A little further up market, Cynet provides strong security and ease of use for small businesses in need of high security but that still need ease of use and deployment. Trend Micro and Cisco provide good security and ease of use and deployment at low cost.

Others combining good security and value include SentinelOne, Check Point, Malwarebytes, Cisco and Sophos. Trend Micro manages to combine low pricing, strong security and happy users. You can’t go wrong with either EDR solution. SentinelOne has had some strong recent MITRE results, and users rank it highly in just about every category. Palo Alto Networks has posted consistently very high scores in the rigorous MITRE ATT&CK evaluations and gets high marks from users.

The data is clear enough in a few cases that we’re naming top overall EDR products, plus best values, best for small business, best for incident response, and some Linux options too. We’re adding a new aspect to this year’s rankings. Device control, protection and encryptionīest EDR Solutions for Small Business, Security, and Value.Next-gen antivirus, including malware, ransomware, exploits and fileless malware.Advanced threat intelligence and threat hunting.Sophisticated response, investigation and forensics tools.Machine-learning based behavioral analytics for unknown and zero-day threats.Some of the key features to look for include: The best EDR solutions need to be ready to meet increasingly sophisticated threats. Gartner analyst Jon Amato said at the Gartner Security and Risk Management summit last month that he sees EDR evolving over time to become part of broader XDR, UEM and MDR solutions. EDR remains an important foundation for enterprise security, along with next-gen firewalls (NGFWs) and SIEM, but now extended detection and response (XDR), unified endpoint management (UEM) and managed detection and response (MDR) are becoming part of the conversation, and most of these EDR vendors are competing in those markets too. It seems like it was just a couple of years ago that the big trend was that EDR and endpoint protection platforms (EPP) were increasingly coming together in a unified endpoint security offering.
