| Features | EDR | MDR | XDR |
|---|---|---|---|

| Management | Requires internal teams | Managed by an external service provider | Mix of internal an automated management |
| Visibility | Limited to endpoint activities | Endpoint and network visibility | Holistic visibility across multiple layers and systems |
| Human Expertise | Requires in-house security expertise | Extenral experts provide threat analysis and response | Can involve human experts but focused on automation |
| Automation | Limited to endpoint level tasks | Relies on humand and some automation | High automation and orchestation across layers |
| Cost | Lower but requires in-house resources | Higher due to managed services | Medium to high for integrated multi-layer coverage |
| Alert Management | Can lead to alert overload from endpoints | Alerts filtered by service provider | Reduced alerts through correlation across multiple layers |
