Featured Reviews

Head Of IT at EA Gibson, Shipbrokers
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.

We now benefit from regular account reviews and proactive event monitoring
It could improve the customer portal and possibly reduce prices slightly. It's very good because it includes user behavior analytics, detection rules, and thorough log investigation. They also have robust threat-hunting capabilities in the backend, which is crucial for me as a one-man band in the IT department. The managed service wraparound is essential, especially with pre-authorization for incident response

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Huntress is easy to use. It immediately improved visibility and understanding of our security posture."
"It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things."
"For us, Huntress Managed EDR has been a game changer for the SMB market."
"Their SOC is super responsive and does a great job of catching incidences and being on top of any issues that arise."
"Huntress works seamlessly and only picks up what might be malicious, phishing, or incorrect usage by staff, such as saving passwords in their folders, which is something we wouldn't be catching otherwise."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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."
"After deploying Huntress Managed EDR, it took no time to start improving my organization's security."
"Our security posture has improved. We previously lacked intrusion detection and response capabilities, but now we benefit from regular account reviews and proactive event monitoring. Their portal provides a straightforward way to report suspicious activity, keeping us well-informed about potential threats."
 

Cons

"The main reason it is not a perfect 10 is that I would like more customizations or integrations and deeper reporting and dashboard options."
"There is room for improvement in Huntress Managed EDR regarding a minor issue."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"In terms of room for improvement for Huntress Managed EDR, I think that if they could work with maybe other antivirus vendors to sort of work together with those, it would be beneficial because I know they work with Microsoft Defender, but we chose not to do that."
"The existing features are perfect. However, I think they could add a more robust set of security features like dark web scanning, penetration testing, and risk assessment for clients. We would have one tool for everything. We wouldn't have to go to multiple vendors to pull something together. That would be more beneficial for us."
"Regarding improvements for Huntress Managed EDR, there was an example yesterday where the UI had unclear directions and it caused the agent itself to be removed from the endpoint device during a critical moment."
"Regarding Huntress Managed EDR, they could add more features when compared to another EDR platform, SentinelOne."
"It could improve the customer portal and possibly reduce prices slightly. It's very good because it includes user behavior analytics, detection rules, and thorough log investigation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huntress is priced fairly for the services and value it provides."
"I believe Huntress offers competitive pricing overall."
"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."
"We haven't had any problems with Huntress' pricing. We're at 250 workstations, and we've grown considerably this year. They've been able to handle everything that we've thrown at them within that time frame. They're also reducing the price based on how many endpoints we add."
"While other options have emerged since Huntress' arrival, I believe it still offers the best value for the features and services it provides."
"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
"Huntress has a favourable pricing structure, and I appreciate the cost-effectiveness compared to previous solutions."
"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."
