Anto Baharian - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
LUIZ FERNANDO MARIANO SILVA - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface
I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"While threat hunting is undoubtedly the most valuable feature, the combination of IP scanning, foothold identification, and canary monitoring has also proven to be incredibly beneficial."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
"The features of Huntress that I found helpful are the one-click remediation piece and the ability for me to reach out to their customer service reps and get this under control when there is a threat."
"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"Huntress has improved our security dramatically."
"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 solution's most valuable feature is that it has a manned security operation center, not AI-driven."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress Managed EDR is its personalized approach."
"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."
"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."
"The product’s interface is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."
"Considering other products, SonicWall Capture Client has two differentiators."
"The solution serves as a very stable platform."
"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."
"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."
 

Cons

"It would be ideal if they could create some incentives to help more partners get clients to onboard it."
"The reporting could be improved by providing a more simplified report that can be easily understood by clients. A way to present the data to the client so they understand its importance would be beneficial."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
"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."
"One thing they could improve is evolving from an EDR to an MDR, like Blackpoint."
"Huntress has a cyber education platform, but it lacks all the languages we need."
"The integration with Autotask could be improved."
"The reporting could be improved by providing a more simplified report that can be easily understood by clients."
"XDR cannot be used unless MDR services are purchased with SonicWall."
"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."
"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."
"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."
"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."
"They should improve their user interface."
"The implementation is not easy."
"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Huntress is priced fairly for the services and value it provides."
"Huntress Managed EDR offers a fair pricing model."
"It works well for an MSP."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."
"The product is very expensive."
