Elastic Security
- +Fully self-hostable with no vendor lock-in on your own data
- +Unified SIEM, endpoint and threat hunting on one searchable platform
- +Very large integration library and an active open community
- −Requires genuine Elasticsearch operational expertise to run well at scale
- −Machine learning and several security features sit behind paid tiers
Best for Engineering-capable teams wanting an open platform they fully control
Watch out The licence may be free but the operational cost is not — staff for it honestly
nPro
- +Runs entirely on your own infrastructure with no cloud dependency and no SaaS option
- +Flat USD 4.50 per agent per month with no per-gigabyte ingestion charge at any tier
- +Bundles network monitoring with SIEM and XDR on one ClickHouse backend
- −Smaller integration ecosystem than any tier-one vendor in this table
- −Behavioural analytics still in development — Identity Sync is live, baselining is not
Best for Regulated organisations that must keep security telemetry inside their own perimeter
Watch out No SaaS option and no vendor-staffed SOC — you operate the platform yourself
Evaluate nPro yourself
Free for up to 99 agents, no time limit, no credit card. Deploys on your own infrastructure in minutes.
