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.

Security Administrator at Charles IT
In terms of stability, the solution is very stable, and the cloud platform itself is reliable.

Room For Improvement

Huntress Managed ITDR needs UI maturity, better reporting, speed improvements, and enhanced integrations for a refined user experience.
Mimecast's usability is hindered by limited reporting, confusing interface, Java dependency, and inadequate backup features and speed.
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
 

Setup Cost

Huntress Managed ITDR offers competitive pricing and value, with positive reviews for affordability and comprehensive security services.
Mimecast offers scalable pricing, multi-year discounts, and robust support, providing good value despite initially high costs.
Compared to other companies, Huntress keeps costs reasonable, offering 24/7 vigilance without price gouging.
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 offers comprehensive security with endpoint protection, real-time monitoring, and customizable alerts, enhancing IT efficiency.
Mimecast offers seamless, low-impact data protection with intuitive management, real-time backups, customizable risk scoring, and cross-platform functionality.
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.

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.
Chuck_Mackey - PeerSpot reviewer
Director, Cybersecurity Consulting at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Provides comprehensive visibility and protection, helps in identifying the gaps in security, and comes with excellent onboarding support
In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue. It really has to do with the overall infrastructure and what the organization is prepared to do. If the infrastructure or the networking is a little hinky or you don't have a really finely tuned network infrastructure environment and your patches aren't up to date on your servers and your endpoints, it could get a little sticky. Other than that, it was okay. We really didn't have much problem beyond that. It took a couple of days to sort that out, but it was no big deal.
