Vehere NDR vs ExtraHop Reveal(x)

Comparison Guide

Company Background and History

vehere is a security first company built from the ground-up with threat detection, investigation, and real-time response as its foundation. Security isn’t an add-on. Instead, it’s at the core of every product decision and capability. 

In contrast, ExtraHop originated as a network performance monitoring provider, with security layered in later through its Reveal(x) platform. While ExtraHop extends its network expertise into security, its architecture remains rooted in performance monitoring, making security an adaptation rather than a foundational element.

How Vehere NDR beats ExtraHop Reveal(x)

Complete Packet Visibility

Vehere delivers lossless full-packet capture across E-W and N-S traffic, enabling full-session reconstruction and deep forensic investigation without gaps. ExtraHop captures packets at sensors but stores only selective packets, uses a Wireshark-based PCAP analysis thereby limiting investigation depth.

Integrated IDS

Vehere includes a native IDS for high-fidelity, real-time detection using complete packet data. ExtraHop offers IDS functionality as an add-on paid feature, but its impact is reduced by selective packet retention, limiting detection context.

Built-In File Analysis and Automated IoCs

Vehere provides native on-demand file analysis, automated STIX/TAXII IoC ingestion, and full-session reconstruction for rapid, high-confidence threat validation. ExtraHop lacks built-in sandboxing, requires manual IoC updates, reducing analytic depth.

Superior Scalability Without Additional Cost

Vehere scales to 500,000 hosts without additional licensing or hardware costs, supporting enterprise and nationwide deployments. ExtraHop supports only 16,000 hosts, requiring additional appliances to scale, increasing operational costs.

High-Fidelity Alerting and Behavioral Analytics

Vehere enables natural-language querying with deep entity behavior analysis for precise anomaly detection. ExtraHop relies on rigid JSON queries and limited user profiling, reducing behavioral accuracy.

Privacy and Protocol Coverage

Vehere supports 5000+ protocols, delivers PII masking with custom rules, and keeps all data within the customer environment. ExtraHop supports ~90 protocols and processes wire data in its cloud/AWS, offering less control over data residency and privacy.

Traffic Analysis

ExtraHop Reveal(x)

Vehere delivers lossless full-packet capture with built-in IDS and forensics, providing complete threat visibility and advanced detection using signature, behavioral ML, and DNN models.
ExtraHop’s selective capture and add-on IDS, forensics, Wireshark based PCAP analysis that reduces investigative depth and raise overall solution cost.

ExtraHop Reveal(x)

Vehere delivers native on-demand file analysis, automated IoC ingestion, and full-session reconstruction scaling to monitoring over 500,000 hosts.
ExtraHop lacks sandboxing, relies on selective packet storage, and scales to only 16,000 hosts, reducing detection depth.

ExtraHop Reveal(x)

Vehere offers streamlined on-prem deployment with no hidden infrastructure costs, ensuring fast and predictable rollout.
ExtraHop supports on-prem, cloud, and hybrid models, but on-prem deployments are complex and costlier due to additional integrations and infrastructure requirements.

ExtraHop Reveal(x)

Vehere delivers behavioral analytics on encrypted traffic and offers flexible, instantly accessible custom querying.
ExtraHop relies on decryption that increases alert noise and provides limited query customization, reducing tuning efficiency.

ExtraHop Reveal(x)

Vehere delivers PII masking, 5000+ protocol and keeps all data fully on-prem for maximum control.
ExtraHop offers no PII masking, supports only 90+ protocols and routes wire data to its cloud, reducing privacy and control.
