It struggles with scalability when dealing with high logs, multi-site, multi-tenant setups, and large volumes of endpoints.

The managed approach is particularly helpful in this regard because the security team does not have to spend a lot of time maintaining the underlying SIEM infrastructure.

Huntress Managed SIEM offers straightforward, cost-efficient pricing, charging per data source, enhancing budgeting and simplifying cost comparisons.
I believe most competitors charge by the data slightly differently compared to how this solution does, as it is per data source rather than data size in gigabytes.

I did not have to spend more than what I initially budgeted for.

Ansar Monideen - PeerSpot reviewer
CISO at Eskan Bank
Provides almost all the SIEM features offered by the leaders at a low cost
Gurucul's data enrichment could be improved. As a security professional, I want to consolidate all these log sources and data to the user, entity, or resource. More advancements are required, especially in enriching security data or attack response. I would like to see more improvements there. The documentation could also be better. Every user and resource has a timeline that lists all the events so we can analyze that particular system and what is happening. We would like to have an option where we can only list the confirmed security threat-related activities for a particular user rather than all activities. This way, we can see what kind of risk is reported for this user and be able to monitor them better.

Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Human-guided threat monitoring has delivered rapid, confident incident response and strong compliance
I believe Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved by increasing integrations with non-Microsoft solutions as this would broaden its appeal. A broader out-of-the-box solution for diverse environments including IoT, Mac OS, and Linux servers would be valuable. I would rate Huntress Managed SIEM an eight because a couple of things could be changed, such as having more integrations with non-Microsoft systems, improved customization on the dashboard, and enhanced reporting in the threat intelligence updates. Being unable to click on new niche variants of threats is another point I would mention, but overall an eight out of ten is a good score because I think it is a very well-priced solution for its capabilities and all the positives I have outlined. The eight rating is primarily influenced by those integration and customization points I mentioned, which are the main requests from customers.
