Verdictan vs. Galileo AI Evaluation Platform

You need measurable AI quality and reliable production controls.

Why Verdictan

Verdictan applies policy at the gateway and records request-level decision evidence for supported AI traffic. Run it in a self-hosted or air-gapped environment.

Key differences

Verdictan vs. Galileo AI Evaluation Platform: Key differences

A dashboard or alert can reveal risk without proving which control handled the request.

  1. Galileo organizes application activity into sessions

    Sessions contain traces, and traces contain spans for application steps.

  2. Experiments compare prompts, models and application changes

    Runs combine datasets and metrics and record outputs, latency, tokens and cost.

  3. Central controls evaluate agent workflows

    Agent Control evaluates LLM and tool inputs and outputs without requiring changes to agent code.

Common questions

What to ask before you decide

Can Galileo receive OpenTelemetry traces?

Yes. Galileo documents OpenTelemetry and OpenInference ingestion.

Does Galileo support evaluation experiments?

Yes. Experiments combine datasets, application variants and metrics.

Can Galileo alert on cost?

Yes. Cost is one documented alert threshold.

What replaced Galileo Protect?

Galileo recommends Agent Control for new deployments after deprecating Protect in June 2026.

Can Galileo run in an air-gapped environment?

Yes. Galileo documents customer-managed Kubernetes deployment for that model.

What should we test first?

Trace one controlled request, trigger an Agent Control rule and verify the gateway evidence.

How we researched this page

We checked the official sources below on Aug. 11, 2026. Product scope, plan access, beta status and support can change.

  • This review covers the listed public sources on Aug. 11, 2026.
  • Confirm the plan, region, version and contract terms before a production decision.
  • A verify status means the reviewed sources did not establish the point. It does not mean the feature is absent.
  • Confirm the Galileo plan, metric availability, deployment and retention terms.
  • Measure metric coverage and evaluation delay with representative production volume.
  • Test Agent Control and gateway policy independently before connecting their evidence.
