How to choose the right EDR? The checklist of questions to ask:

HarfangLab vs. Palo Alto Networks

HarfangLab is compatible with all operating systems, and detection rules in standard YARA and Sigma formats are open and customizable.

No hidden costs — access all features and data in one unified console that brings together every product in your plan for efficient analysis and correlation.

The Palo Alto agent can be incompatible with older versions of Linux, and compatibility may be inconsistent depending on the OS version.

HarfangLab is compatible with all operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Palo Alto’s YARA and Sigma rules are closed and cannot be modified. Queries require proficiency in a proprietary language.  

HarfangLab allows customization of YARA and Sigma detection rules according to user needs and cybersecurity context.  

Additional costs are to be expected to take advantage of certain features or access certain data from the Palo Alto platform (e.g., 1TB of data costs several thousand euros per year). The platform is composed of different solutions with separate interfaces, which impacts the response time to threats.

HarfangLab provides access to all data and features included in each plan at no additional cost, via a single console.

Palo Alto requires advanced expertise. The fragmented console makes configuration between administration spaces tedious, and AI copilots are different depending on the interface.  

HarfangLab provides a single console to ease data analysis and correlation, with a UI and UX designed to make analysts’ work as smooth as possible. The AI copilot centralizes information searches across all products.
