reviewer2711757 - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Software Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Automated alerting and reporting excel while cost and feature limitations remain
I find automation to be one of the best and most valuable features of the product. Machine learning is incorporated into the solution, though AI is a broader term that I wouldn't apply here. I haven't personally explored AI yet, but I will investigate it. Machine learning functions more as automation in my experience, as there's no training involved yet. I want to conduct R&D on another project with Wazuh to determine how to capture usage, for example, tracking user logins and time spent. This is where I need to implement machine learning. Additionally, the extraction of GeoIP adds complexity. The solution is effectively reducing incident response times in operations.
reviewer2902929 - PeerSpot reviewer
SOAR Catalyst at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Centralized monitoring has reduced manual investigations and supports 24x7 threat response
Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved if there were more flexible dashboards or reporting options for different clients and security requirements, if it had more powerful filtering and correlation capabilities, just like Wazuh, and also broader native integrations with firewalls, cloud platforms, and third-party security tools. Alert customization is important. One area where I would like to see improvements is the reporting. More detailed, customizable reports which show security trends, incident timelines, and response metrics would be beneficial. The reason I chose nine out of ten is that the improvements I was discussing, which include dashboard customization and advanced filtering options, would make it easier for me to conduct investigations. The advanced log filtering and reporting flexibility also need some tuning. More control over these features would make daily investigations much easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."
"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."
"Huntress Managed SIEM's response time is far superior to any other vendor we have tested in terms of MDR."
"Huntress Managed SIEM brings SIEM to the SMB level so small companies can use an enterprise SIEM solution while filtering out a lot of noise, which is a great feature of the product."
"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
"We have seen around a 20 to 30% reduction in manual alert triage effort, mainly because Huntress SOC filters and investigates many alerts before they reach our team."
"Having real people reviewing the alerts compared to automated systems gives me confidence and peace of mind."
"Huntress Managed SIEM is designed to make powerful threat detection, response, and compliance support accessible without the complexities and costs of traditional SIEMs."
"Overall, Huntress Managed SIEM has been a positive addition to our security operations workflow."
"The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
 

Cons

"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."
"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."
"The deployment of Huntress Managed SIEM is somewhat complex compared to ITDR and EDR, as those are just click, click, click, and next, next, finish, while SIEM requires some form of configuration."
"The main improvement area is deeper customization; it would be helpful to have more flexibility for creating custom detection rules, dashboards, and alert workflows based on specific organizational requirements."
"Huntress has experienced occasional service disruptions, including signal processing delays and potential portal issues, but it is sufficient for the company."
"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."
"Areas where Huntress Managed SIEM could improve include automated alert triage, events, threat intelligence context, endpoint visibility, detection and response workflows, log correlation, incident timeliness, integration with existing security tools, and reduced alert fatigue."
"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."
