Corelight Open NDR vs LimaCharlie

Corelight Open NDR turns network and cloud traffic into evidence for security operations. Its detection combines machine learning, behavioral analytics, curated signatures and threat intelligence, with real-time detection and anomaly explanations. Automated triage and integrated response workflows provide context for containing threats. The platform brings network security monitoring, intrusion detection, static file analysis and intelligent packet capture together. It handles network traffic, packets, flow logs, cloud network traffic, protocol logs and files. Deployment options include physical, software, virtual, cloud and flow-log sensors across on-premises, air-gapped, hybrid and multicloud environments. Cloud-native sensors support AWS, Azure and Google Cloud; software sensors support Linux-based systems. Physical and software sensors are built for environments at 100+ Gbps scale. Native integrations cover SIEM, XDR, SOAR and cloud platforms, including Splunk, CrowdStrike, Microsoft, Elastic and AWS. A Logs API and MCP server support programmatic access. Pricing is on request, with capacity-based licensing. Corelight serves large enterprises and government agencies in more than fifteen countries.

LimaCharlie is an API-first SecOps platform for telemetry, detection, and response. Its endpoint tools gather EDR telemetry, monitor process, network, file, and user activity, and support YARA scans and automated response. The endpoint agent supports Windows, Mac, Linux, Docker, ChromeOS, Chrome, and Edge. LimaCharlie can ingest structured JSON, Syslog, or CEF data, including on-premises sources and cloud-to-cloud feeds. Users can define detection criteria and response actions in YAML, then automate actions across endpoints, APIs, clouds, and multiple tenants. Rules, sensors, and configurations can also be defined in YAML or Terraform with version control, auditability, and rollback. Multi-tenancy is designed for MSSPs to separate customer environments while centrally managing rules, sensors, and automation. The Community tier is free and allows up to two endpoints. Standard lists EDR at $3 a month per endpoint. The pricing page lists SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA, and PCI-DSS under security and compliance.
