Ossec vs McAfee Endpoint Protection: What are the differences?

Developers describe Ossec as "A Host-based Intrusion Detection System". It is a free, open-source host-based intrusion detection system. It performs log analysis, integrity checking, registry monitoring, rootkit detection, time-based alerting, and active response. On the other hand, McAfee Endpoint Protection is detailed as "Swiftly detect, prevent, and correct advanced threats". It provides essential security for many types of endpoints, from smart phones to printers. An endpoint protection platform (EPP) is an integrated suite of endpoint protection technologies—such as antivirus, data encryption, intrusion prevention, and data loss prevention—that detects and stops a variety of threats at the endpoint.

Ossec and McAfee Endpoint Protection can be categorized as "Security" tools.
