Rakshex vs Portkey

Portkey is the best LLM gateway and router on the market. If you need gateway features + security + compliance in one stack, Rakshex covers the gaps Portkey leaves open.

When to choose Portkey

  • You need sophisticated LLM routing and failover
  • Prompt versioning and A/B testing are critical
  • You want a managed gateway (not self-hosted)
  • Security is handled by another team/tool

When to choose Rakshex

  • You need a kill switch that stops traffic, not just alerts
  • Compliance (PCI DSS, SOC 2) is non-negotiable
  • You want to scan API collections for security gaps
  • You prefer self-hosted with full data sovereignty
  • You want one platform instead of gateway + security + compliance tools
