Monitoring has become focused on critical logs and now helps us resolve attacks much faster
Pros and Cons
  • "If you want to secure your infrastructure and save a lot of time for your organization, you can use Huntress Managed SIEM."

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for Huntress Managed SIEM is to monitor our infrastructure.

    To monitor my events, one special thing compared to other SIEM tools is that it shows only important logs instead of displaying all logs. I do not need to see 1000 or 10,000 logs; I only need to see 10 logs that are very important.

    This is important for my team because it will save my time and help us catch issues faster.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Huntress Managed SIEM has positively impacted my organization by reducing employee costs and reducing the time required to manage logs.

    I can share that recently, I experienced a server attack which proved to be very helpful. We do not have to analyze all events; we can easily take the logs we need through the tool. Alerts will be triggered before the duration of the hack is complete.

    What is most valuable?

    In my opinion, the best feature Huntress Managed SIEM offers is the advanced filter AI. Instead of showing all logs, it shows only important logs, which is a very important capability.

    This feature makes my day easier because we do not have to take logs one by one, and we do not have to take unnecessary logs. We only have to take the important logs, and we can easily find the root cause through those important logs instead of taking all logs. Whether you see 10,000 logs or only 100 logs, identifying the important ones will be very valuable for you.

    What needs improvement?

    I did not find anything for improvement; Huntress Managed SIEM is a completely perfect and stable product.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Huntress Managed SIEM for the last three months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Huntress Managed SIEM is stable in my experience.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    In my experience, Huntress Managed SIEM's scalability is very good and stable.

    How are customer service and support?

    Training will be provided by the Huntress team, which is very easy and very collaborative. They will guide us through all aspects of the deployment. That has been a very best experience of my deployment.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I did not evaluate a different solution before Huntress Managed SIEM; I received that solution from management to use, and we started using it.

    How was the initial setup?

    The time it took to see actionable detections after deploying Huntress Managed SIEM saved my team much time. After deployment, it saved a lot of time for my team to manage and handle logs. That has been very perfect.

    What about the implementation team?

    On the same day of deployment, the implementation was very good. Training was provided by the Huntress team, which was very easy and very collaborative. They guided us through all aspects of the deployment.

    What was our ROI?

    I have seen a return on investment from using Huntress Managed SIEM because it saves a lot of time.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Before choosing Huntress Managed SIEM, we did not evaluate other options; we received approval for this tool only from management and started using Huntress Managed SIEM.

    What other advice do I have?

    I do have something else to add about how I use Huntress Managed SIEM in my workflow; we are taking the logs from all of our systems. It will help us to manage all our infrastructure.

    I am not using Huntress Managed SIEM's feature that requires no alert tuning; we are using it for taking the alerts only.

    I would assess Huntress Managed SIEM's enhanced correlation and detection coverage in identifying potential threats earlier in the attack life cycle as very beneficial. Previously, I had to check all logs manually from all applications, and this tool helps us filter all logs and show only the important ones, which is very beneficial.

    If you want to secure your infrastructure and save a lot of time for your organization, you can use Huntress Managed SIEM. It saves a lot of time. Instead of showing all logs, you see only the alert logs, which will be very beneficial for you. I would rate Huntress Managed SIEM a 10 out of 10.

    Managed detection has reduced threat anxiety and provides fast responses across diverse clients
    Pros and Cons
    • "Huntress Managed SIEM's response time is far superior to any other vendor we have tested in terms of MDR."
    • "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."

    What is our primary use case?

    Huntress is our primary MDR solution, though we have had some clients on Arctic Wolf and Perch Security. We deploy it across all different verticals, including hospitals and healthcare, small businesses, law offices, and municipalities, as part of our full stack.

    We use the complete Huntress stack, which includes the MDR, ITDR, and the SIEM. We were one of their early testers for the SIEM.

    What is most valuable?

    Huntress's response time is far superior to that of any other vendor we have tested for MDR.

    It removes the fear of threats, knowing that Huntress Managed SIEM is monitoring the environment and will catch items and alert us appropriately, without noise.

    What needs improvement?

    I would appreciate more features in the stack. I would like Huntress MDR and 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.

    Regarding the SIEM, I would like to see more features added. I would appreciate the capability of setting our own alerting based on certain triggers within the logs so that we can compete and fill a void that their SIEM has compared to other SIEMs in the industry such as Perch Security for ConnectWise.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using this solution for approximately ten years, since Huntress was a small startup.

    How are customer service and support?

    We do not have to reach out to support very often. When we do, sometimes the cases take a bit more time. I would rate their support at an eight. There is always room for improvement. Usually when we reach out, it is for a bigger issue that may require development expertise. I find that some of that takes time with any vendor, and that can add delays in communication because you are communicating to tier one and tier two people who are then communicating on the back end, so you are not getting updates as frequently.

    What other advice do I have?

    Huntress is priced competitively in the industry. We appreciate their model in terms of MSP focus with tiered pricing. We understand what the pricing will be based on how many agents we have, which makes planning easy when selling a product and baking it into ongoing costs as part of a stack.

    ConnectWise has a fully featured SIEM solution in terms of alert and log generation, and alerting based on that, whereas Huntress Managed SIEM is working to remove much of the burden, which is beneficial for us. However, there are certain alerts that I would like to have automatically create a ticket or generate an email based on being generated or found in the logs. This review receives an overall rating of eight out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    Logging has supported compliance goals and simplifies incident analysis with AI-driven queries
    Pros and Cons
    • "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."

      What is our primary use case?

      My main use case for Huntress Managed SIEM is setting up security logging for our firewalls. My primary purpose is to set them up for compliance reasons, and in addition to that, it is good to use when analyzing situations in which an endpoint device may have been compromised, having that additional data there to get information for further review.

      How has it helped my organization?

      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.

      A specific example of how having that extra information from Huntress Managed SIEM has helped me respond to a security event or achieve compliance is that it has become a mandatory requirement for our customers with CMMC to have data log retention, and Huntress Managed SIEM allows that functionality.

      What is most valuable?

      The best features Huntress Managed SIEM offers include the wide variety of ways in which the SIEM can gather source materials, how long the data can be stored for, the volume of storage, and the ease of use of the queries using the AI search function.

      The AI search function has simplified the ability to search for syslog events; prior to the AI feature, I would have had to use Google to build the ESQL queries needed to gather the information, whereas it is now nice to be able to have it inside of the platform.

      What needs improvement?

      I have not run into a situation where there has been a problem, and even when I have reached out to customer technical support, they have been able to immediately address any problems that I have encountered.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      Huntress Managed SIEM's scalability is fine and works great, as we have many customers already in the platform.

      How are customer service and support?

      The customer support is excellent.

      What other advice do I have?

      The advice I would give to others looking into using Huntress Managed SIEM is to review all relevant data and help guides before deployment. I would rate this product a 9.

      Human monitoring has improved firewall alert detection and now provides reliable protection
      Pros and Cons
      • "Having real people reviewing the alerts compared to automated systems gives me confidence and peace of mind."

        What is our primary use case?

        My main use case for Huntress Managed SIEM is SIEM. I use Huntress Managed SIEM in my organization to monitor firewalls for all my customers. Day-to-day, that process mostly involves looking for alerts. My setup and workflow are straightforward without anything unique to add.

        What is most valuable?

        The best features Huntress Managed SIEM offers are real people looking at the alerts. Having real people reviewing the alerts compared to automated systems gives me confidence and peace of mind. Huntress Managed SIEM has positively impacted my organization because we did not have anything before and now we do. The difference that has been made is evident in that the alerts actually get picked up on.

        What needs improvement?

        Huntress Managed SIEM can be improved by adding the ability to have multiple endpoints delivering SIEM log collectors to a single cloud agent. There are no other improvements needed for Huntress Managed SIEM beyond what I have mentioned.

        For how long have I used the solution?

        I have been using Huntress Managed SIEM for six months.

        What other advice do I have?

        I would rate Huntress Managed SIEM a 10 out of 10. I give it a 10 because it is good.

        Regarding Huntress Managed SIEM's AI capabilities, I have not used them, so I am not sure about their effectiveness. I also have not used Huntress Managed SIEM's AI features to assess their accuracy and reliability of output.

        My advice to others looking into using Huntress Managed SIEM is to do it.

        Centralized management streamlines log collection while providing valuable resources
        Pros and Cons
        • "The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
        • "Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
        • "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."

        What is our primary use case?

        We use it for log collection on customers that have compliance requirements.

        What is most valuable?

        The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable. It allows us to manage multiple Huntress products in a central place, and we don't have ten different portals; we have one.

        What needs improvement?

        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.

        For how long have I used the solution?

        I actually just started using it. It's a fairly new product in our company, and I'd say it's been about a month.

        What do I think about the stability of the solution?

        It's been stable.

        What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

        It's a cloud SaaS product, so I would assume it's scalable. I've never run into an issue with it.

        Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

        We switched from Total DYL. Price was part of the reason, however, moving everything under that single product was incredibly valuable.

        How was the initial setup?

        The initial deployment was easy. I'm not sure if it uses the same agent as the EDR or if it's a separate agent, however, our security person who deployed it said it was super easy to deploy.

        What about the implementation team?

        It was just us, no third party was involved. The deployment was a one-person job.

        What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

        I think the pricing for SIEM is good.

        What other advice do I have?

        I advise you to utilize Huntress as a resource. Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment. Some software vendors are not helpful, leaving you out on an island. Huntress is incredibly helpful. 

        On a scale from one to ten, I would rate SIEM an eight.

        Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

        Public Cloud

        If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
