OpenCTI vs OpenHouse: at a glance
What is OpenCTI?
OpenCTI lets analysts run enrichment connectors straight from the investigation graph.
OpenCTI 7.261106.0 added custom fields and templates to Cases and Incidents, and LTS lines received matching security backports the same week. 7.261109.0 adds a right-click option to run an enrichment connector from the investigation graph, prepares ingestion health reporting, exports and imports labels in config presets, and fixes a cache race that could stop a started playbook from running. 7.261109.3 is a bare backend release tag.
What is OpenHouse?
OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.
OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.

OpenCTI
5.0ANALYTICS
OpenCTI lets analysts run enrichment connectors straight from the investigation graph.
◆ Current state
OpenCTI 7.261106.0 added custom fields and templates to Cases and Incidents, and LTS lines received matching security backports the same week. 7.261109.0 adds a right-click option to run an enrichment connector from the investigation graph, prepares ingestion health reporting, exports and imports labels in config presets, and fixes a cache race that could stop a started playbook from running. 7.261109.3 is a bare backend release tag.
◆ Where it's heading
Filigran keeps a near-weekly cadence that mixes small analyst workflow additions with platform reliability: playbook triggers, cache consistency, stream compatibility and ingestion health. Two LTS branches are maintained alongside the main line.
◆ Prediction
Expect ingestion health to surface as a visible feature in an upcoming release, given this one calls the work 'preparation', plus further LTS backports.
OpenHouse
5.0ANALYTICS
OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.
◆ Current state
OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.
◆ Where it's heading
OpenHouse is adding the controls a shared lakehouse needs at scale: quotas, audit trails and retention that matches business calendars. Views are getting the same governance tables already had.
◆ Prediction
Expect more views milestones after audit (the release is labeled Views M1), and further operator controls for quotas and maintenance.
