Centralized protection has simplified K-12 security management and reduced after-hours workload
One of the things I appreciate most about Huntress Managed EDR is the single pane of glass within the Huntress platform, which is excellent for managing both Macs and PCs. When we use Huntress Managed EDR, I get visibility of all of our assets and their protection, regardless of the platform, which makes it easier for me to manage security from one spot. Huntress Managed EDR has helped reduce the need for expensive security tools, as this platform replaced another solution that was more costly. With 24/7 monitoring, we don't need to staff after-hours support, which has significantly reduced costs for our medium-sized organization with about 180 staff. We do use the auto-remediation feature within Huntress Managed EDR to automatically remediate medium and high severity threats. It has not encountered something requiring active remediation yet, but it did quarantine a file and worked well during our test scenario. The fact that Huntress Managed EDR solution is fully managed by Huntress 24/7 significantly eases my workload when it comes to triaging and managing alerts, as it helps me sleep better at night knowing I don't need to monitor alerts around the clock. I can confidently wait to receive updates without worry about our environment's safety.

We now benefit from regular account reviews and proactive event monitoring
It could improve the customer portal and possibly reduce prices slightly. It's very good because it includes user behavior analytics, detection rules, and thorough log investigation. They also have robust threat-hunting capabilities in the backend, which is crucial for me as a one-man band in the IT department. The managed service wraparound is essential, especially with pre-authorization for incident response

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."
"Huntress Managed EDR positively impacts our organization as it gives us a clear advantage in selling ourselves as a 24/7 SOC versus having to manually keep on-call staff."
"Huntress has improved our security dramatically."
"I immediately recognized the benefits of Huntress Managed EDR."
"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."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"Our security posture has improved. We previously lacked intrusion detection and response capabilities, but now we benefit from regular account reviews and proactive event monitoring. Their portal provides a straightforward way to report suspicious activity, keeping us well-informed about potential threats."
 

Cons

"Huntress Managed EDR can be improved in that right now it can only support Windows Defender and not other third-party antivirus software."
"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 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."
"One thing they could improve is evolving from an EDR to an MDR, like Blackpoint."
"We have been working on it, but their Rio agent has been having some issues trying to repair itself."
"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."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
"It could improve the customer portal and possibly reduce prices slightly. It's very good because it includes user behavior analytics, detection rules, and thorough log investigation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe Huntress Managed EDR is fairly priced. The value I get from it in terms of peace of mind justifies the expense. You can justify it as a business expense."
"Huntress is priced fairly for the services and value it provides."
"The pricing is competitive, in line with Huntress's offerings, and aligns well with our business model."
"The solution is cheap compared to other alternatives. It offers good value for money. For the whole solution, it's up to about five pounds per device per month. Considering what it does, I think that's very good value."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is fair."
"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."
