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

"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."
"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."
"The customer support provided by Huntress is impeccable. Their product is easy to deploy and manage, and the portal setup for Managed Service Providers is excellent. A lot of companies do not do that very well."
"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 has improved our security posture and has provided peace of mind for myself as well as the firm partners that our security stance can not only meet the minimum requirements but actually positions us well to protect our environment from modern and emerging threats."
"Huntress Managed EDR has helped significantly in reducing the need for expensive security tools or security analysts, and since it is an EDR and fully managed, we don't need other EDR tools or specialists."
"The endpoint protection is definitely the most impactful feature for clients. It just works. It is a set-it-and-forget-it type of solution."
"It is a ten out of ten in terms of ease of use."
"Users usually note improvements in a matter of days. In others, it is immediately. It varies according to the environment."
"What I like the most about Huntress Managed EDR is their lockdowns on malware; just last night I remediated a system that could have gone really sideways, their SOC called me and texted me and within 45 seconds we had a lockdown and remediation in progress, so all around they are just phenomenal."
 

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."
"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."
"I am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365."
"Regarding Huntress Managed EDR, they could add more features when compared to another EDR platform, SentinelOne."
"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."
"One thing they could improve is evolving from an EDR to an MDR, like Blackpoint."
"I would like to see an easier way to whitelist sites or to monitor some of the reporting that Huntress Managed EDR does."
"The integration with Autotask could be improved."
"Huntress has a cyber education platform, but it lacks all the languages we need."
"Installing Huntress on a Mac presents a challenge for end users due to the operating system's security features, which require administrator privileges for installation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is very fair. I started at $2.50 and now I am at $3.50. When I signed up, I thought it was too cheap. It now reflects the price. It is very fair. I do not think you can find anything better."
"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."
"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."
"While other options have emerged since Huntress' arrival, I believe it still offers the best value for the features and services it provides."
"It works well for an MSP."
"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."
"I believe Huntress offers competitive pricing overall."
"Huntress has a favourable pricing structure, and I appreciate the cost-effectiveness compared to previous solutions."
