Identity monitoring has strengthened threat detection and reduced manual investigations
The best features that Huntress Managed ITDR offers include identity threat detection and monitoring, suspicious login and authentication detection, compromised account identification, privilege escalation monitoring, Microsoft 365 and identity environment visibility, managed SOC investigation and threat response, and automated remediation capabilities. The human-led investigation and remediation aspect of Huntress Managed ITDR is important in my security operations because human-led investigation and remediation are essential for my security operations. While automated detection helps identify suspicious identity activities quickly, human expertise is crucial for understanding the context, validating threats, and avoiding unnecessary disruptions. I assess the effectiveness of the 24/7 human-led detection and response for identity threats in Microsoft 365 environments positively because identity threats can occur outside of regular business hours, and continuous monitoring combined with expert investigation helps identify suspicious sign-ins, compromised accounts, and unusual authentication activities. I have used the unwanted access detection feature, and it is very important because it helps improve visibility into unusual authentication activity and provides useful information for investigating potential identity-based threats, particularly in identifying suspicious sign-ins that bypass MFA. We are using the Shadow Workflows feature, and its ability to detect attacker-created inbox rules and automation is valuable, particularly in Microsoft 365 environments, as such detection helps uncover hidden forwarding rules, automatic email redirection, and other persistent techniques used by attackers. I consider the Rogue Apps OAuth abuse protection feature to be important for identity security, particularly in Microsoft 365 environments, as it helps identify potentially risky OAuth applications that may request excessive permissions or gain unauthorized access to organizational data. I use the incident report timeline feature, and it provides a structured view of security events, investigation activities, and remediation steps, supporting internal audits and incident reviews by providing a clearer evidence trail. I have utilized the mass outbound phishing detection feature, and it is effective for identifying compromised accounts that may be sending malicious emails to multiple recipients, which is especially important in Microsoft 365 environments.

Has supported real-time event detection and reporting accuracy while database integration has required extra effort
Sometimes it may be difficult to incorporate new additional databases in NetMon, and we faced some challenges at that time. However, currently, it is not giving many challenges.It is difficult to integrate NetMon with other databases. We can customize NetMon's monitoring views, but it is done by the team who handles it, as it is outsourced.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Human expertise is crucial for understanding the context, validating threats, and avoiding unnecessary disruptions."
"My favorite feature of Huntress Managed ITDR is the automatic alerting and the automatic remediation."
"Huntress Managed ITDR has helped me detect identity threats extremely effectively; Compromised accounts are managed extremely well because we often get sign-ins from unknown locations faster than a client is aware their account is compromised."
"The analyst from Huntress is quite useful in the way they help to monitor and detect activity that I would never have seen before if I had not deployed Huntress."
"However, with Huntress Managed ITDR, we don't have to deal with those scenarios because they simply don't happen."
"I would definitely recommend Huntress Managed ITDR to other users because it is easy to use, and it does not provide too many false positives, which is very important, especially when you are dealing with a company the size that we are; we really need to focus on actionable alerts, and it is the best tool that we have found for protecting the Microsoft 365 environment."
"The best features of Huntress Managed ITDR include the overview provided in the Huntress dashboard, which allows me to immediately see risky users, the state of identities per customer, and which signals are investigated and which are not."
"Compared to many other products in the market, I think LogRhythm has the highest cost to performance ratio in terms of its value."
"We were sold on the product based on the fairly narrow use cases that the sales reps gave us, and what we're seeing during our usage is that we can get there, and we're very excited about the potential."
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"We are using NetMon's real-time traffic analysis regularly with a team of four members who effectively monitor all alerts and events, which has helped them identify whether there could be a severe incident."
"But just having it there, it's incredibly smart, incredibly easy to use, and the breadth of information we get off it is really good for investigations for us."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"
"In general, this is a good product."
 

Cons

"One area that has room for improvement with Huntress Managed ITDR is that there was a gap with detections inside of America."
"One thing about how Huntress Managed ITDR can be improved is that there are times in which we do not necessarily need to be engaged, and isolation can be triggered automatically so we do not have to do it."
"One challenge has been applying rules to staff only due to the option in the VPN rules where I can either deny all VPNs for the organization or do case-by-case exceptions, with no in-between."
"While it is good to have those escalations, one of the downsides is that we receive many escalations, and I believe approximately seven out of ten are false positives."
"I chose a rating of nine out of ten because of the improvements that I have suggested."
"More in-depth reporting could be beneficial for the solution."
"Improvements for Huntress Managed ITDR could include enhancing the dashboard."
"Setting up and managing exceptions in Huntress Managed ITDR does come with challenges, primarily because we often fail to document our own processes."
"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."
"The platform's integration features often need to be improved."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"Our customers would always like to see additional features."
"The main concern is that LogRhythm has not improved NetMon but instead introduced a separate product, which many customers, including us, would prefer to be integrated into a single platform for easier management."
"LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."
"Sometimes it may be difficult to incorporate new additional databases in NetMon, and we faced some challenges at that time."

"The price of this solution is too high, so it should be made more practical and more valuable for the customer."
