Cross-platform capability enhances security integration
The single agent, combined with the EDR system, delivers additional information and data for the EDR. Regarding the use cases, or maybe it fits better into another question about the motivation of the customers, I can see two approaches. The first approach is where the customer has an existing EDR system running, and their contract comes to an end. They are looking to either prolong it, renew it, continue with the current system, or look for something cheaper or better. When they reevaluate the contract, it's a sales approach to suggest that for a similar amount of money, not very much more, they can get something much better. It's not only a plain EDR or plain antivirus system - it's antivirus plus EDR. The difference in price is not much. Especially for the antivirus, the cross-platform capability is significant, as it's for Windows and Linux workstations and servers. Having one system for all platforms is essential. This has helped in two ways. The majority of customers want one thing for all, however, some customers definitely want two systems, servers separated from workstations. I have a big data center for banks, and they separate Windows Servers from Linux Servers. It is important for them to have two different systems. By providing this multi-operating system capability, I have engaged with customers via the Linux servers because the Windows servers are handled differently, so they were looking for a second different system, which opened the door for us.

Managed detection has improved visibility and response but still needs broader integrations
The best features Huntress Managed EDR offers do not really include any other features outside what other providers are doing; it was more about integrating with other tools that we already had with them. I find it easy to use Huntress Managed EDR; we don't operate within Huntress Managed EDR portal for EDR but have it work on our Defender data and through SIEM, which means we use a different interface and a different kind of portal to manage it. My impression of Huntress Managed EDR's ability to detect persistent footholds on our endpoints is adequate. I have the threat containment feature turned on, but we haven't seen any usage of it yet. I make use of Huntress Managed EDR's ability to automatically remediate low-severity threats; this automatic remediation affects my workload and security by purely blocking people trying to install applications, thereby stopping people from creating a bigger attack surface. The availability of Huntress Managed EDR for all major operating systems does not affect my organization's cybersecurity strategy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate the overall product as an eight out of ten."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its AI detection algorithm part, which helps and is Cybereason's way of detecting the unknown, not just the signature-based threats."
"Especially for the antivirus, the cross-platform capability is significant, as it's for Windows and Linux workstations and servers."
"The tool's detection range works fine. Its most valuable features are its ease of employment and lightweightness. It's not heavy on resources. We focus on malware and ransomware detection."
"The benefits of Huntress Managed EDR were seen almost immediately after deploying it."
"Overall, the biggest value for me is the combination of endpoint visibility, detection context, investigation capabilities, and the managed security components, which make Huntress Managed EDR more useful operationally than simply having another antivirus product gathering alerts."
"Overall, it is really solid, with just a few UI placements, button descriptions, and caution messages that could be added before certain actions are performed."
"Huntress Managed EDR has definitely helped protect my M365 environment by detecting malicious activity that I have verified as true positive alerts under ITDR, the Huntress ITDR."
"Huntress Managed EDR has helped significantly reduce our workload so that our engineers can focus on other tasks at hand."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"Huntress Managed EDR has positively impacted our organization because we have not had a major security incident since we started using it."
"I have nothing negative to say about my main use case or how my team interacts with Huntress Managed EDR because Huntress Managed EDR is superb."
 

Cons

"Integrating other tools is sometimes an issue when using Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus."
"I have been told several times that the stability of the sensor, not the back end, is an issue."
"Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus is not available in the local language, which can be inconvenient."
"Incident reporting could be a little bit cleaner."
"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 Managed EDR can be improved by adding more features and a bit more security for users while remaining user-friendly so that everyone won't be frustrated by getting blocked."
"If Huntress decides to follow the path that SentinelOne and CrowdStrike seem to not understand isn't what their clients want, which is handing off their SOC to an AI, then we might be considering other options."
"We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports."
"The reporting could be improved by providing a more simplified report that can be easily understood by clients. A way to present the data to the client so they understand its importance would be beneficial."
"One sucky part about that is that they don't have a prorate. They don't reduce it for the exact number of days used. They charge you for the whole month."
"The main reason it is not a perfect 10 is that I would like more customizations or integrations and deeper reporting and dashboard options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten. Its pricing is justified."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"While other options have emerged since Huntress' arrival, I believe it still offers the best value for the features and services it provides."
"I rate the product pricing six out of ten for the Malaysian market. However, I would rate it a three out of ten for the Australian, New Zealand, or Singapore markets."
"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
"I rate the product's price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive since it is a fairly priced product."
"Huntress is priced fairly for the services and value it provides."
"We haven't had any problems with Huntress' pricing. We're at 250 workstations, and we've grown considerably this year. They've been able to handle everything that we've thrown at them within that time frame. They're also reducing the price based on how many endpoints we add."
"It is fair. They provide good value for the product that they deliver. I have had one price increase in the entire time I have used them. They added a bunch of features and then said that they have to increase our price a little bit. That is a fair way to handle it."
