Featured Reviews

Improving alert visibility and reporting has reduced workload and strengthened security posture
Huntress Managed EDR could be improved by providing more visibility into each alert that comes in and what action was taken on it. There have been times when an alert was received through Microsoft Defender indicating an account was accessed, when in reality it was blocked by a conditional access policy, yet when checking the Huntress portal, that event does not appear at all, lacking indication that it was raised and investigated as not a threat. The reporting in Huntress Managed EDR is fairly basic, as the only available report is effectively an executive summary. Although it contains useful information, other platforms have reporting engines that are much more robust and customizable, functionality that appears to be missing in Huntress.
Prathamesh Samant - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"After deploying Huntress Managed EDR, I saw the benefits immediately because as we were installing it, we started getting those alerts."
"I think it is honestly the best because of the price point and the value it's giving."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"Huntress Managed EDR is probably the easiest solution to use, both to deploy and to maintain, of all the product lines and vendor partnerships we have."
"Their SOC is super responsive and does a great job of catching incidences and being on top of any issues that arise."
"I immediately recognized the benefits of Huntress Managed EDR."
"Huntress is easy to use. It immediately improved visibility and understanding of our security posture."
"Using Huntress Managed EDR has helped reduce the need for expensive security tools or to hire expensive security analysts, which is very important as we can use the money that we saved on those in improving equipment."
"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."
"One downside of Huntress Managed EDR, compared to the CrowdStrike agent, is that it takes a longer time to push it out to all of our endpoints and ensure everything is configured correctly."
"Ultimately, the clarity of their alerts is paramount for effective threat communication and could benefit from clearer remediation steps."
"One issue is the managed antivirus. Huntress takes control of the antivirus built into Windows Defender, but it doesn't if, for some reason, Defender isn't working properly and doesn't attempt to fix it. We have to fix it with some scripts so that Defender reports correctly to Huntress. It would be nice if they took that action on our behalf. If they saw a problem with Defender, they should roll out a fix."
"There should be more engagement with the MSP group or their largest clients. They should have focus group discussions on what they can do to improve the product. A more transparent way for the support team at Huntress and our IT team to collaborate to make it faster and easier would be beneficial."
"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 integration with Autotask could be improved."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"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

"Huntress Managed EDR offers a fair pricing model."
"I believe Huntress offers competitive pricing overall."
"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."
"While other options have emerged since Huntress' arrival, I believe it still offers the best value for the features and services it provides."
"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
"Huntress is priced fairly for the services and value it provides."
"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 works well for an MSP."
