ESET Inspect
- +On-premises ESET PROTECT server available — genuine self-hosted control plane
- +Very low endpoint performance impact compared with most agents here
- +Strong false-positive control, which reduces analyst load meaningfully
- −Managed detection service is less mature than managed-first competitors
- −Advanced threat intelligence features require additional tiers
Best for SMB and mid-market wanting self-hosted EDR with a light agent footprint
Watch out If you need a vendor-run SOC, this is not the strongest option in the table
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
