Featured Reviews

Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Development Manager for Cybereason at Bechtle
Quick response and reliable restoration enhance security operations
If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service. I'm a bit hesitant, however, this would improve the product or the offering. Detection time already is very quick. The completeness of the offering was integrating more data. I am discussing with a customer who wishes to include identity data. Detecting early when someone tries to compromise your ID would be a nice feature.
Abhishek Saini - PeerSpot reviewer
Professional Services Engineer at Next7 IT
Managed detection has transformed incident response and now delivers faster, focused protection
Overall, my experience with Huntress Managed EDR has been very positive. If I were to suggest improvements, I would like to see more advanced customization and reporting capabilities, particularly for MSPs managing multiple clients. For example, additional dashboard customization, more granular alert filtering options, and enhanced executive level reporting would help teams present security insights more effectively to their clients. Deeper integrations with a broader range of third party security and IT management platforms could also streamline workflows and reduce the need to switch between multiple tools. Another area of improvement would be expanding automation options for common remediation tasks, allowing security teams to respond even more quickly to certain types of threats while maintaining appropriate control. These are more enhancements than shortcomings, as Huntress Managed EDR already provides strong threat detection, excellent SOC support, and an easy-to-manage platform that delivers significant value in day-to-day operations. A few additional enhancements would make the platform even stronger, especially for MSPs managing a large number of endpoints and clients. From a user interface perspective, I would like to see more customizable dashboards that allow engineers to tailor views based on the client's priorities, threat levels, or operational metrics. Another useful feature would be additional automation and authorization options for common response actions such as isolating devices, initiating remediation workflows, or integrating with ticketing systems and SIEM platforms. Overall, these would be valuable additions, but they do not take away from the core strength of Huntress Managed EDR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is endpoint management...The solution's support team is quite good at giving us feedback if there is an issue."
"Automated information on zero-day threats is provided without us needing to ask."
"The quick reaction and the ability to restore the state before within a short time are significant."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"After deploying Huntress Managed EDR, I saw the benefits immediately because as we were installing it, we started getting those alerts."
"I think it is honestly the best because of the price point and the value it's giving."
"Users usually note improvements in a matter of days. In others, it is immediately. It varies according to the environment."
"I evaluate Huntress Managed EDR as the best choice we have made for antivirus endpoint protection EDR solutions specifically for the SMB market."
"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"Huntress Managed EDR has positively impacted my organization, with improvements in security and the backing of a 24/7 SOC for a small team at Evolve IT being the reason why we went with the partnership with Huntress initially."
"Huntress Managed EDR requires very little from my end, as I get updates and dashboard alerts for changes and issues."
 

Cons

"The interface, particularly the dashboard we use for looking at alerts, could be improved."
"If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service."
"For every new client or every new case, my company has to spin up a new instance, because of which there is a new URL."
"We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports."
"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. A more transparent way for the support team at Huntress and our IT team to collaborate to make it faster and easier would be beneficial."
"Regarding improvements for Huntress Managed EDR, there was an example yesterday where the UI had unclear directions and it caused the agent itself to be removed from the endpoint device during a critical moment."
"There are some drawbacks in Huntress Managed EDR, particularly with the security awareness training aspect which is more manual than expected compared to something like KnowBe4."
"One thing they could improve is evolving from an EDR to an MDR, like Blackpoint. This transition would enable automatic remediation of anything that looks dangerous, including within Microsoft 365."
"Customer support for Huntress Managed EDR could have been better. Although there is a dedicated representative, after the initial onboarding conversation, there was not much follow-up until renewal came up."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"I think Huntress Managed EDR could be improved in a few areas."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, Cybereason Managed Detection & Response is effective for larger companies, but if you have a small company with less than 1,000 employees, then it gets expensive."
"The solution is cheap compared to other alternatives. It offers good value for money. For the whole solution, it's up to about five pounds per device per month. Considering what it does, I think that's very good value."
"It is simple. It is reasonable. They raised my prices this year. We never like price increases, but they continue to add value, so we just keep adding agents as we grow and as our clients grow."
"Huntress Managed EDR offers a fair pricing model."
"I believe Huntress offers competitive pricing overall."
"Huntress is an easy sell to clients because it does all the heavy lifting. Sometimes, they will buck a little at the price because they want a free antivirus or EDR. We tell them that we use Huntress on all our machines. That is our standard process for all the machines we roll out. When we give that advice, people are pretty willing to say okay."
"It is fair. They provide good value for the product that they deliver. I have had one price increase in the entire time I have used them. They added a bunch of features and then said that they have to increase our price a little bit. That is a fair way to handle it."
"While other options have emerged since Huntress' arrival, I believe it still offers the best value for the features and services it provides."
"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
