Featured Reviews

VikramSingh8 - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Delivery Manager at Accenture
Advanced detectors streamline threat monitoring with many use cases
Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions. Their turnaround time could improve to match other tools. When feedback is provided, they consider it and indicate if it is in the development stage. They commit to fixing bugs and developing the module or feature, however, take quite a lot of time. I would rate their customer support as needing improvement. Another area needing improvement is integration capabilities, as they are not yet fully compatible. Users still have to rely on third-party software or integration tools. Furthermore, they should incorporate more GenAI capabilities, a current buzzword, and enable predictive use cases. Their tools should be capable of reading the environment, making adaptations, and automatically tweaking settings as per client or environmental needs, similar to capabilities provided by other SIEM tools.
Chirag Thavidaboiyna - PeerSpot reviewer
MDR Analyst at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Centralized monitoring has reduced manual investigations and supports 24x7 threat response
Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved if there were more flexible dashboards or reporting options for different clients and security requirements, if it had more powerful filtering and correlation capabilities, just like Wazuh, and also broader native integrations with firewalls, cloud platforms, and third-party security tools. Alert customization is important. One area where I would like to see improvements is the reporting. More detailed, customizable reports which show security trends, incident timelines, and response metrics would be beneficial. The reason I chose nine out of ten is that the improvements I was discussing, which include dashboard customization and advanced filtering options, would make it easier for me to conduct investigations. The advanced log filtering and reporting flexibility also need some tuning. More control over these features would make daily investigations much easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hunter proactively provides a set of five to six hundred use cases, categorized based on cloud use cases, endpoint use cases, parameter use cases, and malicious use cases."
"Other SIEM tools base their license cost on the volume of data processed, often charging by how much TB or GB data is processed. Hunter, however, charges based on the number of data sources and the number of data entities integrated, which saves money."
"Huntress Managed SIEM's correlation and detection coverage does a good job identifying potential threats early in the attack lifecycle, and I find it very useful."
"During the year I have been using it, I have seen improvements such as no alert fatigue, which is beneficial, and obviously the automated threat detection."
"The correlation and detection coverage of Huntress Managed SIEM is very good."
"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
"Huntress Managed SIEM is designed to make powerful threat detection, response, and compliance support accessible without the complexities and costs of traditional SIEMs."
"Overall, I had a positive experience with Huntress Managed SIEM; the combination of twenty-four seven SOC monitoring, smart filtering, centralized visibility, and reduced tuning effort makes it easier for the team to focus on meaningful security incidents rather than managing the SIEM itself."
"Overall, Huntress Managed SIEM has been a positive addition to our security operations workflow."
"Huntress Managed SIEM has positively impacted our organization by helping us be more secure and more safe."
 

Cons

"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional."
"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions."
"The scalability for SMEs and MSPs is noteworthy for a few hundred endpoints, but it struggles with scalability when dealing with high logs, multi-site, multi-tenant setups, and large volumes of endpoints, which poses a challenge."
"I would like to see broader third-party integration and easier troubleshooting for log sources."
"The deployment of Huntress Managed SIEM is somewhat complex compared to ITDR and EDR, as those are just click, click, click, and next, next, finish, while SIEM requires some form of configuration."
"One area that could be improved in Huntress Managed SIEM is the reporting and customization."
"Areas where Huntress Managed SIEM could improve include automated alert triage, events, threat intelligence context, endpoint visibility, detection and response workflows, log correlation, incident timeliness, integration with existing security tools, and reduced alert fatigue."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"I would appreciate more features in the stack. I would like Huntress Managed 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."
"The search function in the log explorer has room for improvement, as I need to type something to search logs, and this feature could be significantly enhanced."
