How to choose

Where does the tool need to run?

Start with deployment and platform details. The listed platform labels include web, Linux, self-hosted, API, Windows, and macOS.

If you need to run software on your own systems, check for a self-hosted option. If it must connect through an API, confirm that support before comparing other features.

How can I compare the cost?

Check whether a tool has a free plan, a free trial, or paid pricing. Some listed pricing is available only by request, while other entries show a starting price.

A trial and a free plan are different offers. Review the pricing note for the terms shown, then compare paid costs where they are available.

How much log data can it handle?

Compare the log ingestion limit and data retention details. Ingestion limits indicate how much log data a tool can take in; retention tells you how long it keeps that data.

Use these fields to check whether the listed limits and retention terms fit your needs.

Which investigation features should I look for?

Compare UEBA, anomaly detection, threat intelligence, and case management. UEBA means analyzing user and system behavior; anomaly detection looks for activity that differs from expected patterns.

Threat intelligence relates to information about threats, while case management helps organize investigations. Check which of these capabilities matter for your work.
