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

"Huntress Managed EDR has impacted my organization positively because it is time-saving and trustworthy, so we can believe that it can help us get a better reputation and more confidence as an MSP to serve our clients."
"It is a ten out of ten in terms of ease of use."
"I would absolutely recommend Huntress Managed EDR, as I consider them a leader in the field and am confident in their service."
"Huntress Managed EDR has positively impacted my organization by improving our endpoint visibility and incident response efficiency, allowing us to investigate suspicious activity faster, identify threats earlier, and reduce manual efforts during endpoint investigations."
"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."
"Because of the pricing, performance, and usability, Huntress Managed EDR is without a doubt the best EDR solution for small businesses that I've ever seen."
"Users usually note improvements in a matter of days. In others, it is immediately. It varies according to the environment."
"We saw the benefits of Huntress pretty quickly. Once it started detecting threats, it was great."
"The solution is very light, works well on our PCs, the dashboard is very good, and we find the pricing to be very affordable."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is easy to use, stable, flexible, and the performance is great."
"We no longer have to worry about running scans as it is so lightweight and there is no user impact."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"Customer Service: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well. Technical Support: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it is a low profile environment as far as overhead on the machines."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."
 

Cons

"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."
"The Huntress is not a standalone solution. It really needs to be used with something else such as Microsoft Defender or another antivirus solution. It would be nice to see the product fleshed out by the Huntress team and include the antivirus solution part as well. I want it to be a full-fledged XDR product. It would push the tool to a higher price range but it would be nice to see the fleshed out features. I want them to integrate more features from the XDR realm."
"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."
"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."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"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."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Customer support for Huntress Managed EDR could have been better. Although there is a dedicated representative, after the initial onboarding conversation, there was not much follow-up until renewal came up."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"Areas for improvement would be the reporting system in the admin console."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive, in line with Huntress's offerings, and aligns well with our business model."
"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."
"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'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."
"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 pricing model for Huntress is similar to competitors and is charged per endpoint."
"I believe Huntress Managed EDR is fairly priced. The value I get from it in terms of peace of mind justifies the expense. You can justify it as a business expense."
"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"The pricing is high."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"It is relatively cheap."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
