Managed detection has improved visibility and response but still needs broader integrations
The best features Huntress Managed EDR offers do not really include any other features outside what other providers are doing; it was more about integrating with other tools that we already had with them. I find it easy to use Huntress Managed EDR; we don't operate within Huntress Managed EDR portal for EDR but have it work on our Defender data and through SIEM, which means we use a different interface and a different kind of portal to manage it. My impression of Huntress Managed EDR's ability to detect persistent footholds on our endpoints is adequate. I have the threat containment feature turned on, but we haven't seen any usage of it yet. I make use of Huntress Managed EDR's ability to automatically remediate low-severity threats; this automatic remediation affects my workload and security by purely blocking people trying to install applications, thereby stopping people from creating a bigger attack surface. The availability of Huntress Managed EDR for all major operating systems does not affect my organization's cybersecurity strategy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Huntress helps us replace traditional antivirus solutions with an EDR. I like how easy it is to use and deploy. Support is good- they've responded quickly when I've had issues. I like it a lot so far. It reports valuable information and filters out things I don't need to know."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"I have nothing negative to say about my main use case or how my team interacts with Huntress Managed EDR because Huntress Managed EDR is superb."
"Huntress Managed EDR has positively impacted my organization by preventing malware and viruses from attacking our clients."
"The benefits of Huntress Managed EDR were seen almost immediately after deploying it."
"Huntress Managed EDR is a spectacular solution for the SMB space."
"Huntress Managed EDR is a very useful tool for protecting endpoints and responding to potential security threats, and it is easy to manage and helps me to improve my overall security."
"The automatic remediation feature of Huntress Managed EDR is very effective because at midnight, around 2:00 AM, if there is an alert while I am sleeping, I know my organization remains safe."
"Webroot pioneered integration of novel concepts in endpoint protection."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it is a low profile environment as far as overhead on the machines."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is easy to use, stable, flexible, and the performance is great."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"My advice about this product is that it is a very good solution and offers a stable and trusted software that runs smoothly and is easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"Ultimately, the clarity of their alerts is paramount for effective threat communication and could benefit from clearer remediation steps."
"Not every time, but sometimes when we click on the remediation, the auto-resolution of the alert, the screen gets stuck, and I need to contact support so they can confirm the remediation was applied, and they have to close the ticket."
"I think Huntress Managed EDR could be improved in a few areas."
"If Huntress Managed EDR's SIEM could be more user-friendly, that would improve the solution because currently, there are queries you need to know, and it requires you to follow a specific format; adding trigger alerts would also be a helpful addition."
"There is room for improvement in Huntress Managed EDR regarding a minor issue."
"Regarding Huntress Managed EDR, they could add more features when compared to another EDR platform, SentinelOne."
"I'd like it if Huntress could scan for software that's out of date or has open vulnerabilities. That would be useful for us. Scanning for vulnerable software would be helpful. Also, we've set it up to create a ticket in our ticketing system when there's an alert. It would be nice if closing that ticket would also close the Huntress alert. It doesn't do that right now, but they're working on adding that feature."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"Webroot used to be really good when they first came out, but now they've completely fallen behind, sadly."
"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."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"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 Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
"Huntress Managed EDR offers a fair pricing model."
"The cost-effectiveness of Huntress is much better compared to BlackPoint. Although Huntress does not offer all the finer details that BlackPoint does, it remains much more competitive in pricing."
"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."
"I believe Huntress offers competitive pricing overall."
"The tool’s price is very good. You just need to pay for the standard license. However, you need to pay the additional cost for Microsoft Defender."
"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."
"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."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"The pricing is high."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
