DENIS and the tools you already have
These pages compare kinds of tools, not named products. Each one says what that kind of tool is good at, what DENIS does differently, where they work together and where DENIS is not a replacement. We do not describe other products’ claims that we cannot verify.
Comparisons
- DENIS and a SIEM: different jobsA SIEM collects and correlates logs. DENIS watches the network itself and sees the devices that produce no logs at all. They fit together more often than they compete.
- DENIS and endpoint protection (EDR)Endpoint protection looks inside a computer. DENIS looks at the network from the side, which is where the devices that cannot run an agent show up.
- DENIS and your firewall or UTMA firewall controls what crosses your perimeter. DENIS shows what happens inside it, including traffic between your own devices, and can ask your firewall to act.
- DENIS and a vulnerability scannerA vulnerability scanner probes systems for weaknesses. DENIS does not probe: it shows what is exposed and what changed, and brings scanner results into the same view.
- DENIS and a spreadsheet or CMDBA spreadsheet or a configuration database knows what someone remembered to write down. DENIS finds out what is actually on the network and keeps an editable asset register next to it.
- DENIS and other NDR and NAC platformsDENIS provides NDR-style detection and NAC-style response, together with network visibility and asset management, in one self-hosted program. It is not a full enterprise NDR or NAC platform. Here is what to expect from it, and what to ask any vendor.
