CTO at Accent Consulting
Huntress Managed ITDR is protecting about 120 users. In terms of the people that log into it, it's two or three IT admins, but we've got 120 licenses, so it's protecting 120 Microsoft accounts.
Head of IT at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Whether there are ten users or three hundred, it attaches to the Microsoft tenant, making it effortless to scale.
Business Owner at Royal IT
If you assign a device to a user in Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, you cannot reassign it to another user.

9.2
Huntress Managed ITDR is highly stable, scoring perfect for reliability with seamless deployment and smooth, uninterrupted access.

Room For Improvement

Improvements needed in customization, user interface, compatibility, reporting, detection capabilities, and integration with HaloPSA and beyond Microsoft 365.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud requires expertise, has integration and performance issues, limited features, and users seek better scalability and security.
There's a confusing aspect with the escalation options; applying conditions to a specific identity is not immediately visible and requires using a three-dot menu.
Business Owner at Royal IT
It's a very simple and easy-to-use interface in terms of recommendations and feedback.
Head of IT at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
I still see many issues indicating that devices are not compliant due to policy conflicts, and it has been almost a month trying to figure out how to make all devices compliant.
Cybersecurity Admin at a pharma/biotech company with 201-500 employees
Recently, there was a company which was attacked by phishing emails, and out of 10, it was only blocking three emails.
Supports Engineer at Rawad IT Solutions
Changes occur without notification or updates from the Kaspersky team, making it difficult to prepare for modifications.

Setup Cost

Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud provides flexible pricing, generally seen as accessible and competitive, though some users find it expensive.

Business Owner at Royal IT
I think it was two or three dollars a user a month.
Head of IT at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The licensing cost, again, is a good price point that allows me to add it on to clients and it becomes a no-brainer for them to add it because the price of the service makes sense.
Director at Cloud4 Technology Limited
 

Valuable Features

Huntress Managed ITDR provides real-time threat detection, customizable alerts, and analytics for enhanced security, operational efficiency, and increased revenue.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud offers comprehensive protection and management with strong malware detection and integration with Microsoft Office 365.
It provides protection against M365 identity compromises, like admin account breaches.
Business Owner at Royal IT
The best features of the solution are the fact that there are real people behind it who watch the alerts and then escalate as required, and the fact that there is an immediate support team or SOC team behind it if we have any questions.
Head of IT at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The best feature is the lack of false positives; when we receive an alert from Huntress Managed ITDR, the majority of the time they are true positives that are actionable, unlike some other tools which generate a lot of noise.
Security Administrator at Charles IT
Endpoint Detection and Response functionality includes root cause analysis and device isolation.
Technical Support Engineer at 64 Network Security Pvt Ltd
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is one of the best, very effective software because of its vulnerability assessment and threat assessments.

Featured Reviews

Jeremy Harlan - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC Analyst L2 at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Managed detection has stopped account takeovers and has strengthened our incident response playbooks
Their threat analytics and process insights are exceptional. When Huntress Managed ITDR finds malware, a virus, or a phishing email, their analytics have improved significantly over time. I remember when they were not very detailed, but now they provide comprehensive information down to the specific type of dependency affected on a host machine. They show us exactly where all the infected files are located on the computer, which makes cleanup straightforward and invaluable. I know they partner with Microsoft, and if you have Huntress Managed ITDR and Microsoft Defender, it is truly near real-time as stated. That is a very accurate claim.

Security features excel while management tools face challenges
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud has proven to be a robust and comprehensive solution for endpoint protection. So far, no major negative features have been observed. However, email security integration with Microsoft 365 has room for improvement. In a recent real-world incident, a company received 10 phishing emails, of which only three were blocked by the system. Enhancing detection accuracy to block 7 or more would significantly improve trust and effectiveness. With the on-premises version, there's a known issue where assigning a device to a new group results in it being auto-assigned back to the previous group. Fixing this bug would greatly streamline device management. Additionally, in the cloud version, once a device is assigned to a user, it cannot be reassigned without deleting the user or the device entirely. It would be far more user-friendly if the platform allowed simple reassignment or de-assignment, returning the device to an "unassigned" state. As for automated behavioral analysis, while current functionality is based on machine learning, upgrading to true AI-powered detection could bring substantial improvements. Ideally, the system should proactively flag potential threats, and offer administrators the option to either allow or block applications based on intelligent risk analysis
