Gains additional email security with affordability but needs deeper integration with Office 365
Hornetsecurity Email Spam Filter and Malware Protection provides a good service at an affordable price due to a special education pricing plan. This makes it an attractive option for us. It enhances our security by operating in front of the protection provided by Microsoft and effectively detecting and tagging spam and malware. Although it is difficult to make a direct comparison, its competitive pricing is a key benefit. While Microsoft detects some spam, Hornetsecurity adds another layer of detection.

Improving alert visibility and reporting has reduced workload and strengthened security posture
Huntress Managed EDR could be improved by providing more visibility into each alert that comes in and what action was taken on it. There have been times when an alert was received through Microsoft Defender indicating an account was accessed, when in reality it was blocked by a conditional access policy, yet when checking the Huntress portal, that event does not appear at all, lacking indication that it was raised and investigated as not a threat. The reporting in Huntress Managed EDR is fairly basic, as the only available report is effectively an executive summary. Although it contains useful information, other platforms have reporting engines that are much more robust and customizable, functionality that appears to be missing in Huntress.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Makes my inbox cleaner and more secure. The infomail is now neatly out of my view and I dont see all the junk I use to see when using AppRiver or just Microsofts native spam filter. I see only the things I need to see, and spoofed messages have decreased 100% throughout the organization."
"This is hands down the most valuable tool in my arsenal."
"Hornetsecurity Email Spam Filter and Malware Protection provides a good service at an affordable price due to a special education pricing plan."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"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."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"Using Huntress Managed EDR has helped reduce the need for expensive security tools or hiring additional security analysts since I can use that as the first port of call versus trying to get an external SOC."
"Huntress has improved our security significantly by 90 percent."
"Huntress Managed EDR is probably the easiest solution to use, both to deploy and to maintain, of all the product lines and vendor partnerships we have."
"Huntress Managed EDR has helped me reduce the need for expensive security tools or to hire expensive security analysts."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
 

Cons

"If I had to pick my least favorite thing, I would say some of the tabs to control settings can get a little overwhelming. It can also be a little hard to read the font at certain times so possibly enlarging the details and text of the site a little to make it not so "fit" to the screen."
"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."
"Not every time, but sometimes when we click on the remediation, the auto-resolution of the alert, the screen gets stuck, and I need to contact support so they can confirm the remediation was applied, and they have to close the ticket."
"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."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"To enhance the platform, I suggest adding a feature to forward Huntress's recommended response directly to the client, ensuring their clear understanding of the gathered information."
"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."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"What I dislike about Huntress Managed EDR is that I would probably change my opinion since about the only thing I could really see is bringing down the price somewhat."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The cost-effectiveness of Huntress is much better compared to BlackPoint. Although Huntress does not offer all the finer details that BlackPoint does, it remains much more competitive in pricing."
"The pricing is competitive, in line with Huntress's offerings, and aligns well with our business model."
"I believe Huntress offers competitive pricing overall."
"The solution is cheap compared to other alternatives. It offers good value for money. For the whole solution, it's up to about five pounds per device per month. Considering what it does, I think that's very good value."
"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."
"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
"While other options have emerged since Huntress' arrival, I believe it still offers the best value for the features and services it provides."

Questions from the Community
