Featured Reviews

AntoSebastin - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Consultant - APAC at Logon Software
A scalable SIEM solution for monitoring a user's activity in the file server
The most valuable features of the solution are its quick and simple features related to advanced permissions for files, allowing for what permission needs to be granted to the users when it comes to the monitoring folder in the solution. If someone who has been denied permission to use a particular folder tries to go to that folder, then the administrator gets a notification. In general, the administrator can easily gather and maintain records if a person who has been denied permission to a particular confidential folder tries to access it.
Chirag Thavidaboiyna - PeerSpot reviewer
MDR Analyst at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Centralized monitoring has reduced manual investigations and supports 24x7 threat response
Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved if there were more flexible dashboards or reporting options for different clients and security requirements, if it had more powerful filtering and correlation capabilities, just like Wazuh, and also broader native integrations with firewalls, cloud platforms, and third-party security tools. Alert customization is important. One area where I would like to see improvements is the reporting. More detailed, customizable reports which show security trends, incident timelines, and response metrics would be beneficial. The reason I chose nine out of ten is that the improvements I was discussing, which include dashboard customization and advanced filtering options, would make it easier for me to conduct investigations. The advanced log filtering and reporting flexibility also need some tuning. More control over these features would make daily investigations much easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Alerting upon file changes is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"Our customer acquires the complete report which is kept for future auditing purposes."
"It is a good and stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"FileAudit has helped our client to bring order to the day-to-day management of these folders, through the use of information triggers that inform department managers of both file obsolescence and changes made by employees."
"Huntress Managed SIEM's response time is far superior to any other vendor we have tested in terms of MDR."
"Having real people reviewing the alerts compared to automated systems gives me confidence and peace of mind."
"Instead of jumping between the FortiGate GUI and the Windows server, I can pivot in Huntress Managed SIEM and pull the firewall event and the correlated Windows failed logins in one timeline view."
"Overall, Huntress Managed SIEM has been a positive addition to our security operations workflow."
"Huntress Managed SIEM has positively impacted my organization primarily by helping us help our customers achieve the compliance levels at which they are trying to achieve, and it also gives us additional information when we are reacting to security events that are presented from Huntress's SOC."
"Huntress Managed SIEM brings SIEM to the SMB level so small companies can use an enterprise SIEM solution while filtering out a lot of noise, which is a great feature of the product."
"Huntress Managed SIEM has positively impacted our organization by improving our detection times, reducing them from about half an hour to 15 or 10 minutes, and it has saved us time by sending alerts directly to our phones without logging into the portal."
"Huntress Managed SIEM has positively impacted our organization by helping us be more secure and more safe."
 

Cons

"Whenever someone cuts and paste, it shows as "file is deleted"."
"The updates management and central management console could be improved."
"The DLP function, including installation of the agent on the workstation and controlling the DLP restrictions, are areas where the product lacks."
"Huntress has experienced occasional service disruptions, including signal processing delays and potential portal issues, but it is sufficient for the company."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"The main improvement area is deeper customization; it would be helpful to have more flexibility for creating custom detection rules, dashboards, and alert workflows based on specific organizational requirements."
"I would like to see broader third-party integration and easier troubleshooting for log sources."
"One area that could be improved in Huntress Managed SIEM is the reporting and customization."
"The search function in the log explorer has room for improvement, as I need to type something to search logs, and this feature could be significantly enhanced."
"The scalability for SMEs and MSPs is noteworthy for a few hundred endpoints, but it struggles with scalability when dealing with high logs, multi-site, multi-tenant setups, and large volumes of endpoints, which poses a challenge."
"Huntress Managed SIEM could do better in terms of improved UI and also in terms of making it more simple for users."
