Never misses anything and has an attractive price point and a simple interface

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. For instance, when one of my clients' Microsoft 365 account was breached, Blackpoint identified suspicious activity and disabled the account. It was in Dallas, and we are in California. Blackpoint knew something was wrong there, and they went in and disabled the account. Developing more automated remediation features would elevate them to an MDR level, but I understand that it might affect pricing. They are trying to keep it at a good price point because once they go to MDR, it is probably going to double the price. For now, I find the current features satisfactory, as they continue to add improvements. They have added security awareness training and then log collectors. They are adding pillars as they move along, and I assume they are going to have an option for MDR.

Effective integration and threat hunting capabilities boost operational ease, but interface improvements are needed

I would like to improve the dashboard in SentinelOne Singularity MDR, as it could be much better, along with the reporting structure. The granularity of policies and ease of policy management from the console could be made better, while my experience from a feature standpoint has been good overall. Regarding summary reports provided from SentinelOne Singularity MDR, I find the reporting structure could be much better in terms of granularity. Additionally, for C-suite executives, there can be more non-technical content that provides a bird's eye view of organizational risk posture, rather than just detailed technical analyses. This high-level perspective on the organization's risk would be highly beneficial at the management level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it has a manned security operation center, not AI-driven."

"Huntress is extremely well-written software. I used to be a developer, and I see how they've written it. It's excellent. I've never had an issue with it crashing a machine. It's small, tight code."

"The EDR is the most valuable feature."

"I rate Huntress Managed EDR a ten out of ten."

"Huntress Managed EDR is very easy to use. It's geared towards your Windows user who wants convenience. You just need an EXE file to get started. It's set up for convenience to make it easy for you to have security, as opposed to some of the complexities behind the scenes that you don't see."

"The most valuable aspect of Huntress Managed EDR is its personalized approach."

"After deployment, it takes some time to scan and process everything. Huntress has effectively flagged issues such as password files on desktops, which it identifies as low-level alerts. It also handles more significant threats effectively."

"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."

More Huntress Managed EDR pros

"The impact of the threat hunting capabilities on detecting known and emerging threats in real-time is notable, and with the AI, it helps for real-time threat hunting."

"The main benefits that clients receive from SentinelOne Singularity MDR, from an operational perspective, include ease of deployment, where the installation process across various operating systems and different hardware configurations goes smoothly with minimal impact on end users."

Cons

"We are still getting many false positives."

"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."

"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."

"Installing Huntress on a Mac presents a challenge for end users due to the operating system's security features, which require administrator privileges for installation."

"The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications."

"To enhance the platform, I suggest adding a feature to forward Huntress's recommended response directly to the client, ensuring their clear understanding of the gathered information."

"The existing features are perfect. However, I think they could add a more robust set of security features like dark web scanning, penetration testing, and risk assessment for clients. We would have one tool for everything. We wouldn't have to go to multiple vendors to pull something together. That would be more beneficial for us."

"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."

More Huntress Managed EDR cons

"I would like to improve the dashboard in SentinelOne Singularity MDR, as it could be much better, along with the reporting structure."

"The integration with Microsoft 365 for SentinelOne Singularity MDR isn't quite as effective as with Field Effect."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive, in line with Huntress's offerings, and aligns well with our business model."

"Huntress has a favourable pricing structure, and I appreciate the cost-effectiveness compared to previous solutions."

"The pricing model for Huntress is similar to competitors and is charged per endpoint."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
