The SysReptor Alternative
Beyond Reporting.
The self-hosted pentest platform that runs the whole engagement, not just the report. AI is built in and runs on your hardware. No third-party LLM keys, no procurement workaround.

Three reasons to choose Neuron over SysReptor.
SysReptor is a reporting tool. Neuron is an engagement platform.
SysReptor calls itself a reporting tool, and the product matches the description: no scheduling, no asset or credential tracking, no client portal. Anything before or around the report is on you to wire together. Neuron runs the engagement end to end.
BYO LLM is a procurement problem. Neuron ships the AI.
SysReptor Pro routes its AI Agent through your OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, or Ollama endpoint. That means a vendor contract to negotiate, an API key to secure, and a data-handling decision to defend. Neuron's AI module ships the model and the inference together, on your hardware. No third-party AI key, no token bill, nothing leaves the network.
No AD graphing in SysReptor. Neuron makes it collaborative.
SysReptor has no equivalent. Neuron's Directory module graphs AD attack paths inside the engagement. Multiple testers collaborate on the same graph in real time, each engagement keeps its own isolated data, and findings tie directly to the path.
SysReptor brings AI by way of your LLM key. Neuron ships it.
SysReptor's AI Agent is a Pro feature that calls out to a large language model you provide. The supported endpoints span OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible service. You bring the credentials.
The AI Agent supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Ollama, and other OpenAI-compatible providers. Customers configure the provider, model, and API credentials.
That puts the procurement and the data-handling decision on your team. Either ship findings to a US-based LLM vendor, or stand up a self-hosted Ollama and accept the output-quality trade-off SysReptor's own docs flag.
Neuron's AI runs on your hardware. The whole model. Prompts, context, and output all stay inside your network.
Neuron's AI drafting a finding. Nothing about it leaves the network.
No LLM provider contract. No API key to secure. No data-handling exception to defend in front of a procurement team.
A reporting tool stops at the deliverable. An engagement platform runs the engagement.
SysReptor is a reporting tool. Everything before the report and everything after it happens somewhere else.
Everything around the report is on you. Engagement scheduling, asset and credential tracking, a client portal with audit trail, multi-library knowledge beyond findings: none of it ships. Pentest firms running multiple engagements end up stitching a project tracker, a password manager, and a file share around the reporting tool.
Neuron is the engagement management platform with the report as one part of a longer workflow. Scope, scheduling, testing, evidence, QA, delivery, and remediation handoff all live inside the same product.
Per-engagement AD graphs, collaborative in real time.
Active Directory is where most internal engagements actually live, and the standard tools for graphing attack paths were built for one tester at a time, against one database at a time. Switching engagements means clearing data and re-importing.
Neuron's Directory module runs the graph inside the engagement. Multiple testers collaborate on the same graph in real time. Each engagement keeps its own isolated data, so there is no clearing between projects and no risk of a query pulling from the wrong directory. Findings tie directly to the path.
SysReptor has no equivalent.
A flag is not a workflow. A calendar is not a Gantt.
SysReptor's October 2025 changelog added a retest status indicator to the findings list. It is a column on the table. There is no round model, no scope control, no per-finding outcome states beyond the flag, no attestor, no cosign, no audit trail of the retest itself.
Neuron treats each retest round as a first-class record under the same engagement, with its own dates, scope, and attestor. Per-finding outcomes capture the result explicitly: Resolved, Partially Resolved, Not Resolved, Risk Accepted, No Retest Performed. Peer cosign is gated by severity policy. Once a round moves to ready for approval, per-finding mutations freeze. Every state change writes a QA log entry with actor, timestamp, and prior state. Custom field and document section schemas are configured per assessment type, so a web app retest asks different questions than an Active Directory retest.
SysReptor has no engagement scheduling. Anything before or around the report is something your team coordinates elsewhere: a spreadsheet, a project tracker, a Slack thread.
Neuron's schedule is a Gantt the team runs from. Drag bars to reschedule, drop on a tester to reassign, switch between me, users, teams, by-client, and by-engagement perspectives without leaving the view. Capacity conflict detection surfaces overload day counts, peak concurrent counts, and a next-free window calculation. The Health Dashboard ranks twelve categories of risk before they hit kickoff. Retests appear as first-class allocatable scope on the Gantt alongside phases and assessments.
Frequently asked questions
The questions buyers ask us most when evaluating Neuron against SysReptor.
Can I migrate my data from SysReptor to Neuron?
Yes. We work directly with customers to migrate findings templates, project data, and report content from SysReptor. Reach out and we will walk through your specific export and the migration path during a demo.
SysReptor has an AI Agent. Isn't that the same as Neuron's AI?
No. SysReptor's AI Agent is a routing layer that calls out to a third-party LLM you bring. You pick the provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral) or self-host Ollama, you secure the API key, and you accept where the inference runs. Neuron's AI module is the model and the inference, both running on your hardware. There is no LLM provider to choose.
Does Neuron support the same scanner imports?
Neuron imports from Nmap, Nessus, Nexpose, Masscan, Shodan, and more. Burp Suite has a dedicated extension that sends request and response pairs from Burp directly into Neuron with a right-click. SysReptor handles the same scanners through its reptor CLI as a file import workflow.
What about reusable team knowledge like checklists, commands, and scan templates?
SysReptor has a shared findings template library. Neuron's Library is much broader: alongside findings, it includes Commands, Snippets, Service Checklists, Service Notes, Bookmarks, and preconfigured Scan Templates for tools like Nmap and Masscan. Testers reach for it during the engagement, not just at report time.
Is Neuron's on-prem deployment hard to set up?
No. Neuron ships as a single binary. Run it, and a guided init wizard walks you through license activation (online or fully air-gapped), database setup, admin user creation, and server config in one session. PostgreSQL is the only external dependency, and the wizard prints the exact commands to set it up.
SysReptor added retest indicators recently. Doesn't that count?
The October 2025 changelog added a retest status flag to the findings list. That's a column, not a workflow. Neuron's retests are round-based first-class records with per-finding outcomes (Resolved, Partially Resolved, Not Resolved, Risk Accepted, No Retest Performed), peer cosign gated by severity policy, round-locked audit integrity, per-assessment evidence schemas, a full QA log of every state change, and allocatable Gantt scope. SysReptor has no engagement scheduling at all; Neuron has a Gantt with drag-drop, five perspectives, and a Health Dashboard.
