CrewAI AMP vs Zenity

CrewAI AMP

Platform for deploying, monitoring, and scaling CrewAI crews and agents

Zenity AI Agent Security & Governance Platform

Security and governance platform for AI agents, aimed at security teams

Short answer

CrewAI AMP is CrewAI’s platform for deploying, monitoring, and scaling crews; Zenity is a security and governance platform for AI agents.⁠Source 1, Source 2 AMP runs crews and offers Crew Studio to build them, while Zenity says it catalogs agents in other platforms and blocks actions inline on Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry, and coding agents.⁠Source 1, Source 3, Source 4, Source 5, Source 6

Where each one sits

Six layers of running AI agents at a company, and what each product’s own public sources say it covers.

These aren’t the same kind of product

Where they overlap
Both keep track of agents and what they do: AMP stores agent definitions and execution traces, and Zenity says it catalogs agents and logs their messages and tool calls.⁠Source 4, Source 7, Source 8, Source 9
Where they differ
AMP runs CrewAI crews built in code or in Crew Studio.⁠Source 1 Zenity says it inventories agents in Copilot Studio and Agentforce.⁠Source 4 Building agents isn’t in Zenity’s public docs.
Running both
Zenity says any agent that emits OpenTelemetry or gen_ai spans can connect to it.⁠Source 10 Neither vendor publicly documents using the two together.

What each one is

CrewAI AMP

CrewAI AMP (Agent Management Platform) is CrewAI’s platform for deploying, monitoring, and scaling crews and agents in production, extending its open-source framework.⁠Source 1 Crews are built in code or in Crew Studio, an AI-assisted workspace with a visual workflow editor, then deployed to managed infrastructure.⁠Source 1, Source 3

Zenity AI Agent Security & Governance Platform

Zenity is a security and governance platform for AI agents, spanning SaaS, homegrown cloud platforms, and end-user devices.⁠Source 2 Zenity says AI Observability catalogs agents and Runtime Boundaries can check agent actions against your rules.⁠Source 4, Source 5 It is delivered as software as a service.⁠Source 2

The differences that matter

  1. Building and running agents

    CrewAI AMP

    Teams build crews in code or Crew Studio and deploy them to managed infrastructure, or on Enterprise to their own VPC.⁠Source 1, Source 18

    Zenity

    Zenity says it covers agents that run elsewhere, such as in Microsoft Copilot Studio, ChatGPT Enterprise, Salesforce Agentforce, or Cursor.⁠Source 4, Source 14

    AMP’s docs don’t describe deploying other frameworks’ agents, and building agents isn’t in Zenity’s public docs.

  2. Controlling what agents do

    CrewAI AMP

    On Enterprise, roles limit who can use or change a deployment.⁠Source 11, Source 18 On a deployed crew, the actions each app integration offers can be limited.⁠Source 20

    Zenity

    Runtime Boundaries can check agent actions in real time; Zenity says it can block them on Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry, and coding agents.⁠Source 5, Source 6

    Flows on AMP can also pause for a person’s review.⁠Source 21 Zenity says its posture policies can alert, block, or automatically remediate.⁠Source 22

  3. Agents calling other agents

    CrewAI AMP

    CrewAI agents can delegate tasks to remote A2A agents, and A2A server agents on AMP, in preview, accept authenticated requests.⁠Source 13, Source 23

    Zenity

    Zenity says its detection and response module shows requests and responses passed between agents and tracks agent handoffs.⁠Source 24

    A2A server agents on AMP, in preview, have publicly accessible agent cards for discovery.⁠Source 13 Whether Zenity supports A2A isn’t publicly documented.

For security teams

What a security review asks, answered from each vendor’s public documentation.

TopicCrewAI AMPZenity
Network exposureA deployed crew’s API is protected by a bearer token.⁠Source 25, Source 26 Custom MCP servers AMP connects to must be internet-reachable.⁠Source 12Delivered as SaaS, deployed on AWS per its AWS Marketplace listing.⁠Source 2 Network requirements aren’t in Zenity’s public docs.
IdentityEnterprise lists role-based access control and SSO with Microsoft Entra or Okta.⁠Source 18 Per-agent identity is not publicly documented.Zenity says Boundaries rules can use Okta attributes like role and status.⁠Source 5 Issuing agent identities isn’t in Zenity’s public docs.
Access changes and revocationOn Enterprise, a role permission allows deleting an automation.⁠Source 11, Source 18 Revoking a Platform API service account (beta) disables it immediately.⁠Source 27, Source 28Zenity says its kill switch immediately disables an agent’s tool and data access.⁠Source 5
Audit trailExecution traces, exportable to your own OpenTelemetry collector.⁠Source 9, Source 29 AMP’s docs don’t describe a platform-wide audit log of admin events.Zenity says it logs agent messages and tool calls, and can stream audit log events to Splunk or Microsoft Sentinel.⁠Source 4, Source 10
ComplianceCrewAI says it maintains a SOC 2 Type 2 certified security program.⁠Source 30Zenity says the company holds SOC 2 Type II and is ISO 27001 compliant; FedRAMP “In Process” announced March 2026.⁠Source 31, Source 32

Which to choose

Choose CrewAI AMP if

  • You build agents with CrewAI and want them deployed, monitored, and scaled in production on one platform.⁠Source 1, Source 17
  • You want business teams to build crews without writing code, in Crew Studio’s natural-language and visual editor.⁠Source 3, Source 15, Source 46
  • You need the platform in your own VPC or on your own infrastructure, which the Enterprise plan offers.⁠Source 18
  • You want human review points in flows: execution pauses, the assignee is emailed, and the flow waits for a response.⁠Source 21

Choose Zenity if

  • Your security team needs one inventory of agents across platforms such as Copilot Studio and Agentforce, which Zenity says it builds.⁠Source 4, Source 16
  • You want the checks Zenity says it runs on agent actions, blocking inline on Copilot Studio and coding agents.⁠Source 5, Source 6
  • You need the boundaries Zenity says it enforces on coding agents, such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor.⁠Source 14
  • Your security team wants what Zenity says it supports: audit log events in Splunk or Sentinel, findings in AWS Security Hub Extended.⁠Source 10, Source 44

Questions buyers ask

Can either one cover agents not built with CrewAI?

AMP deploys CrewAI Crews and Flows, and CrewAI agents can delegate to remote A2A agents.⁠Source 17, Source 23 AMP’s docs don’t describe deploying other frameworks’ agents. Zenity says it covers agents in Copilot Studio and Agentforce, and homegrown agents on platforms such as AWS Bedrock.⁠Source 4

Can I run either one in my own environment?

AMP’s Enterprise plan can be deployed on CrewAI’s cloud, your own VPC, or your own infrastructure.⁠Source 18 Zenity is delivered as SaaS, deployed on AWS per its AWS Marketplace listing.⁠Source 2 A self-hosted option isn’t in Zenity’s public docs; its product docs require a login.⁠Source 37

Do they support A2A and agents at other companies?

CrewAI agents can call remote A2A agents by URL, and A2A server agents on AMP, in preview, accept authenticated requests.⁠Source 13, Source 23 Whether Zenity supports A2A isn’t publicly documented. Neither vendor publicly documents adding another company’s agents to its catalog with access that company controls.

How is each one priced?

AMP’s Basic plan is free, with 50 workflow executions a month, and Enterprise is custom-priced.⁠Source 18 Zenity’s main AWS Marketplace listing has custom pricing.⁠Source 2 Its Security Hub Extended listing shows usage prices, such as $130 per resource a month for Observability, and a 30-day free trial.⁠Source 19
