Featured Reviews

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

"After deploying Huntress Managed EDR, it took no time to start improving my organization's security."
"It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things."
"Huntress Managed EDR provides that human in the loop, which means someone is always watching your back, and that's the main difference."
"Huntress Managed EDR has positively impacted my organization because I can confidently tell clients that I am offering a best-in-class, state-of-the-art MDR solution incorporated within my offerings."
"Huntress Managed EDR requires very little from my end, as I get updates and dashboard alerts for changes and issues."
"Huntress has improved our security dramatically."
"The EDR tools are the most beneficial. We protect all our clients' endpoints through their security operation center, which runs through the EDR. We like that it's a small installation that doesn't take up much processing space, and we can quickly install it on our machines. We push out the agents automatically and get everybody up and running quickly."
"Huntress Managed EDR has positively impacted my organization by improving our endpoint visibility and incident response efficiency, allowing us to investigate suspicious activity faster, identify threats earlier, and reduce manual efforts during endpoint investigations."
"The most valuable aspect of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is that I have never gotten malware with it."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"Overall, the solution is stable."
"Speed"
"Customer Service: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well. Technical Support: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"Huntress Managed EDR can be improved in that right now it can only support Windows Defender and not other third-party antivirus software."
"Incident reporting could be a little bit cleaner."
"I also would love for them to make their new SIEM tool reports much more robust. They are currently way too simplified, and we need to have something better to send to our compliance clients."
"Improvements for Huntress Managed EDR really come down to the user interface online, which is less polished than I would like."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"We were attacked by CryptoLock. It didn't protect us in the way we needed to and an attack was able to get through their defenses."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive, in line with Huntress's offerings, and aligns well with our business model."
"I rate the product pricing six out of ten for the Malaysian market. However, I would rate it a three out of ten for the Australian, New Zealand, or Singapore markets."
"It is very fair. I started at $2.50 and now I am at $3.50. When I signed up, I thought it was too cheap. It now reflects the price. It is very fair. I do not think you can find anything better."
"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."
"Regarding the pricing for Huntress Managed EDR, I was amazed when I heard the price; I thought it was going to be way more than what it is based on the quality."
"I rate the product's price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive since it is a fairly priced product."
"Huntress is priced fairly for the services and value it provides."
"We haven't had any problems with Huntress' pricing. We're at 250 workstations, and we've grown considerably this year. They've been able to handle everything that we've thrown at them within that time frame. They're also reducing the price based on how many endpoints we add."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
