An open, vendor-neutral research project that compares the endpoint telemetry exposed by EDR products and agents like Sysmon across Windows, Linux, and macOS. It publishes a scored, evidence-backed comparison table plus a Python scoring script, maintained by Defendpoint Consulting.

Use cases

  • compare telemetry coverage of EDR products before buying one
  • find visibility gaps in my current EDR deployment
  • evaluate which endpoint events Sysmon vs commercial EDRs expose
  • validate EDR telemetry during a proof of concept
  • research endpoint event coverage for detection engineering
  • check which EDRs expose scheduled task creation or registry events

When to choose

  • you need an independent, evidence-backed comparison of EDR telemetry visibility
  • you are evaluating or validating EDR platforms across Windows, Linux, and macOS
  • you want a public reference to push vendors toward telemetry transparency
  • you are doing detection engineering or threat hunting research on endpoint event sources

When to avoid

  • you want a tool that ranks overall EDR protection, detection efficacy, or prevention quality
  • you need a runnable telemetry collection agent rather than a comparison dataset
  • you require a commercially licensed dataset for commercial use (CC BY-NC 4.0)
  • you need real-time monitoring or alerting from the project itself
