Cybereason XDR
- +Malop attack-chain view is genuinely strong for investigation workflow
- +On-premises deployment has historically been available — unusual in this category
- +Behavioural detection performs well against fileless and living-off-the-land techniques
- −Smaller vendor with less analyst coverage than tier-one competitors
- −Limited partner and support presence across Southeast Asia
Best for Teams wanting strong investigation UX with an on-premises option
Watch out Confirm current on-premises feature parity — it has historically trailed the SaaS build
Wazuh
- +Genuinely free and open source with no licence cost at any scale
- +Mature rule engine, file integrity monitoring and configuration assessment
- +Fully self-hosted and air-gap capable with a large community rule base
- −The surrounding stack — indexer, dashboards, storage — is where the real cost lands
- −Operational burden falls entirely on your team unless a support contract is bought
Best for Teams with platform engineering capacity and a strong preference for open source
Watch out Budget for the indexing layer and the engineer who maintains it
