Choosing an XDR solution involves considering several critical features: centralized data integration, automated threat detection, comprehensive visibility, threat intelligence integration, incident response capabilities, scalability, and user-friendly dashboards.
Centralized data integration
Automated threat detection
Comprehensive visibility
Threat intelligence integration
Incident response capabilities
Scalability
User-friendly dashboards
Centralized data integration allows for the collection and correlation of data from multiple security sources into a single platform, enhancing the accuracy of threat detection and response efficiency. Automated threat detection leverages machine learning to identify threats in real-time, minimizing the time to respond. Comprehensive visibility into networks, endpoints, and cloud environments is crucial for detecting and mitigating threats across all potential attack surfaces.
XDR solutions benefit from threat intelligence integration by providing up-to-date information on emerging threats, which enhances decision-making processes during incidents. Effective incident response capabilities are essential for swiftly managing detected threats and reducing impact. Scalability ensures the solution can grow alongside a business, maintaining performance without degradation. User-friendly dashboards offer clear insights and facilitate quick access to security data, enabling faster response and management.

The rapid support and confidence of an expert team that is always there monitoring for potential unusual activity in our environment with numerous predefined playbooks that can take automated actions or the ability to create our own for unique situations. Incident view to see from beginning to end of an event and the process that prevented it from becoming an issue in our environment. Ability to use honeypots across files, users, networks, and devices to capture an attacker in the act.

Adaptability and adoptability of new solutions, flexibility on cloud platforms, ease of use, and approach. The solution should also have a strong end-to-end incident response system.

Check for EDR in the beginning. If EDR does not provide you sufficient information, then XDR won't satisfy your needs. Keep that in mind that the term XDR is overly abused by vendors.

XDR solution should not be constrained by the design of the features that brigs. It should allow you to build any kind of detection rule or exclusion, based on every info that agents gather from endpoints. Also, enough tools provided for response. Kill, block, suspend, isolate etc.
From investment protection point of view, it would be better to go for a XDR solution that allows feeds from security products of multiple vendors. Many of the XDR solutions can correlate feeds from their own security products only.
Second most important thing would be how reputed and rich threat feeds are and form multiple sources.
Third would a top notch response team that can detect anomalies

The correlation of data over a variety of security layers as endpoints, email, servers, cloud workloads, and the general network. XDR must also strive to visualize the entire attack lifecycle.
Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is an advanced security solution offering more comprehensive threat detection and response by integrating multiple security tools into a unified platform.
XDR addresses the complexities of today’s security landscape by providing greater visibility across networks, endpoints, and cloud environments. Utilizing machine learning and automation, it enables security teams to detect, investigate, and respond to threats faster and more efficiently
