eSentire provides a good service for smaller organizations or larger organizations that cannot or do not want an internal security operations team. If your organization is looking for an extremely thorough and fully customizable security program, you may want to consider doing it in-house or perhaps using eSentire to provide primarily off-hours support.

Mandiant MDR includes authorized hands on keyboard response , The defendor experts for Hunting services does not include managed response, only hunting detection and alerting. Unlike Mandiant ,\Microsoft will not offer detection and response based on third party product data. Nor does Microsoft have the capability to add Network detection & response for analyzing both clear and encrypted network traffic.
