Paragon serves your customers' apps.
Engini governs your own systems.
Paragon helps SaaS and AI product companies let their customers connect accounts. Engini helps an enterprise give its own agents governed access to its own systems of record.
Different buyers, different jobs
Paragon is integration infrastructure for B2B SaaS and AI products. ActionKit gives your agent one API and MCP server for 300+ actions in your customers' apps, with managed per-user auth, and pricing scales with Connected Users.
Engini is for the enterprise running the systems. IT connects SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, Workday or an on-prem database once, then gives each internal agent a toolset with approvals and an audit trail.
Where Paragon is strong
- Multi-tenant, per-end-user auth for customer-facing integrations
- ActionKit actions with custom objects and fields
- Managed Sync with a Permissions API for RAG
- Cloud, managed on-prem or self-hosted Helm deployment
- SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GDPR (per Paragon)
Where Engini is built to win
- Toolsets that decide which tools each agent can see
- Approvals that hold risky calls for a person
- An audit trail of every call, its arguments and the person it acted for
- Live schema for SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, Workday and Salesforce, custom fields included
- On-Prem Agent for systems behind the firewall, outbound only
- MCP, SDK, CLI, REST and a no-code canvas on one core
