MDR Providers That Work With Splunk
13 MDR providers integrate with Splunk. 8 are technology-agnostic (they work with your existing Splunk deployment), while 5 are platform-native. SLA commitments range from ≤15 minutes to Not disclosed.
Splunk Integration Considerations
- •MDR providers that integrate with Splunk typically layer their detection and response on top of your existing Splunk deployment
- •Ask whether the provider manages your Splunk instance or just consumes its data — this significantly affects pricing and ownership
- •Verify the provider's detections complement (not duplicate) your existing Splunk correlation rules
- •Check data egress costs — some providers need to forward Splunk data to their own SIEM, doubling storage costs

Data portability and no vendor lock-in matter most
Binary Defense
Binary Defense stands out for its Open XDR approach that works with your existing stack rather than replacing it. The attacker's mindset-driven threat hunting, AI-powered managed deception, and strong data portability philosophy make it ideal for security-mature organizations that want deep technical partnership without vendor lock-in.
What they do
False positives are your biggest pain point
Bitdefender MDR
MITRE-validated detection quality (24-min MTTD, lowest FP rate) on a single-vendor GravityZone platform with 3 global SOCs, competitive per-endpoint pricing, and up to $1M breach warranty. Trade-off is vendor lock-in to GravityZone and less integration breadth vs technology-agnostic providers.
What they do
Alert-fatigued teams wanting agnostic MDR over their existing stack
Critical Start
Technology-agnostic MDR with TBR deterministic alert auto-resolution, 100+ integrations, OT/ICS support, two-person response validation, and MITRE Engenuity participation (2022). Trade-off is fully opaque pricing, enterprise focus, no breach warranty, and no Slack integration.
What they do
Cynet
Best fit for SMB/mid-market teams wanting an all-in-one security platform with transparent pricing ($7-10/endpoint/month) and MDR included. Trade-off is full platform lock-in (must replace existing EDR), small company scale, and absence from Gartner MQ/Forrester Wave.
What they do
Heavy Splunk or Sentinel investment to protect
Deepwatch
SIEM-centric, vendor-agnostic MDR with a patented DRS engine (98% FP reduction), dedicated Squad team per customer, and deep Splunk/Chronicle/Sentinel expertise. Best for enterprises with existing SIEM investments wanting a named team with 800+ log source support.
What they do
Need a contractual response-time SLA
eSentire
eSentire excels at active, hands-on response with contractual 15-minute containment guarantees. The multi-signal Atlas XDR platform and Elite Threat Hunters make it a strong choice for organizations that want their MDR provider to truly 'own the R' across endpoint, network, cloud, and identity.
What they do
Small deployment, as few as 25 endpoints
ESET
Strong SMB-focused MDR built on 30+ years of threat research, with fast 20-minute response times and accessible 25-device minimum. Best for organizations already in or willing to adopt the ESET ecosystem.
What they do
Keep your stack, add a transparent SOC layer
Expel
Strong transparency and integration breadth. Expel's API-first, vendor-agnostic approach with configurable auto-remediation and the Workbench platform makes it ideal for tech-savvy organizations that want full visibility into their MDR operations. Forrester Wave Leader with 5/5 in cloud detection, integrations, and metrics.
What they do
Complex multi-vendor estate, need orchestration
ReliaQuest
Strong fit for enterprises wanting to unify and automate across their existing multi-vendor security stack without ripping and replacing tools. The Agentic AI platform delivers near-instant detection and containment.
What they do
Already run SentinelOne, want managed layer
SentinelOne
Platform-native MDR for SentinelOne customers. Claimed 18-min MTTR (vendor-published, not independently validated), $1M breach warranty, 100% in-house analysts, and 5 consecutive years of 100% MITRE ATT&CK detection (platform test, not MDR service test). Gartner Customers' Choice 2025 for XDR. MDR support quality remains the main concern — PeerSpot reviewers still describe it as the 'biggest area of improvement' in 2025-2026.
What they do
Want IR and MDR from the same team, no handoff
Sygnia
The tightest MDR-to-IR integration available: same platform, same 8-person team handles both continuous monitoring and full incident response. No handoff, no separate retainer. Genuine OT/ICS coverage. Trade-offs: zero public reviews, no published detection metrics, opaque pricing, and recent CEO turnover.
What they do
Budget endpoint MDR, MSP-friendly, no assembly
ThreatDown
One of the most affordable MDR options with fully published pricing ($99/endpoint/year). Fast deployment, MSP-first channel approach, and ransomware rollback/three-level isolation are genuine differentiators. Best fit for SMBs and IT-constrained organizations wanting endpoint MDR without enterprise complexity or cost.
What they do
Nordic enterprise, want local SOC and IR-included MDR
Truesec
Premier Nordic MDR with the largest Scandinavian SOC and deep IR background (120,000+ hours, vendor-stated). Unique MDR Black tier covers IR costs for breaches on monitored devices. Strong fit for Nordic enterprises wanting local expertise. Limited US presence and zero independent reviews make it hard to evaluate for North American buyers.
