CrowdStrike

4.3

(72)

"CrowdStrike is by far the best."

"SentinelOne or Crowdstrike (despite the recent mishap) is the way to go."

"Best performing I'm going crowdstrike"

"Crowdstrike and defender are the only options. Nothing else is worth the brainpower. Crowdstrike also the clear leader."

"CrowdStrike. When I worked as the main Security Analyst for my old company, I demo’d almost every single EDR on your list and CrowdStrike was the best."

"CrowdStrike is something that I use and it's really good and it fits all OS."

"Crowdstrike was superior."

"We just switched from Defender to Crowdstrike. We have 4,500 endpoints licensed."

"I’m 100% believer crowdstrike is top tier if you can afford it."

"CrowdStrike is the best. Get it if it’s in your budget."

Microsoft

3.9

(31)

"Standardize your customers (who are less than 300 seats) on M365BP -> Defender for Business is included as a EDR. This is by far best bang for buck."

"If you have E5 licenses, this isn’t even a question. Defender all the way."

"Cheapest overall for 25 devices? Defender for endpoint as it comes with e5 licensing."

"Defender for endpoint P2 with Defender Anti Virus security baselines applied is equal to any other EDR."

"Microsoft Defender for Business or for endpoint."

"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint if you have relevant 365 licenses."

"Standardize on business premium? If so, defender for ending business with BlackPoint Cyber. If you're starting out and not able to standardize, Huntress all day no question."

"Defender for Endpoint if a mature windows environment"

"Otherwise Microsoft."

"My org uses Defender (<1000 users) and it does a great job IMO."

Huntress

4.5

(24)

"Huntress is amazing - the comments speak for themselves."

"We moved from S1 to Huntress and no complaints here love the product."

"Huntress is the way to go. Its setup is easy."

"Makes it probably one of the best EDR combinations available at an extremely affordable price."

"Definitely Huntress - they do a great job! They catch things that others don't, pricing is amazing."

"Huntress and ask for some NFR licenses."

"Huntress. Zero complaints. Including price"

"Huntress is EDR + SOC/remediation"

"Been using it since 2019 and love it, zero complaints"

"Huntress! No complaints, good product! Very MSP friendly and lots of communication :) "

SentinelOne

4.1

(26)

"SentinelOne I believe is the best EDR with crowdstrike right behind it very close."

"Pax8 > NFR > SentinalOne. Give it a spin and see how it works for you."

"We use SentinelOne which has been fantastic"

"S1 is the gold standard, and their MDR has been pretty awesome for me too."

"SentinelOne is great."

"My old shop implemented SentinelOne and they are blown away by it."

"Switched to SentinelOne 5 years ago and haven’t had a single virus since. Easy to manage and deploy."

"Been using Sentinel One for a while now, and it's been solid."

"Sent1 has the name recognition and is quality but be warned the learning curve is very steep."

"Sentinelone"

Datto

4.1

(16)

"Datto EDR is really easy to use and quickly spots tricky cyberthreats."

"Datto EDR, especially as part of Kaseya 365 Express. It's a great value including AV plus RMM and backup all for well under $3 per endpoint."

"Datto EDR or SentinelOne"

"Datto EDR is affordable for smaller organizations."

"Datto EDR is known for its reliability and ease of use; I like it because it offers excellent threat detection and is very responsive."

"Check out Datto EDR . It comes with Datto AV and Datto Ransomware protection."

"Datto EDR is known for its reliability and ease of use; I like it because it offers excellent threat detection and is very responsive."

"I found CSF too expensive and the advanced features too difficult to configure so we made the switch to Datto EDR and got better value."

"You didn't list DattoEDR which is also available with an AV. We've been using it for the last 6 months or so and does everything the other solutions you listed do for a lot less money."

"I personally prefer Datto EDR's rollback."

Sophos

3.9

(14)

"Been using Sophos for about 5 years now and I have to say it’s excellent."

"We’re trying out Sophos Intercept X right now. So far, so good."

"I've used Sophos XDR, it offers strong threat detection and response capabilities and is cost-effective for smaller deployments."

"From the list, I've used Sophos, which is pretty good."

"For 25 devices I would recommend Sophos XDR."

"Sophos and SentinelOne or Crowdstrike if there are deep pockets."

"I'm enjoying sophos. Only had it two weeks but seems responsive."

"Had good luck with Sophos."

"Sophos have great cloud EDR options."

"The advantage to Sophos is you can put an entire stack on Sophos."

Palo Alto Networks

3.9

(7)

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR. It is exceptional in performance and efficacy."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should probably be in your list, they outperform every other competitor fairly consistently in tests, even CrowdStrike."

"It's night and day compared to what Traps could do. They changed the name to bring it under the Cortex branding."

"On your list, Crowdstrike would be the best, but from my experience I recommend using Cortex XDR."

"Cortex XDR is really good for what it does especially if you run Palo Alto firewalls."

"May want to consider Palo Alto and Trellix (McAfee + Fireye = Trellix) as well."

"Cortex XDR is flipping terrible. Nothing but false positives, and the support team is arrogant and annoying."

Bitdefender

"With an experienced staff, Trellix’s new EDR product is fantastic."
