They could improve by initiating calls for high-priority cases instead of just opening tickets.

They are quick to respond and help us explain why Huntress marked an identity in a certain way.
Cybersecurity Admin at a pharma/biotech company with 201-500 employees
They primarily handle ITDR communications through chat, they made an exception and provided a call for a critical situation to walk me through the remediation process.
Business Owner at Royal IT
They've been very responsive when we have had to use them.
Head of IT at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
CrowdStrike Falcon is highly scalable, seamlessly adapting to any enterprise size, praised for its flexibility and ease of expansion.
Sentiment score
8.3
Huntress Managed ITDR offers scalable, seamless integration with Microsoft tenants, featuring user-friendly multi-tenant dashboards and flexible licensing for enterprises.
It has adequate coverage and is easy to deploy.
Senior Principal Information Security Analyst at Veritas Technologies LLC
In terms of scalability, I find CrowdStrike to be stable, and I have not encountered any limitations with it.
Cyber Security Architects at VaporVM
There's no scalability limitation from CrowdStrike itself, as it just requires agent deployment.
Large account Manager at Softcell Technologies Limited
I've never had limitations on scaling or performance issues.
CTO at Accent Consulting
Huntress Managed ITDR is protecting about 120 users. In terms of the people that log into it, it's two or three IT admins, but we've got 120 licenses, so it's protecting 120 Microsoft accounts.
Head of IT at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Whether there are ten users or three hundred, it attaches to the Microsoft tenant, making it effortless to scale.
Business Owner at Royal IT

Sentiment score
8.1
Users praise CrowdStrike Falcon's stability, noting its lightweight, cloud-based design, despite occasional bugs and rare false positives.

Once it is deployed, it updates automatically and takes care of itself.
SOC Analyst L2 at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
 

Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon needs integration improvements, better usability, enhanced features, faster support, and lower pricing to meet user demands.
Huntress Managed ITDR needs UI maturity, better reporting, speed improvements, and enhanced integrations for a refined user experience.
Simplifying the querying process, such as using double quote queries or directly obtaining logs based on IP addresses or usernames, would be beneficial.
Security Analyst at NTT Ltd
Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options.
Senior Principal Information Security Analyst at Veritas Technologies LLC
Threat prevention should be their first priority.
Group Manager at HCLSoftware
There's a confusing aspect with the escalation options; applying conditions to a specific identity is not immediately visible and requires using a three-dot menu.
Business Owner at Royal IT
It's a very simple and easy-to-use interface in terms of recommendations and feedback.
Head of IT at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
I still see many issues indicating that devices are not compliant due to policy conflicts, and it has been almost a month trying to figure out how to make all devices compliant.
Cybersecurity Admin at a pharma/biotech company with 201-500 employees
 

Setup Cost

CrowdStrike Falcon's higher cost is justified by its strong security, flexible licensing, and ease of evaluation for enterprises.
Huntress Managed ITDR offers competitive pricing and value, with positive reviews for affordability and comprehensive security services.
It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it.
Senior Principal Information Security Analyst at Veritas Technologies LLC
The licensing cost and setup costs are affordable.
Computer Engineer at OIC, Alshirawi
The solution is a bit expensive.
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
Compared to other companies, Huntress keeps costs reasonable, offering 24/7 vigilance without price gouging.
Business Owner at Royal IT
I think it was two or three dollars a user a month.
Head of IT at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The licensing cost, again, is a good price point that allows me to add it on to clients and it becomes a no-brainer for them to add it because the price of the service makes sense.
Director at Cloud4 Technology Limited
 

Valuable Features

CrowdStrike Falcon excels in AI-driven threat detection and real-time monitoring, offering comprehensive protection with minimal performance impact.
Huntress Managed ITDR offers comprehensive security with endpoint protection, real-time monitoring, and customizable alerts, enhancing IT efficiency.
I can investigate by accessing the customer's host based on the RTR environment and utilize host search to know details for the past seven days, including logins, processes, file installations, malicious processes, and network connections.
Security Analyst at NTT Ltd
The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately.
Cyber Security Architects at VaporVM
Being an EDR solution, it helps us identify attacks in real-time.
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
It provides protection against M365 identity compromises, like admin account breaches.
Business Owner at Royal IT
The best features of the solution are the fact that there are real people behind it who watch the alerts and then escalate as required, and the fact that there is an immediate support team or SOC team behind it if we have any questions.
Head of IT at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The best feature is the lack of false positives; when we receive an alert from Huntress Managed ITDR, the majority of the time they are true positives that are actionable, unlike some other tools which generate a lot of noise.
Security Administrator at Charles IT

Featured Reviews

Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.
Jeremy Harlan - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC Analyst L2 at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
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.
