A scalable SIEM solution for monitoring a user's activity in the file server
The most valuable features of the solution are its quick and simple features related to advanced permissions for files, allowing for what permission needs to be granted to the users when it comes to the monitoring folder in the solution. If someone who has been denied permission to use a particular folder tries to go to that folder, then the administrator gets a notification. In general, the administrator can easily gather and maintain records if a person who has been denied permission to a particular confidential folder tries to access it.

Managed detection has reduced threat anxiety and provides fast responses across diverse clients
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.
