Find out in this report how the two Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."From the perspective of Microsoft 365 XDR, the main benefit is a single, centralized dashboard offering the holistic visibility organizations crave."
"The ability to integrate and observe a more cohesive narrative across the products is crucial."
"The common and advanced security policies for threat hunting and blocking attacks are valuable."
"I like that it's stable. It's been stable for a long time, and Microsoft Defender has done a good job there."
"The comprehensiveness of Microsoft's threat detection is good."
"The advantage of Microsoft Defender XDR has over other XDRs in the market is that it's easy to use. You can quickly differentiate between alerts, incidents, devices, software, etc. It's easier to investigate an incident, and you have so many options. You can automate investigations and use playbooks. There's also the live response session, which is something you can't find in any other XDR."
"Microsoft Defender XDR provides strong identity protection with comprehensive insights into risky user behavior and potential indicators of compromise."
"The solution is well integrated with applications. It is easy to maintain and administer."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems. When I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"Wazuh is free and easy to use. It is also adjustable, and we can use it on the cloud and on-premises."

"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"The dashboard should be easier to use. There is also improvement needed in the reporting when it comes to exporting or scheduling reports."
"The support could be more knowledgable to improve their offering."
"Support is hit or miss. Microsoft wants you to buy premium support contracts. Though they call themselves professional support, it's almost like throwing questions into a black hole. You get an answer, but it's never helpful."
"The patching capability should be there. Patching is something that you cannot do even though you see the vulnerabilities present in your environment. For patching, you have to depend on another solution."
"The price should be adjustable by region."
"The support from Microsoft could improve. There are times I have to wait for a response from a qualified specialist."

"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"Its automation can be improved."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"The only challenge we faced with Wazuh was the lack of direct support."
"The implementation is very complex."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"Wazuh doesn't cover sources of events as well as Splunk. You can integrate Splunk with many sources of events, but it's a painful process to take care of some sources of events with Wazuh."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
