Whether there are ten users or three hundred, it attaches to the Microsoft tenant, making it effortless to scale.

Room For Improvement

Huntress Managed ITDR needs UI maturity, better reporting, speed improvements, and enhanced integrations for a refined user experience.
Enhancements in pricing, false positives, integrations, dashboard usability, and AI integration are needed to improve SentinelOne Wayfinder.
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
Additionally, for C-suite executives, there can be more non-technical content that provides a bird's eye view of organizational risk posture, rather than just detailed technical analyses.
Presales Manager at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
Regarding disadvantages of SentinelOne Vigilance, there is no local hub server that I can use to download the updates and signatures only once.
Managing Director at MaDaTec GmbH
The approximate reduction of the time to respond to incidents has been considerably improved, and it has really helped to reduce that time.
Manager, Technical Team at Expert It Solutions Alberta
 

Setup Cost

Huntress Managed ITDR offers competitive pricing and value, with positive reviews for affordability and comprehensive security services.
SentinelOne Wayfinder's pricing is high per device but valued by users; affordability varies with services and device count.
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
The pricing, licensing, and setup costs in general are quite affordable.
Managing Director at MaDaTec GmbH
 

Valuable Features

Huntress Managed ITDR offers comprehensive security with endpoint protection, real-time monitoring, and customizable alerts, enhancing IT efficiency.
SentinelOne Wayfinder MDR offers advanced analytics, easy integration, robust protection, real-time monitoring, and machine learning-driven security enhancements.
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
I am actually able to synthesize machine learning with human experience to manage complex threats in IRs.
Managing Director at MaDaTec GmbH
The false positive rate in SentinelOne Singularity MDR is considerably lower compared to other solutions.

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.
Prathamesh Samant - PeerSpot reviewer
Presales Manager at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
Effective integration and threat hunting capabilities boost operational ease, but interface improvements are needed
I would like to improve the dashboard in SentinelOne Singularity MDR, as it could be much better, along with the reporting structure. The granularity of policies and ease of policy management from the console could be made better, while my experience from a feature standpoint has been good overall. Regarding summary reports provided from SentinelOne Singularity MDR, I find the reporting structure could be much better in terms of granularity. Additionally, for C-suite executives, there can be more non-technical content that provides a bird's eye view of organizational risk posture, rather than just detailed technical analyses. This high-level perspective on the organization's risk would be highly beneficial at the management level.
