Dimension by dimension
| Dimension | NSFOCUS | Venustech |
|---|---|---|
| Staying power of the core product | NSFOCUS grew revenue 7.78% in FY2025 and kept slight growth into Q1 2026, showing its DDoS, WAF and SOC lineup still finds buyers. | Venustech's FY2025 revenue fell 29.5%, a sharp drop that points to real erosion in demand for its firewall and SOC gear. |
| Exposure to AI | NSFOCUS is rated likely to have its product absorbed by AI, since signature-based detection is a common target for automation. | Venustech is only partly exposed, meaning some of its government and telecom contracts may be harder for AI tools to replace outright. |
| How easily a giant copies them | NSFOCUS has limited defenses against being copied by a larger rival, with domestic data rules offering only partial cover. | Venustech has somewhat more room to defend its position, but both remain within reach of a larger player entering the same market. |
| Pressure from rivals | NSFOCUS faces competitive pressure from Qi Anxin, Antiy, and Venustech itself, all chasing the same China-only customers. | Venustech faces heavier direct pressure than NSFOCUS, with Sangfor and Qi-Anxin actively taking share as its own revenue shrinks. |
| Financial footing | NSFOCUS posted a net loss of 98.18 million yuan in Q1 2026 despite revenue holding roughly flat. | Venustech posted a net profit of 48.71 million yuan in Q1 2026, even after a rough FY2025. |
| Recent revenue direction | NSFOCUS revenue rose 7.78% in FY2025 and inched up 0.25% in Q1 2026, a slow but positive trend. | Venustech revenue fell 29.5% in FY2025 before rebounding 4.15% in Q1 2026, a sign of instability rather than steady growth. |
