Here are the key differences between eSentire MDR and Expel MDR:
1
Multi-signal Visibility
Expel MDR signals are limited to endpoint and log. Their MDR solution has limited network, cloud, and identity threat visibility, leaving your attack surface exposed to network, cloud and identity-level threats.
At eSentire, we believe a true multi-signal approach is paramount to protecting your complete attack surface. We ingest high-fidelity data sources from endpoint, network, log, cloud, identity, and vulnerability data that enables complete attack surface visibility.

2
Response Capability
Expel has limited response capabilities. Although they provide access to their XDR Platform, your team is responsible for responding to threats on your own.
At eSentire, we provide complete response capabilities on your behalf by disrupting, isolating, and stopping threats across your full attack surface with a Mean Time to Contain of less than 15 minutes. We detect in seconds and contain in minutes, so your business is never disrupted.

Supported Integrations
With only ~130 supported technology integrations, Expel does not allow for seamless integration and threat investigation across your existing tech stack.
On the other hand, eSentire offers complete support of your tech investments with over 300 best-of-breed tech integrations and flexible BYOL offering. This allows our MDR service to integrate seamlessly with the existing tools and SaaS platforms in your environment for continuous monitoring across your attack surface. We are constantly expanding our multi-signal ingestion capabilities by adding new detections and runbooks for SaaS platforms and enterprise applications.

Services Outside of MDR
Expel only offers MDR services, lacking a broader range of cybersecurity solutions. Additional security services can help you gain a better understanding of your threat surface and develop a strategy for enhancing your security posture.
At eSentire, we support your end-to-end risk management with strategic services, threat disruption and incident response offerings through our Continuous Threat Exposure Management services and Digital Forensics and Incident Response services.
