How to choose
Which telemetry should the software search?
Compare endpoint, cloud and network telemetry against the activity you need to investigate. A tool’s coverage in one area does not establish its coverage in another.
What hunting query language does it use?
Check the listed hunting query language and make sure it suits the people who will search for suspicious activity. The comparison includes this alongside telemetry and investigation cases.
How long can I search older activity?
Compare searchable retention with how far back an investigation may need to reach. The board includes searchable retention as a comparison point.
Can it organize investigations into cases?
Check whether investigation cases are part of the tool’s listed capabilities, and compare that with how your team needs to track an investigation.
What should I compare about price and access?
Compare free plans, trial availability and paid starting prices. For example, Elastic Security has a free plan and paid pricing from $0.09; Blumira lists a 30-day trial and pricing from $12 per month. Some listed products provide pricing on request.
Which platforms and access options do I need?
Check the platform details for web, Linux, Windows, macOS, self-hosted use and API access. Availability varies by product; Corelight Open NDR lists API, Linux, self-hosted and web platforms.
