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.

Reporting effectiveness and advanced AI capabilities improve threat awareness while needing pricing simplification and licensing self-service
With pricing, they can improve by bundling their pricing because sometimes billing comes in a very long process. If they could bundle it as one solution and show the capabilities or features, they would be able to sell it more effectively, and as resellers, we could sell it to customers more easily. The technical support is responsive, but sometimes we experience limitations regarding the ability to add licensing. They could implement a self-service platform for assigning new licenses or ordering more. Currently, we depend on contacting someone who sends a new contract to sign through the process. They could change their licensing model, though I am not the right person to comment on functionality. On the reporting side, everything is covered.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Huntress Managed ITDR examines various nulls from the M365 tenants. If anything suspicious is identified, their SOC analysts can take a closer look and subsequently take action."
"I rate the overall solution as a ten out of ten."
"The main takeaway is that the solution, not just this, the solution in general, the EDR as well, has allowed me to expand revenue, but more importantly, protect my clients in a way I have never been able to do before."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The advice I would give others looking into Huntress Managed ITDR is that it is a strong product that is easy to implement and fairly priced."

"The maintenance for Huntress Managed ITDR requires no maintenance on my end; it is self-reliant in that once it is set up, it does most of the heavy lifting, and you really just have to review alerts as it monitors for any issues."
"The centralized management with the EDR and ITDR is beneficial."
"The most valuable feature, which I can describe as the '360 vision' of the inventory device, provides a complete view of all the devices."

Cons

"I see improvements to the HaloPSA integration as something that could be better; it would be good to see more information in the ticket raised."
"One area that has room for improvement with Huntress Managed ITDR is that there was a gap with detections inside of America."
"Huntress Managed ITDR could improve by cleaning up the dashboard interface."
"If we have a client that only has M365 Business Standard, all of the MFA details just show as unknown."
"The product needs further maturity, with some improvements in the user interface."
"In Huntress Managed ITDR, the customization of detections and alert filtering has room for improvement."
"In areas where Huntress Managed ITDR could improve, I would suggest exclusions and the ability to add whitelisting for file types or select files, making it more transparent."
"More in-depth reporting could be beneficial for the solution."
"I would like to see them add support for both Android and iOS smartphones."
"We have a lot of false positives we see in the dashboard. I think this is the only problem we are facing."
"I would rate the scalability as seven out of ten. The capability is useful. Concerning the license, if I add one more device without a license, it will automatically subscribe to a license. I do not appreciate that."
