WHY PEOPLE LOOK FOR
A MALTEGO ALTERNATIVE

Credit limits
slow down active 

investigation teams mid-case
Setting up connectors
takes time that should 
go toward investigating
Frontline officers
can't use the tool without
OSINT expertise
No way to track
team workload or case progress

inside the platform
Cloud-only deployment
doesn't meet data sovereignty

or air-gap requirements
Reporting means
screenshots, manual exports,

and external tools

DEEP COMPARISON

Query limits 

and data coverage

Crimewall runs 100,000+ queries per month across 850+ sources and 1,500+ search methods — vs. 40,000 a year with credit limits.

Who can actually use it

Three operational modes support analysts, frontline officers, and managers within one platform — built for a department, not a single analyst.

AI and automation

AI capabilities include facial recognition, object detection, NLP, monitoring automation, and no-code scripting — built into the investigation, not bolted on.

Deployment and data sovereignty

Crimewall offers SaaS, self-hosted, and full on-premise deployment with ISO/IEC 27001 certification — on-premise is a core option, not an enterprise add-on.
