- Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Managed XSIAM
Best for: Large companies standardizing on Cortex XSIAM
Unit 42 Managed XSIAM is on the list for scope, because one service covers endpoints, cloud, network, identity and email with threat hunting and custom detection engineering. It fits mid-market and enterprise companies that are standardizing on Cortex XSIAM, since the service runs on that platform. Weigh that commitment before you sign, because leaving the service also means leaving the platform.

- Sophos MDR
Best for: Teams without a SOC that run mixed security products
Sophos MDR makes the list because it works on top of the products you already own, and incident response comes with no hourly caps. That suits companies of any size without their own SOC, especially if you would rather not replace your endpoint product. Ask which response mode you are buying, because the option you pick decides how much the analysts do on their own.
