CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
SMBs and mid-market firms without dedicated security staff need NetWatcher's 24/7 managed monitoring because you get human analyst review of alerts, not just automated noise; that human layer is what separates this from self-service tools and matters when your team is understaffed. The platform covers five of NIST CSF 2.0's core functions including continuous monitoring and asset visibility, with specific compliance templates for HIPAA, FINRA, and NY DFS that save months of manual mapping. Skip this if you need endpoint detection and response; NetWatcher is network-only and won't catch what happens inside your assets once threats are past the perimeter.
MSPs managing detection and response for 10-500 client endpoints will find MaxxMDR's value in its guided remediation workflow and client-specific playbooks, which compress analyst handoff time and reduce escalation friction. The service covers continuous monitoring and incident analysis across NIST DE.CM and RS.AN, with 24/7 SOC triage eliminating the staffing burden that kills most MDR pilots at mid-market MSPs. Skip this if you need dark web monitoring or vulnerability scanning out of the box; those require the Elite tier, and your clients won't all justify the price bump.
