MaxPatrol SIEM vs Microsoft Defender for Business

MaxPatrol SIEM provides visibility into IT infrastructure and helps security teams detect incidents. It collects data actively and passively from more than 300 types of systems, and alerts operators to unavailable sources, unusual event distributions, or delays in event data. Teams can use 20 default dashboard widgets or create their own, and a visual rule constructor supports incident detection rules without requiring code or a rule language. The product maps network topology and updates the map as infrastructure changes. Its Behavioral Anomaly Detection module uses 49 machine-learning models to detect targeted attacks and previously unknown anomalies. Expertise packs bring detection rules, collection and incident-handling parameters, response recommendations, and reputation lists. The product supports custom detection rules, real-time alerting, authenticated scans, and the PDQL query language. Deployment options include self-hosted environments, with Linux distributions and some specified Windows Server versions supported for components. Displaying asset vulnerability information requires a separate MaxPatrol Vulnerability Management license. The vendor offers a pilot; pricing is available on request. Warranty support for valid licenses is available during the update access period.
