Scalable platform with intuitive features for detecting malicious files
The initial setup process is straightforward. We have to install the agent, create a package, and deploy it on servers. It has a prebuilt console managed by the cloud team of Cybereason. We don't have to worry about the console and concentrate on endpoint implementation. It takes ten days to deploy it on 10,000 devices.
Anto Baharian - PeerSpot reviewer
Never misses anything and has an attractive price point and a simple interface
One thing they could improve is evolving from an EDR to an MDR, like Blackpoint. This transition would enable automatic remediation of anything that looks dangerous, including within Microsoft 365. For instance, when one of my clients' Microsoft 365 account was breached, Blackpoint identified suspicious activity and disabled the account. It was in Dallas, and we are in California. Blackpoint knew something was wrong there, and they went in and disabled the account. Developing more automated remediation features would elevate them to an MDR level, but I understand that it might affect pricing. They are trying to keep it at a good price point because once they go to MDR, it is probably going to double the price. For now, I find the current features satisfactory, as they continue to add improvements. They have added security awareness training and then log collectors. They are adding pillars as they move along, and I assume they are going to have an option for MDR.

Pros

"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The dashboard is very good and you can consider it as an interactive UI."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"The initial setup is not overly complicated."
"Cybereason's threat hunting and investigation are the most valuable features. Threat hunting is a user-friendly feature that keeps you safe. Investigation offers an added value that I haven't seen with other EDR services. It allows you to find specific policy problems within your environment."
"Their EDR solution, the ability to mitigate issues through their command line, is probably the best feature that we've had. We use that all the time. It's very useful for doing investigations."
"The solution is efficient."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it has a manned security operation center, not AI-driven."
"After deployment, it takes some time to scan and process everything. Huntress has effectively flagged issues such as password files on desktops, which it identifies as low-level alerts. It also handles more significant threats effectively."
"The EDR is the most valuable feature."
"Huntress is easy to use. It immediately improved visibility and understanding of our security posture."
"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 provides that human in the loop, which means someone is always watching your back, and that's the main difference."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"Their SOC is super responsive and does a great job of catching incidences and being on top of any issues that arise."
 

Cons

"While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"The integration with Microsoft solutions and Microsoft capabilities needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."
"The product's reporting isn't great."
"Cybereason does not have sandbox functionality."
"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."
"Ad hoc higher-level reporting to senior management can be improved or can be implemented. That's definitely an area of improvement that they need to focus on."
"Huntress has a cyber education platform, but it lacks all the languages we need."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"The reporting could be improved by providing a more simplified report that can be easily understood by clients."
"Ultimately, the clarity of their alerts is paramount for effective threat communication and could benefit from clearer remediation steps."
"I would request that they make it an agent for Linux because we need it on Linux."
"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."
"Huntress should have a more user-friendly interface because it takes some understanding to work our way through the interfaces."
"It would be ideal if they could create some incentives to help more partners get clients to onboard it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."
"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."
"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
"The pricing is manageable."
"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."
"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
"The pricing model for Huntress is similar to competitors and is charged per endpoint."
"Huntress Managed EDR offers a fair pricing model."
"Regarding the pricing for Huntress Managed EDR, I was amazed when I heard the price; I thought it was going to be way more than what it is based on the quality."
"It is simple. It is reasonable. They raised my prices this year. We never like price increases, but they continue to add value, so we just keep adding agents as we grow and as our clients grow."
"Huntress is an easy sell to clients because it does all the heavy lifting. Sometimes, they will buck a little at the price because they want a free antivirus or EDR. We tell them that we use Huntress on all our machines. That is our standard process for all the machines we roll out. When we give that advice, people are pretty willing to say okay."
"The pricing is competitive, in line with Huntress's offerings, and aligns well with our business model."
