Experienced reduced alert fatigue with streamlined notifications
We use Blackpoint Cyber MDR for our higher-end clients who need a higher level of control over security I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real. This feature ensures that I am notified only…

Managed detection has stopped account takeovers and has strengthened our incident response playbooks
Their threat analytics and process insights are exceptional. When Huntress Managed ITDR finds malware, a virus, or a phishing email, their analytics have improved significantly over time. I remember when they were not very detailed, but now they provide comprehensive information down to the specific type of dependency affected on a host machine. They show us exactly where all the infected files are located on the computer, which makes cleanup straightforward and invaluable. I know they partner with Microsoft, and if you have Huntress Managed ITDR and Microsoft Defender, it is truly near real-time as stated. That is a very accurate claim.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the overall solution as a ten."
"Their SOC is phenomenal in not monitoring and responding and taking action."
"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"On my end, the most valuable feature of this solution is that I can install it and forget about it. After that, their SOC team takes over and they only call me when there's a problem."
"The solution also watches over Microsoft 365 and keeps a copy of logs."
"The solution is all encompassing and can incorporate email monitoring."
"In terms of pricing for Huntress Managed ITDR, it is very affordable from a K to 12 perspective, and considering the cost of a breach, having this peace of mind to proactively act in our environment is worth its weight in gold."
"Huntress Managed ITDR has helped me detect identity threats extremely effectively; Compromised accounts are managed extremely well because we often get sign-ins from unknown locations faster than a client is aware their account is compromised."
"The main takeaway is that the solution, not just this, the solution in general, the EDR as well, has allowed me to expand revenue, but more importantly, protect my clients in a way I have never been able to do before."
"I rate the overall solution as a ten out of ten."
"Huntress Managed ITDR is very good because I can make sure we're not getting false positives and a whole bunch of alerts that just become noise."
"The centralized management with the EDR and ITDR is beneficial."
"Implementing Huntress Managed ITDR has improved our business by allowing us to be more proactive with our security posture."
"Huntress Managed ITDR examines various nulls from the M365 tenants. If anything suspicious is identified, their SOC analysts can take a closer look and subsequently take action."
 

Cons

"The interface could be more intuitive. More transparency is needed in the interface as a lot of details are hidden behind the scenes, making them difficult or impossible to access."
"The feature we keep asking for is a vulnerability scan."
"The solution does not tie into other EDR products like CyberArk or CrowdStrike but that might be more useful."
"Some texts seem to report items as normal too quickly."
"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"The interface could be more intuitive."
"If we have a client that only has M365 Business Standard, all of the MFA details just show as unknown."
"If anything, it's created more work, but that's because we're now seeing things that we weren't seeing before."
"The product needs further maturity, with some improvements in the user interface."
"One area that has room for improvement with Huntress Managed ITDR is that there was a gap with detections inside of America."
"More in-depth reporting could be beneficial for the solution."
"In areas where Huntress Managed ITDR could improve, I would suggest exclusions and the ability to add whitelisting for file types or select files, making it more transparent."
"I see improvements to the HaloPSA integration as something that could be better; it would be good to see more information in the ticket raised."
"The product needs further maturity, with some improvements in the user interface."
