The short version
What to know before you compare demos.
01
Mindflow connects tools through native connectors: 4,000+ native integrations and 200,000+ API operations, covering 100% of each vendor’s API. Tines connects tools through its HTTP Request action and pre-built templates (October 2026).
02
A missing connector is delivered by Mindflow within 7 business days, with every operation the vendor publishes. Flows can also call existing scripts and MCP servers, and reach on-prem systems through the Relay Agent.
03
Mindflow AI··Agents act on 200,000+ operations: from a chat in AI··Rooms, inside flows or in swarms where one agent delegates to others. Each agent uses only the operations it is allowed, on top of its scoped credentials, and sensitive actions wait for a human approval in Slack, Microsoft Teams or AI··Rooms.
04
One platform serves every team and every skill level: operators build in no-code, developers add Python or Node.js, and agents act on their own. Teams publish the flows and agents they maintain, so a security team can share its checks with every team that builds.
05
Case Rooms give Mindflow native case management on customizable Database blueprints, and each case can start flows and AI··Agents. Tines provides Cases, Records and Dashboards (October 2026).
06
Mindflow is a French company headquartered in Paris and backed by French and European investors. Each customer runs on a dedicated tenant in Europe by default (Paris or Frankfurt) or in the region you choose, or in its own AWS account as an Enterprise option. Mindflow is SOC 2 Type II audited and ISO 27001:2022 certified.

Key differences
Where Mindflow and Tines differ, question by question.
01
How do Mindflow and Tines connect to your tools?
Mindflow connects to your stack through 4,000+ native integrations and 200,000+ API operations, covering 100% of each vendor’s API, so every action is a ready step.
In Mindflow, every operation the vendor publishes is a native step with typed inputs, from an Okta lifecycle call to an AWS IAM change. When a tool is missing, Mindflow delivers the connector within 7 business days, with every operation included. Flows can also call your existing scripts and MCP servers, use HTTP, SSH, SFTP or SMTP steps, and reach on-prem systems through the Relay Agent. Tines connects mainly through its HTTP Request action and pre-built templates, and does not publish a catalog size (October 2026).
02
How do Mindflow and Tines keep AI agents under control?
Mindflow lets AI··Agents investigate and act on 200,000+ operations across your stack while humans decide: each agent uses only the operations it is allowed, and sensitive actions wait for an approval.
In Mindflow, an AI··Agent gets a mission, authorized tools and dedicated credentials. It runs from a chat in AI··Rooms, inside a flow next to deterministic steps, or in a swarm where a supervisor agent delegates to specialized agents. Permissions are set per operation, on top of the credentials the agent receives, and approvals on sensitive actions happen in Slack, Microsoft Teams or AI··Rooms. Every model call and tool call is logged with its inputs and outputs. The MCP Gateway extends the same policy to agents your teams run in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Tines documents approval of high-stakes AI actions from chat (January 2026).
03
How do Mindflow and Tines handle case management?
Mindflow includes native case management on customizable Database blueprints: in Case Rooms, analysts and AI··Agents work each case together, and each case can start flows and agents.
Case Rooms are built on AI··Rooms and Mindflow Databases: cases follow Database blueprints, customizable templates shaped to your business needs and fields, and related alerts are grouped into one case. From a case, analysts start flows and AI··Agents that collect context across the stack and act on 200,000+ operations, with containment waiting for analyst approval in the same room. Artifacts keep IOCs and other records next to the case. Flows open and update cases as they run, and can sync them with Jira, ServiceNow or TheHive. Tines provides case management through Cases, Records and Dashboards (October 2026).
04
Where do Mindflow and Tines host your data?
Mindflow, a French company headquartered in Paris and backed by French and European investors, runs each customer on a dedicated tenant in Europe by default (Paris or Frankfurt) or in the region you choose, or in your own AWS account as an Enterprise option.
Enterprise options add AWS PrivateLink and mutual TLS. The Relay Agent reaches systems behind your firewall through outbound tunnels, so no inbound port is opened. Access runs through SSO, RBAC and 2FA with per-operation permissions, and audit logs are kept 3 months on Business and 1 year on Enterprise, with export to your SIEM on Enterprise. Mindflow is SOC 2 Type II audited and ISO 27001:2022 certified. Tines is co-headquartered in Dublin and Boston and runs its cloud in seven AWS regions (August 2026); its Series C was led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives in February 2025.
05
How do Mindflow and Tines handle alert triage?
Mindflow runs a ready-to-use Alert Triage AI··Agent that cuts the alerts reaching analysts by 94% and takes each alert from ingestion to notification in under 5 minutes.
The Alert Triage AI··Agent works inside a flow, next to deterministic steps, with its own authorized tools and credentials. Related alerts are grouped into one case in Case Rooms, and any containment waits for an analyst approval in Slack, Microsoft Teams or AI··Rooms. Every model call and tool call is logged with inputs and outputs. At Doctolib, 100% of 100+ daily security alerts follow the same response, across 300+ SaaS tools, and the average incident communication delay fell by 90%, from 30 minutes to 3. Tines provides an AI Agent action that teams configure inside their stories (October 2026).
06
Which teams can build on Mindflow and Tines?
Mindflow serves every team and every skill level on one platform: SecOps, IT, Cloud and business operations build in no-code, in code or with AI··Agents, and share what they build.
Operators assemble native steps and shape data with 240+ low-code functions, AI··Build turns a plain-language description into a flow, and AI··QuickEdit drafts step inputs. Developers add Python or Node.js steps, or build from Claude Code, Codex or Cursor through the platform API and MCP server. Each team maintains its flows and agents in its own environments and publishes them for others to call: a security team can publish the checks other teams use to secure what they build. Tines describes Tines 3B as a platform for AI-built workflows, apps and agents (July 2026).
When to choose Tines
Tines is a no-code platform for security and IT automation, with native Cases, Records and Dashboards, pre-built templates for common tools, and Pages that put forms and simple apps in front of employees. It can also run self-hosted from Docker images (October 2026).
You must self-host the platform in your own data center.
You want to put forms and simple apps in front of employees, with Tines Pages.
Existing Tines templates already cover the tools in your stack.
When to choose Mindflow
Your stack mixes security, IT, cloud and business tools, and you need every API operation available as a native step.
You want AI··Agents that act on 200,000+ operations, each one allowed per agent, with approvals on sensitive actions and every call logged.
Several teams build, from no-code operators to developers, and share the flows and agents they maintain.
You want native case management on customizable Database blueprints, with flows and AI··Agents working each case.
You need a European vendor backed by European investors, and a dedicated tenant hosted in Europe by default or in your own AWS account.
Recommendations by team type
The best fit depends on the team, its stack and its constraints. Here is our recommendation for each, including where Tines fits better.
Teams that must self-host in their own data center
Best fit: Tines
Tines ships self-hosted Docker images. Mindflow runs on a dedicated tenant or in your own AWS account, not on servers you install.
Teams that want forms and simple apps in front of employees
Best fit: Tines
Tines Pages turn a story into a form or a simple app that employees open in a browser.
SecOps, IT, Cloud and business teams on a mixed stack
Best fit: Mindflow
Every vendor operation is a native step, so a flow reaches a niche EDR or IAM tool without an HTTP request to configure and maintain.
Lean teams without engineers to maintain integrations
Best fit: Mindflow
Mindflow builds and maintains connectors as vendor APIs change, and delivers a missing one within 7 business days.
Teams that need case management next to automation
Best fit: Mindflow
Case Rooms run on customizable Database blueprints, and each case can start flows and AI··Agents that act on 200,000+ operations. Tines has native Cases, Records and Dashboards.
Why some teams look beyond Tines
Tines holds 4.7/5 on G2 from 414 reviews and 4.8/5 on Gartner Peer Insights (October 2026). Public reviews cite three recurring reasons for looking at alternatives.
Building beyond templates
When no template exists, an integration is an HTTP request your team configures and maintains. Reviewers also mention a learning curve on advanced logic such as nested conditions.
Maintaining large stories
Some reviewers find very large stories harder to navigate and debug, and split them to keep them readable.
Vendor and region choice
Some European buyers want both the data and the vendor in Europe, or a region outside Tines’ list, such as Frankfurt.
Security, compliance and deployment
Tines security and deployment
Tines reports SOC 2 Type II, audited annually, and since April 2026 ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 42001. It offers multi-tenant cloud in seven AWS regions, dedicated tenants on Enterprise, self-hosted Docker images on Business and Enterprise, and Tunnel for outbound connections to private networks. FedRAMP is not claimed (October 2026).
Mindflow security and deployment
SOC 2 Type II audited and ISO 27001:2022 certified.

Mindflow vs Tines: FAQ
Straight answers to the questions buyers ask us most.
Is Mindflow a Tines alternative?
Yes. Mindflow automates SecOps, IT, Cloud and business operations with no-code flows and governed AI··Agents, 4,000+ native integrations covering 100% of each vendor’s API, native case management in Case Rooms and a dedicated tenant hosted in Europe by default. Every API operation is available as a ready step, and a missing connector is delivered within 7 business days.
Does Mindflow replace Tines?
Yes, if your teams automate across a mixed stack and want every vendor operation as a native step, connectors maintained for them, AI··Agents that act on 200,000+ operations under approval and case management on customizable Database blueprints. No, if you must self-host in your own data center: Tines ships self-hosted Docker images.
Does Mindflow have case management?
Yes. Case Rooms are Mindflow’s native case management, built on AI··Rooms and Databases. Cases follow Database blueprints, customizable templates shaped to your business needs, related alerts are grouped into one case, and analysts and AI··Agents work it together in an auditable room. From a case, analysts start flows and agents; flows also create and update cases and can sync them with Jira, ServiceNow or TheHive.
Is Mindflow SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified?
Yes. Mindflow is SOC 2 Type II audited, ISO 27001:2022 certified and GDPR compliant. Each customer runs on a dedicated tenant hosted in Europe by default, with SSO, RBAC, 2FA, per-operation permissions and audit logs kept 3 months on Business or 1 year on Enterprise, with SIEM export on Enterprise. Tines also reports SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 (October 2026).
Can Mindflow run in our own cloud or reach on-prem systems?
Yes. As an Enterprise option, Mindflow can be deployed in your own AWS account, with AWS PrivateLink and mutual TLS. Otherwise, each customer runs on a dedicated tenant in Europe by default (Paris or Frankfurt) or in the region you choose. The Relay Agent reaches on-prem systems through outbound tunnels, so nothing behind your firewall is exposed to inbound traffic.
Does Mindflow support MCP and my own LLM?
Yes. Mindflow is LLM-agnostic: use your own LLM keys, self-hosted models or Mindflow-hosted models, and your data never trains models. Flows can call your existing MCP servers, and the MCP Gateway sets each tool to Allowed, Needs approval or Blocked for agents in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, with every call logged.
How long does Mindflow take to add a missing integration?
Mindflow delivers a missing connector within 7 business days, and it covers every operation the vendor publishes. Meanwhile, flows can use HTTP, SSH, SFTP or SMTP steps, or call your existing scripts. In Tines, your team builds the call as an HTTP Request action.
Can I migrate from Tines to Mindflow?
Yes. Start with one Tines story that has a clear owner, rebuild it on native Mindflow steps with credentials scoped per environment, then send a copy of the same webhook or SIEM alert to both platforms and compare runs. Once results match, move the trigger and repeat. Mindflow solution engineers co-build the first flows with you.
How fast can we go live with Mindflow?
Mindflow puts your first flows in production in about two weeks: a discovery, a proof of value on your own stack, then production with environments, SSO and approvals. Solution engineers co-build the first flows. Teams build in no-code, describe a flow in plain language with AI··Build, or write Python or Node.js when they want.

Mindflow lets AI··Agents investigate and act on 200,000+ operations across your stack while humans decide: each agent uses only the operations it is allowed, and sensitive actions wait for an approval.
In Mindflow, an AI··Agent gets a mission, authorized tools and dedicated credentials. It runs from a chat in AI··Rooms, inside a flow next to deterministic steps, or in a swarm where a supervisor agent delegates to specialized agents. Permissions are set per operation, on top of the credentials the agent receives, and approvals on sensitive actions happen in Slack, Microsoft Teams or AI··Rooms. Every model call and tool call is logged with its inputs and outputs. The MCP Gateway extends the same policy to agents your teams run in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Tines documents approval of high-stakes AI actions from chat (January 2026).
03
How do Mindflow and Tines handle case management?
Mindflow includes native case management on customizable Database blueprints: in Case Rooms, analysts and AI··Agents work each case together, and each case can start flows and agents.
Case Rooms are built on AI··Rooms and Mindflow Databases: cases follow Database blueprints, customizable templates shaped to your business needs and fields, and related alerts are grouped into one case. From a case, analysts start flows and AI··Agents that collect context across the stack and act on 200,000+ operations, with containment waiting for analyst approval in the same room. Artifacts keep IOCs and other records next to the case. Flows open and update cases as they run, and can sync them with Jira, ServiceNow or TheHive. Tines provides case management through Cases, Records and Dashboards (October 2026).
04
Where do Mindflow and Tines host your data?
Mindflow, a French company headquartered in Paris and backed by French and European investors, runs each customer on a dedicated tenant in Europe by default (Paris or Frankfurt) or in the region you choose, or in your own AWS account as an Enterprise option.
Enterprise options add AWS PrivateLink and mutual TLS. The Relay Agent reaches systems behind your firewall through outbound tunnels, so no inbound port is opened. Access runs through SSO, RBAC and 2FA with per-operation permissions, and audit logs are kept 3 months on Business and 1 year on Enterprise, with export to your SIEM on Enterprise. Mindflow is SOC 2 Type II audited and ISO 27001:2022 certified. Tines is co-headquartered in Dublin and Boston and runs its cloud in seven AWS regions (August 2026); its Series C was led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives in February 2025.
05
How do Mindflow and Tines handle alert triage?
Mindflow runs a ready-to-use Alert Triage AI··Agent that cuts the alerts reaching analysts by 94% and takes each alert from ingestion to notification in under 5 minutes.
The Alert Triage AI··Agent works inside a flow, next to deterministic steps, with its own authorized tools and credentials. Related alerts are grouped into one case in Case Rooms, and any containment waits for an analyst approval in Slack, Microsoft Teams or AI··Rooms. Every model call and tool call is logged with inputs and outputs. At Doctolib, 100% of 100+ daily security alerts follow the same response, across 300+ SaaS tools, and the average incident communication delay fell by 90%, from 30 minutes to 3. Tines provides an AI Agent action that teams configure inside their stories (October 2026).
06
Which teams can build on Mindflow and Tines?
Mindflow serves every team and every skill level on one platform: SecOps, IT, Cloud and business operations build in no-code, in code or with AI··Agents, and share what they build.
Operators assemble native steps and shape data with 240+ low-code functions, AI··Build turns a plain-language description into a flow, and AI··QuickEdit drafts step inputs. Developers add Python or Node.js steps, or build from Claude Code, Codex or Cursor through the platform API and MCP server. Each team maintains its flows and agents in its own environments and publishes them for others to call: a security team can publish the checks other teams use to secure what they build. Tines describes Tines 3B as a platform for AI-built workflows, apps and agents (July 2026).

Recommendations by team type
The best fit depends on the team, its stack and its constraints. Here is our recommendation for each, including where Tines fits better.
Teams that must self-host in their own data center
Best fit: Tines
Tines ships self-hosted Docker images. Mindflow runs on a dedicated tenant or in your own AWS account, not on servers you install.
Teams that want forms and simple apps in front of employees
Best fit: Tines
Tines Pages turn a story into a form or a simple app that employees open in a browser.
SecOps, IT, Cloud and business teams on a mixed stack
Best fit: Mindflow
Every vendor operation is a native step, so a flow reaches a niche EDR or IAM tool without an HTTP request to configure and maintain.
Lean teams without engineers to maintain integrations
Best fit: Mindflow
Mindflow builds and maintains connectors as vendor APIs change, and delivers a missing one within 7 business days.
Teams that need case management next to automation
Best fit: Mindflow
Case Rooms run on customizable Database blueprints, and each case can start flows and AI··Agents that act on 200,000+ operations. Tines has native Cases, Records and Dashboards.
Why some teams look beyond Tines
Tines holds 4.7/5 on G2 from 414 reviews and 4.8/5 on Gartner Peer Insights (October 2026). Public reviews cite three recurring reasons for looking at alternatives.
Building beyond templates
When no template exists, an integration is an HTTP request your team configures and maintains. Reviewers also mention a learning curve on advanced logic such as nested conditions.
Maintaining large stories
Some reviewers find very large stories harder to navigate and debug, and split them to keep them readable.
Vendor and region choice
Some European buyers want both the data and the vendor in Europe, or a region outside Tines’ list, such as Frankfurt.
Security, compliance and deployment

Mindflow vs Tines: FAQ
Straight answers to the questions buyers ask us most.
Is Mindflow a Tines alternative?
Yes. Mindflow automates SecOps, IT, Cloud and business operations with no-code flows and governed AI··Agents, 4,000+ native integrations covering 100% of each vendor’s API, native case management in Case Rooms and a dedicated tenant hosted in Europe by default. Every API operation is available as a ready step, and a missing connector is delivered within 7 business days.
Does Mindflow replace Tines?
Yes, if your teams automate across a mixed stack and want every vendor operation as a native step, connectors maintained for them, AI··Agents that act on 200,000+ operations under approval and case management on customizable Database blueprints. No, if you must self-host in your own data center: Tines ships self-hosted Docker images.
Does Mindflow have case management?
Yes. Case Rooms are Mindflow’s native case management, built on AI··Rooms and Databases. Cases follow Database blueprints, customizable templates shaped to your business needs, related alerts are grouped into one case, and analysts and AI··Agents work it together in an auditable room. From a case, analysts start flows and agents; flows also create and update cases and can sync them with Jira, ServiceNow or TheHive.
Is Mindflow SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified?
Yes. Mindflow is SOC 2 Type II audited, ISO 27001:2022 certified and GDPR compliant. Each customer runs on a dedicated tenant hosted in Europe by default, with SSO, RBAC, 2FA, per-operation permissions and audit logs kept 3 months on Business or 1 year on Enterprise, with SIEM export on Enterprise. Tines also reports SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 (October 2026).
Can Mindflow run in our own cloud or reach on-prem systems?
Yes. As an Enterprise option, Mindflow can be deployed in your own AWS account, with AWS PrivateLink and mutual TLS. Otherwise, each customer runs on a dedicated tenant in Europe by default (Paris or Frankfurt) or in the region you choose. The Relay Agent reaches on-prem systems through outbound tunnels, so nothing behind your firewall is exposed to inbound traffic.
Does Mindflow support MCP and my own LLM?
Yes. Mindflow is LLM-agnostic: use your own LLM keys, self-hosted models or Mindflow-hosted models, and your data never trains models. Flows can call your existing MCP servers, and the MCP Gateway sets each tool to Allowed, Needs approval or Blocked for agents in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, with every call logged.
How long does Mindflow take to add a missing integration?
Mindflow delivers a missing connector within 7 business days, and it covers every operation the vendor publishes. Meanwhile, flows can use HTTP, SSH, SFTP or SMTP steps, or call your existing scripts. In Tines, your team builds the call as an HTTP Request action.
Can I migrate from Tines to Mindflow?
Yes. Start with one Tines story that has a clear owner, rebuild it on native Mindflow steps with credentials scoped per environment, then send a copy of the same webhook or SIEM alert to both platforms and compare runs. Once results match, move the trigger and repeat. Mindflow solution engineers co-build the first flows with you.
How fast can we go live with Mindflow?
Mindflow puts your first flows in production in about two weeks: a discovery, a proof of value on your own stack, then production with environments, SSO and approvals. Solution engineers co-build the first flows. Teams build in no-code, describe a flow in plain language with AI··Build, or write Python or Node.js when they want.

Key differences
Where Mindflow and Tines differ, question by question.
01
How do Mindflow and Tines connect to your tools?
Mindflow connects to your stack through 4,000+ native integrations and 200,000+ API operations, covering 100% of each vendor’s API, so every action is a ready step.
In Mindflow, every operation the vendor publishes is a native step with typed inputs, from an Okta lifecycle call to an AWS IAM change. When a tool is missing, Mindflow delivers the connector within 7 business days, with every operation included. Flows can also call your existing scripts and MCP servers, use HTTP, SSH, SFTP or SMTP steps, and reach on-prem systems through the Relay Agent. Tines connects mainly through its HTTP Request action and pre-built templates, and does not publish a catalog size (October 2026).
02
How do Mindflow and Tines keep AI agents under control?
Mindflow lets AI··Agents investigate and act on 200,000+ operations across your stack while humans decide: each agent uses only the operations it is allowed, and sensitive actions wait for an approval.
In Mindflow, an AI··Agent gets a mission, authorized tools and dedicated credentials. It runs from a chat in AI··Rooms, inside a flow next to deterministic steps, or in a swarm where a supervisor agent delegates to specialized agents. Permissions are set per operation, on top of the credentials the agent receives, and approvals on sensitive actions happen in Slack, Microsoft Teams or AI··Rooms. Every model call and tool call is logged with its inputs and outputs. The MCP Gateway extends the same policy to agents your teams run in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Tines documents approval of high-stakes AI actions from chat (January 2026).
03
How do Mindflow and Tines handle case management?
Mindflow includes native case management on customizable Database blueprints: in Case Rooms, analysts and AI··Agents work each case together, and each case can start flows and agents.
Case Rooms are built on AI··Rooms and Mindflow Databases: cases follow Database blueprints, customizable templates shaped to your business needs and fields, and related alerts are grouped into one case. From a case, analysts start flows and AI··Agents that collect context across the stack and act on 200,000+ operations, with containment waiting for analyst approval in the same room. Artifacts keep IOCs and other records next to the case. Flows open and update cases as they run, and can sync them with Jira, ServiceNow or TheHive.

Tines is co-headquartered in Dublin and Boston and runs its cloud in seven AWS regions (August 2026); its Series C was led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives in February 2025.
05
How do Mindflow and Tines handle alert triage?
Mindflow runs a ready-to-use Alert Triage AI··Agent that cuts the alerts reaching analysts by 94% and takes each alert from ingestion to notification in under 5 minutes.
The Alert Triage AI··Agent works inside a flow, next to deterministic steps, with its own authorized tools and credentials. Related alerts are grouped into one case in Case Rooms, and any containment waits for an analyst approval in Slack, Microsoft Teams or AI··Rooms. Every model call and tool call is logged with inputs and outputs. At Doctolib, 100% of 100+ daily security alerts follow the same response, across 300+ SaaS tools, and the average incident communication delay fell by 90%, from 30 minutes to 3. Tines provides an AI Agent action that teams configure inside their stories (October 2026).
06
Which teams can build on Mindflow and Tines?
Mindflow serves every team and every skill level on one platform: SecOps, IT, Cloud and business operations build in no-code, in code or with AI··Agents, and share what they build.
Operators assemble native steps and shape data with 240+ low-code functions, AI··Build turns a plain-language description into a flow, and AI··QuickEdit drafts step inputs.

Switching from Tines to Mindflow
A migration to Mindflow runs process by process: one Tines story is rebuilt on native steps, both platforms run side by side, and the trigger moves once results match.
01
Map your stories
List the Tines stories running in production, with their triggers, credentials and volumes. Pick one process with a clear owner and a measurable outcome.
02
Rebuild on native steps
Recreate the flow with Mindflow operations instead of HTTP requests, with credentials scoped per environment. Mindflow solution engineers co-build the first flows with you.
03
Run in parallel
Send a copy of the same webhook, SIEM alert or schedule to Mindflow in a test environment and compare outcomes run by run.
04
Switch and govern
Move the trigger, set approvals on sensitive actions and export audit logs to your SIEM. Then repeat with the next stories.
Mindflow vs Tines: FAQ
Straight answers to the questions buyers ask us most.
Is Mindflow a Tines alternative?
Yes. Mindflow automates SecOps, IT, Cloud and business operations with no-code flows and governed AI··Agents, 4,000+ native integrations covering 100% of each vendor’s API, native case management in Case Rooms and a dedicated tenant hosted in Europe by default. Every API operation is available as a ready step, and a missing connector is delivered within 7 business days.
Does Mindflow replace Tines?
Yes, if your teams automate across a mixed stack and want every vendor operation as a native step, connectors maintained for them, AI··Agents that act on 200,000+ operations under approval and case management on customizable Database blueprints. No, if you must self-host in your own data center: Tines ships self-hosted Docker images.
Does Mindflow have case management?
Yes. Case Rooms are Mindflow’s native case management, built on AI··Rooms and Databases. Cases follow Database blueprints, customizable templates shaped to your business needs, related alerts are grouped into one case, and analysts and AI··Agents work it together in an auditable room. From a case, analysts start flows and agents; flows also create and update cases and can sync them with Jira, ServiceNow or TheHive.
Is Mindflow SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified?
Yes. Mindflow is SOC 2 Type II audited, ISO 27001:2022 certified and GDPR compliant. Each customer runs on a dedicated tenant hosted in Europe by default, with SSO, RBAC, 2FA, per-operation permissions and audit logs kept 3 months on Business or 1 year on Enterprise, with SIEM export on Enterprise. Tines also reports SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 (October 2026).
Can Mindflow run in our own cloud or reach on-prem systems?
Yes. As an Enterprise option, Mindflow can be deployed in your own AWS account, with AWS PrivateLink and mutual TLS. Otherwise, each customer runs on a dedicated tenant in Europe by default (Paris or Frankfurt) or in the region you choose. The Relay Agent reaches on-prem systems through outbound tunnels, so nothing behind your firewall is exposed to inbound traffic.
Does Mindflow support MCP and my own LLM?
Yes. Mindflow is LLM-agnostic: use your own LLM keys, self-hosted models or Mindflow-hosted models, and your data never trains models. Flows can call your existing MCP servers, and the MCP Gateway sets each tool to Allowed, Needs approval or Blocked for agents in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, with every call logged.
How long does Mindflow take to add a missing integration?
Mindflow delivers a missing connector within 7 business days, and it covers every operation the vendor publishes. Meanwhile, flows can use HTTP, SSH, SFTP or SMTP steps, or call your existing scripts. In Tines, your team builds the call as an HTTP Request action.
Can I migrate from Tines to Mindflow?
Yes. Start with one Tines story that has a clear owner, rebuild it on native Mindflow steps with credentials scoped per environment, then send a copy of the same webhook or SIEM alert to both platforms and compare runs. Once results match, move the trigger and repeat. Mindflow solution engineers co-build the first flows with you.
How fast can we go live with Mindflow?
Mindflow puts your first flows in production in about two weeks: a discovery, a proof of value on your own stack, then production with environments, SSO and approvals. Solution engineers co-build the first flows. Teams build in no-code, describe a flow in plain language with AI··Build, or write Python or Node.js when they want.
