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.
Ashutosh Jha - PeerSpot reviewer

Security monitoring has provided full incident visibility and enables rapid threat remediation
For improving SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, it has to integrate some more EDRs, such as Trend Micro and multiple OEMs, such as Secure Right. They need to integrate that as well, and also integrate other firewalls such as Sophos and Palo Alto to enhance the MDR services. If there is any user who is using Palo Alto firewall and Trend Micro endpoint security, SonicWall Managed Detection and Response needs to manage that too, so SonicWall can also manage the same Palo Alto firewall and Trend Micro or Secure Right. In my experience with SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, it is functional, but they need to integrate such things to improve the MDR services.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automatic remediation feature of Huntress Managed EDR is very effective because at midnight, around 2:00 AM, if there is an alert while I am sleeping, I know my organization remains safe."
"Their SOC is super responsive and does a great job of catching incidences and being on top of any issues that arise."
"The features of Huntress that I found helpful are the one-click remediation piece and the ability for me to reach out to their customer service reps and get this under control when there is a threat."
"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."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."
"Huntress Managed EDR eliminates the need to outsource expensive security tools or analysts, avoiding the high costs associated with external solutions."
"Huntress Managed EDR is a spectacular solution for the SMB space."
"With MDR, when we purchase SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, we have visibility of our incidents and our malicious behavior traffic, and not only the visibility, they can also remediate that same thing."
 

Cons

"The ITDR product is coming along great, however, we are still getting many false positives."
"Other products are a little more flashy and might have a little more marketing prowess because they have such a huge amount of information and they have security maps and threat portals and all sorts of features that we don't necessarily find to help security, but they do help those products when you're showing them to clients."
"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 had been requesting Huntress support for macOS for a while, and they recently rolled it out, making it generally available within two months. Having a regular support line would be good."
"One downside of Huntress Managed EDR, compared to the CrowdStrike agent, is that it takes a longer time to push it out to all of our endpoints and ensure everything is configured correctly."
"The integration with our RMM could be better."
"Regarding Huntress Managed EDR, they could add more features when compared to another EDR platform, SentinelOne."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"For improving SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, it has to integrate some more EDRs, such as Trend Micro and multiple OEMs, such as Secure Right."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huntress is priced fairly for the services and value it provides."
"Regarding the pricing for Huntress Managed EDR, I was amazed when I heard the price; I thought it was going to be way more than what it is based on the quality."
"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."
"Huntress Managed EDR offers a fair pricing model."
"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 pricing model for Huntress is similar to competitors and is charged per endpoint."
"It works well for an MSP."
"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."
