Reliable backups have protected our manufacturing data and now provide confident disaster recovery
Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office is used to take care of the data for our manufacturing company and its users. I work with CrowdStrike only for antivirus. We have antivirus products, but not as a main solution. The antiviruses we are using are from another vendor. For antiviruses, we are using Falcon CrowdStrike. My main experience is with CrowdStrike antivirus and Palo Alto firewall. These are the two things for security, and we are exploring other software solutions that will be beneficial for us. I track two levels of ransomware protection: one from Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office and one from CrowdStrike. I do not work with Cortex cloud by Palo Alto; I have the hardware on-premise at my location. I do not work with WildFire, Prisma Access, or Prisma SD-WAN, but I will be looking forward to it. This is the only firewall I am using, but very soon, I will be opting for another Palo Alto firewall of the same model that will be working on high availability. I am not knowledgeable about the CN-Series firewall; I can only talk about the one I have. We have acquired one particular brand, a company called Pernod Ricard, which manufactures products like Chivas Regal whisky and Beefeater. Endpoint Detection and Response is something we will explore after a certain period of time and we are looking for it very soon. I would rate this review an overall eight out of ten.

Centralized protection has simplified K-12 security management and reduced after-hours workload
One of the things I appreciate most about Huntress Managed EDR is the single pane of glass within the Huntress platform, which is excellent for managing both Macs and PCs. When we use Huntress Managed EDR, I get visibility of all of our assets and their protection, regardless of the platform, which makes it easier for me to manage security from one spot. Huntress Managed EDR has helped reduce the need for expensive security tools, as this platform replaced another solution that was more costly. With 24/7 monitoring, we don't need to staff after-hours support, which has significantly reduced costs for our medium-sized organization with about 180 staff. We do use the auto-remediation feature within Huntress Managed EDR to automatically remediate medium and high severity threats. It has not encountered something requiring active remediation yet, but it did quarantine a file and worked well during our test scenario. The fact that Huntress Managed EDR solution is fully managed by Huntress 24/7 significantly eases my workload when it comes to triaging and managing alerts, as it helps me sleep better at night knowing I don't need to monitor alerts around the clock. I can confidently wait to receive updates without worry about our environment's safety.

"Huntress Managed EDR has helped me reduce the need for expensive security tools or to hire expensive security analysts."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."

Cons

"I originally intended to use Acronis for cloud backup, however, the cloud backup had major problems."
"The configuration needs improvement."
"I originally intended to use Acronis for cloud backup, however, the cloud backup had major problems. After struggling with it for about two years, I switched to Carbonite and have not gone back."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office needs to improve their reporting part, and the support provided is sometimes inadequate, which causes issues for customers."
"I had a couple of false positives, but that’s it."
"I would like to see an easier way to whitelist sites or to monitor some of the reporting that Huntress Managed EDR does."
"I also would love for them to make their new SIEM tool reports much more robust. They are currently way too simplified, and we need to have something better to send to our compliance clients."
"Improvements for Huntress Managed EDR really come down to the user interface online, which is less polished than I would like."
"Huntress Managed EDR can be improved in that right now it can only support Windows Defender and not other third-party antivirus software."
"The reporting could be improved by providing a more simplified report that can be easily understood by clients. A way to present the data to the client so they understand its importance would be beneficial."
"Huntress has a cyber education platform, but it lacks all the languages we need. Since we support customers in different countries, expanding the language options for their training would be beneficial."
"There should be more engagement with the MSP group or their largest clients. They should have focus group discussions on what they can do to improve the product."
"Installing Huntress on a Mac presents a challenge for end users due to the operating system's security features, which require administrator privileges for installation."
