Managed detection has stopped account takeovers and has strengthened our incident response playbooks
Their threat analytics and process insights are exceptional. When Huntress Managed ITDR finds malware, a virus, or a phishing email, their analytics have improved significantly over time. I remember when they were not very detailed, but now they provide comprehensive information down to the specific type of dependency affected on a host machine. They show us exactly where all the infected files are located on the computer, which makes cleanup straightforward and invaluable. I know they partner with Microsoft, and if you have Huntress Managed ITDR and Microsoft Defender, it is truly near real-time as stated. That is a very accurate claim.

Positive feedback highlights lightweight design and compatibility while suggesting more AI integration
I think Silverfort is actually a really good product. Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools. It checks your Active Directory authentication and continues only if the check is okay, plus it works with older protocols such as NTLM, which is a significant advantage. The product is fairly new, but it's great; it's lightweight and agent-based, acting as a bridge between your Active Directory and any other application, with no impact on the applications. Silverfort is one of the few vendors that offers a free POC, and usually the customer ends up taking it, as they've lost very few deals in this manner. It's complementary to other tools you may have, whether they are TAM solutions such as Delinea or Xerox. Silverfort also has a lightweight adapter for domain controllers, and it finds gaps in security. Its capabilities are expanding regularly, with new features voted on every few months. For companies with large Active Directory implementations and zero staff, Silverfort provides instant results in identifying risks and blind spots. It also includes built-in virtual features, and while I don't know the exact pricing, it's not expensively priced, making it an attractive option.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One feature I appreciate the most about Huntress Managed ITDR is its integration with Microsoft Defender, because most users in our organization have Microsoft Business Premium licenses, so Defender for Endpoint comes along with Business Premium, meaning there is no extra cost."
"The customer support is awesome, it's honestly one of the greatest customer support experiences I've had the pleasure to work with."
"The maintenance for Huntress Managed ITDR requires no maintenance on my end; it is self-reliant in that once it is set up, it does most of the heavy lifting, and you really just have to review alerts as it monitors for any issues."
"Huntress Managed ITDR is very good because I can make sure we're not getting false positives and a whole bunch of alerts that just become noise."
"My advice for others looking into using Huntress Managed ITDR would be to definitely give a trial, try them out, see how your customers appreciate it, and I bet that they will love it."
"In terms of pricing for Huntress Managed ITDR, it is very affordable from a K to 12 perspective, and considering the cost of a breach, having this peace of mind to proactively act in our environment is worth its weight in gold."
"I would definitely recommend Huntress Managed ITDR to other users because it is easy to use, and it does not provide too many false positives, which is very important, especially when you are dealing with a company the size that we are; we really need to focus on actionable alerts, and it is the best tool that we have found for protecting the Microsoft 365 environment."
"Ultimately, we decided to fully transition everything over to Huntress because it consistently finds threats that nobody else is finding."
"Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools."
 

Cons

"If anything, it's created more work, but that's because we're now seeing things that we weren't seeing before."
"One challenge has been applying rules to staff only due to the option in the VPN rules where I can either deny all VPNs for the organization or do case-by-case exceptions, with no in-between."
"One area that has room for improvement with Huntress Managed ITDR is that there was a gap with detections inside of America."
"Huntress Managed ITDR could improve by cleaning up the dashboard interface."
"What I would like to see improved or maybe enhanced in Huntress Managed ITDR is that when you first set it up for a tenant, there are a number of false positives that pop up."
"If we have a client that only has M365 Business Standard, all of the MFA details just show as unknown."
"Setting up and managing exceptions in Huntress Managed ITDR does come with challenges, primarily because we often fail to document our own processes."
"In areas where Huntress Managed ITDR could improve, I would suggest exclusions and the ability to add whitelisting for file types or select files, making it more transparent."
"If Silverfort could integrate a gentle type of AI similar to Microsoft Copilot or enable workflow creation similar to Salesforce, it would further improve user navigation, even though the platform is already simple."
