Comparison Guide
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, Linkshadow presents their flagship product as a Unified Identity, Data & Network Analytics platform to solve the problem of “fragmented tools”, positioning themselves as a platform unification tool across domains rather than an exclusive NDR platform.
Vehere NDR delivers lossless full packet capture across E-W and N-S traffic, enabling full-session reconstruction and instant packet to PCAP pivots.
Linkshadow iNDR primarily relies on “event-based capture” collecting metadata and retaining only limited PCAPs in case of an alert. Full packet access requires third-party tools such as Endace, constraining investigation depth.
Vehere NDR supports advanced analytics, full session reconstruction and retrospective analysis as built-in capabilities, at no additional cost.
Linkshadow iNDR limits retrospective detection to metadata only, restricting long dwell APT investigations. Linkshadow requires separate storage infrastructure for retaining historical data and running analytics which translates to additional cost.
Vehere NDR provides native, on-demand file analysis, enabling safe detonation and inspection of suspicious files in a safe environment.
Linkshadow iNDR lacks native capability to execute files and requires integration with third-party applications for file analysis.
Vehere delivers built-in, native TLS decryption, enabling selective encrypted traffic inspection, while protecting- Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Linkshadow iNDR requires third party integration to enable SSL/TLS decryption. Additionally, publicly available documentation does not clearly outline PII handling controls or privacy governance guidelines following decryption.
Ingests full packets, selected PCAPs or flow data.
Ingests metadata and selectively captured PCAPs constraining full packet behavioral analysis.
Built-in PCAP viewer to analyze native and third-party PCAPs, with fast packet search and ability to pivot instantly from alerts to PCAPs.
Requires third-party solutions for full PCAP analysis, limiting threat hunting to metadata.
Throughput driven licensing model with no host restrictions and support for up to 500,000 hosts.
Throughput driven licensing model with a hard cap on number of IPs (hosts) tied to throughput:
Vehere’s AI amplifies human detection to expertise, detecting hidden threats, connecting signals, and accelerating response across massive, complex environments
Vehere NDR delivers full-packet visibility with built-in forensics and native on-demand file analysis. With behavioral analytics on encrypted traffic, PCAP analysis, native decryption, custom querying, it provides unmatched investigative depth. Configuration of PII masking and fully on-prem architecture offer 100% data control. Vehere NDR supports 5000+ protocols and 2mn+ IoCs. Has throughput based licensing model and no hard cap on hosts, with ability to support 500,000 hosts.
Linkshadow iNDR primarily relies on event-based metadata collection, capturing selective PCAPs, limiting forensics. Retrospective detection requires extended storage, which is budgeted separately. For PCAP analysis and decryption, iNDR depends on third-party integrations and the platform does not offer native sandbox execution or configurable PII masking. Additionally, throughput tiers impose fixed IP limits, restricting scalability.
Vehere follows a throughput-driven licensing model with no host-based restrictions, supporting up to 500,000 hosts across models.
LinkShadow also uses throughput-based licensing but ties each tier to fixed IP limits (for example, 2,000 hosts at 1 Gbps and 20,000 hosts at 10 Gbps). In distributed environments, these caps may require upgrades even when bandwidth usage remains within limits.
Vehere NDR analyzes decrypted traffic while masking PII information and provides built-in custom PII rule configuration to align with compliance requirements.
LinkShadow iNDR requires third-party integration for TLS decryption. Once decrypted, Linkshadow doesn’t explicitly state any PII safeguards.
Vehere NDR provides a built-in packet viewer that allows analysts to pivot directly from an alert to full packet-level details in a single click. With integrated NDR, IDS, forensics, and dynamic file analysis in one platform, security teams can investigate and validate threats without switching tools.
LinkShadow iNDR does not include a native packet viewer and relies on third-party tools for packet inspection. Limited forensics also limits its ability to identify long dwell threats.
