Mala vs Arize AI

Audit vs Observability: Why Logs Aren't Legal Proof

The Core Difference

Arize tells you 'what happened' (debugging). Mala proves 'why it happened' and 'who approved it' (accountability). Arize logs are mutable and designed for developers; Mala's records are cryptographically sealed and designed for auditors.

Why Enterprise Teams Choose Mala

Observability tools like Arize are fantastic for debugging model drift and performance issues. But when an auditor asks 'Can you prove this agent followed the SR 11-7 policy?', a dashboard of logs isn't enough. Mala provides the missing 'Trust Layer'. We wrap your agent's reasoning in a tamper-evident seal. Use Arize to fix bugs; use Mala to stay out of jail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doesn't Arize have audit logs?

Arize tracks system events, which is great for debugging. Mala tracks *decision liability*. Our 'logs' are sealed certificate chains that can be handed to a regulator as proof. They serve different purposes.
