How much does Cortex cost?
Cortex does not publish its prices. Pricing is quoted on request, so the figure depends on your seat count and requirements. We record this as a pricing-transparency signal rather than guessing a number. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.

What platforms does Cortex support?
We have confirmed browser-based access to Cortex. That is the extent of what we could verify from public sources, so it may well offer desktop or mobile clients we have not indexed.

Can Cortex be self-hosted?
We have only confirmed a cloud / SaaS deployment for Cortex, so it appears to be vendor-hosted. If a self-hosted option exists we have not found it documented publicly.

What security certifications does Cortex have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2 and ISO 27001 for Cortex. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Cortex not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Cortex, not the verdict.
| Signal | Score | Weight | Contribution | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Security posture | 65 | 0.06 | 4.1 | ✓ |
| Reliability | 50 | 0.06 | 3.2 | ✓ |
