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

"Their SOC is phenomenal in not monitoring and responding and taking action."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the overall solution as a ten."
"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."
"The solution also watches over Microsoft 365 and keeps a copy of logs."
"The solution is all encompassing and can incorporate email monitoring."
"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 customer support is awesome, it's honestly one of the greatest customer support experiences I've had the pleasure to work with."
"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."
"The centralized management with the EDR and ITDR is beneficial."
"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."
"Regarding the effectiveness of the 24/7 human-led detection response for identity threats in Microsoft 365 environments with Huntress Managed ITDR, it's great."
"The maintenance for Huntress Managed ITDR requires no maintenance on my end; it is self-reliant in that once it is set up, it does most of the heavy lifting, and you really just have to review alerts as it monitors for any issues."
"I would definitely recommend Huntress Managed ITDR to other users because it is easy to use, and it does not provide too many false positives, which is very important, especially when you are dealing with a company the size that we are; we really need to focus on actionable alerts, and it is the best tool that we have found for protecting the Microsoft 365 environment."
"My favorite feature of Huntress Managed ITDR is the automatic alerting and the automatic remediation."
 

Cons

"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."
"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. 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 interface could be more intuitive."
"Some texts seem to report items as normal too quickly."
"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."
"If anything, it's created more work, but that's because we're now seeing things that we weren't seeing before."
"If we have a client that only has M365 Business Standard, all of the MFA details just show as unknown."
"If I had to say a dislike would be I wish there was a little bit more customization."
"While it is good to have those escalations, one of the downsides is that we receive many escalations, and I believe approximately seven out of ten are false positives."
"Huntress Managed ITDR could improve by cleaning up the dashboard interface."
"What I would like to see improved or maybe enhanced in Huntress Managed ITDR is that when you first set it up for a tenant, there are a number of false positives that pop up."
"One thing about how Huntress Managed ITDR can be improved is that there are times in which we do not necessarily need to be engaged, and isolation can be triggered automatically so we do not have to do it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
