Frequently Asked Questions
How does Argus compare to Palantir for law enforcement use cases?
Argus provides similar investigation, entity resolution, and graph analysis capabilities with several key advantages: faster deployment (weeks vs months), lower cost (1/10th), unlimited API integrations without per-connector fees, and native air-gapped deployment support. The platform is designed to address common enterprise platform limitations.
Can Argus handle the same data volumes as enterprise platforms?
Yes. Argus uses a hybrid PostgreSQL + Neo4j architecture that handles enterprise-scale data. Our WebGL graph visualization renders 50,000+ entities at 60fps, and we support virtualized alert handling for 50k+ active alerts.
What about compliance and security certifications?
Argus implements SOC 2 Type II framework, is ready for ISO 27001 certification, aligns with CJIS Security Policy (all 19 policy areas), and uses FedRAMP-ready architecture. We use FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption (AES-256-GCM) and support TS/SCI accreditable air-gapped deployments.
How long does migration from an existing platform take?
Migration timelines vary based on data complexity, but typically range from 2-8 weeks. Argus provides open API access for data import and our team offers migration support. Data export in open formats is always available.
