Human-guided threat monitoring has delivered rapid, confident incident response and strong compliance
I believe Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved by increasing integrations with non-Microsoft solutions as this would broaden its appeal. A broader out-of-the-box solution for diverse environments including IoT, Mac OS, and Linux servers would be valuable. I would rate Huntress Managed SIEM an eight because a couple of things could be changed, such as having more integrations with non-Microsoft systems, improved customization on the dashboard, and enhanced reporting in the threat intelligence updates. Being unable to click on new niche variants of threats is another point I would mention, but overall an eight out of ten is a good score because I think it is a very well-priced solution for its capabilities and all the positives I have outlined. The eight rating is primarily influenced by those integration and customization points I mentioned, which are the main requests from customers.

A highly scalable solution that is easy to manage and super easy to set up
We use Snare for picking up Windows logs, and we used to use it for SQL as well. We had used it for Linux once or twice. We're mainly using it for Windows and Windows flat files The most valuable feature of Snare is flexibility or the ability to filter all things you don't want and don't have…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
"Huntress Managed SIEM is designed to make powerful threat detection, response, and compliance support accessible without the complexities and costs of traditional SIEMs."
"Huntress Managed SIEM was able to detect zero-days and alert our team before they could be exploited."
"Huntress Managed SIEM has positively impacted my organization primarily by helping us help our customers achieve the compliance levels at which they are trying to achieve, and it also gives us additional information when we are reacting to security events that are presented from Huntress's SOC."
"Having real people reviewing the alerts compared to automated systems gives me confidence and peace of mind."
"During the year I have been using it, I have seen improvements such as no alert fatigue, which is beneficial, and obviously the automated threat detection."
"Huntress Managed SIEM's response time is far superior to any other vendor we have tested in terms of MDR."
"The customer support for Huntress Managed SIEM is top-notch."
"The best thing about Snare is its format and consistency."
"Snare has good agents, especially for Windows."
"The most valuable feature of Snare is flexibility or the ability to filter all things you don't want and don't have security value."
 

Cons

"The scalability for SMEs and MSPs is noteworthy for a few hundred endpoints, but it struggles with scalability when dealing with high logs, multi-site, multi-tenant setups, and large volumes of endpoints, which poses a challenge."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"Huntress Managed SIEM could do better in terms of improved UI and also in terms of making it more simple for users."
"In my opinion, there is room for improvement in Huntress Managed SIEM, particularly in integration with third-party solutions."
"Huntress Managed SIEM can be improved with more integrations; that would always be great."
"I would appreciate more features in the stack. I would like Huntress Managed SIEM to integrate with EDRs like SentinelOne to combine that level of intelligence and information into their stack so that they can leverage whatever protections the client has and gather that intelligence to help with the MDR side."
"The solution is now developing a SIEM-like feature on Snare Central Server, but it's not complete yet."
"Users will initially find it difficult to identify the event types and installation in Snare."
"Snare should modernize its GUI a little bit."
