Tigera Calico Enterprise is a commercial microsegmentation solution by Tigera. Upwind Cloud Security Platform is a commercial cloud-native application protection platform solution by Upwind. Features, integrations, deployment and the company behind each one, side by side.
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Mid-market cloud-native teams building security into the full SDLC
The trade-off is maturity. Upwind is a newer entrant compared to Wiz, CrowdStrike, or Palo Alto Networks, and the integration ecosystem is thinner. The platform is sized for mid-market and enterprise, and it fits best in cloud-native organizations where the development and security teams are working closely together. If you need deep integrations with a broad set of third-party solutions on day one, validate the integration roadmap before signing a contract.
