence, and run a private evaluation on their own criteria.

Who is Picari for?

Anyone choosing a security tool for their team, especially the people who will use it every day: security engineers, incident responders, GRC and IT security.

Do I need to know which category I'm looking for?

No. Describe the problem in your own words, or start with a vendor you've heard of. Picari works out the category and shows you who fits.

Will vendors know I'm looking?

No. Vendors see nothing until you invite them into your evaluation.

How is this different from asking an AI tool?

Picari's ranking is code, not a model, so the same brief always gives the same shortlist, and every score is tied to evidence you can check.

Is Picari free?

Yes, Picari is free for security teams. Vendors pay a flat fee for each evaluation they join, and that never affects rankings.
