Frequently asked questions about MDR providers
How many MDR providers are there?+
The market has well over 100 vendors claiming to offer MDR. We profile 122 and publish only the ones with enough verified data to compare fairly. Gartner's Market Guide tracks a similar number. Most buyers shortlist 3-5 providers based on stack compatibility, response model and budget.
Read the buyer's guide ↗What should you look for in an MDR provider?+
Start with three questions: does the provider work with your existing tools or require its own stack? What actions can their SOC take without calling you at 3 AM? And what is the total cost including add-ons, overages and IR retainers? These three, stack compatibility, response authority and pricing transparency, tend to matter more than anything on a vendor datasheet.
Read the buyer's guide ↗How much does MDR cost?+
Most MDR is priced per-endpoint at $8-35/endpoint/month. For 200 endpoints, budget $20K-85K/year. For 1,000 endpoints, $96K-420K/year. Many providers are custom-quote only, and add-ons for cloud, identity and SaaS monitoring can double the base price.
See pricing comparison ↗What is the difference between MDR and MSSP?+
An MSSP monitors your tools and sends you alerts, but you still investigate and respond yourself. An MDR provider handles detection, investigation and response on your behalf, so the practical difference comes down to who does the work after a threat is found.
MDR vs MSSP explained ↗Do MDR providers replace your security team?+
MDR covers detection and initial response around the clock, but your team still owns security strategy, vulnerability management, compliance and executive communication during incidents. Think of it as extending your capacity rather than replacing headcount.
