Chose Proofpoint Threat Response Auto-Pull
I have never evaluated TRAP against another product.

If you’re looking for a solution that enables mapping to maturity along with a specific framework and timeline, then Optics definitely makes that easier. If you have a small team and not a lot of spare time, then Optics may force some prioritization work on your team.
