The two platforms take a fundamentally different approach to NDR. Corelight is limited to use cases that require the eventual forwarding of events and parsed data logs to a security team’s SIEM or data lake. You then rely on an open-source community for things like detections.
Vectra not only does that – but also enriches the underlying data. It is also delivered as an investigative workbench that includes out-of-box detections that highlight and prioritize attacker behaviors and campaigns. Perhaps just as importantly, Corelight has few integrations whereas Vectra natively integrates with parts of infrastructure like EDR, orchestration and network security products.
Corelight is a Zeek based solution for network behavior analysis and Vectra AI is a User Behavior based solution. If you are comparing these 2 systems you are comparing apples to oranges. You shouldn't be evaluating these products against each other as they address different use cases for your network. My guess is you are either looking for better network visibility and possibly network detection or you need to understand insider threats (User Behavior). If you need both then you need both tools.

Top Cases: Lateral movement detection, early detection of Ransomware, compromised Office 365 accounts, supply chain attacks, Zero day malware, C2 traffic, data exfiltration. It also uses AI to understand the behavior of Admin accounts and service accounts respectively. Vectra will outperform any SIEM when it comes to traffic analysis.

Corelight. Its based on bro. Most top SIEMS using bro as engine. Corelight owns it. they develop it. Easy to deploy, amazing threat hunting, Threat detection and response. The list is endless but TCO better with Corelight as well.
Vectra AI and Corelight are contenders in the network security solutions space. Vectra AI seems to have the upper hand due to its advanced AI-driven alert management capabilities. Features: Vectra AI offers capabilities like advanced alert management that consolidates alerts into manageable incidents, captures network metadata at scale for enhanced context, and provides functionalities like Cognito Recall and Cognito Detect for improved visibility. Corelight integrates with Zeek for robust...

I would recommend you look at Darktrace instead. Extrahop and the new kid on the block, Awake security are also recommended.
