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.

Automated security monitoring increases efficiency, but market visibility needs improvement
I am currently evaluating Stellar Cyber Open XDR in terms of their support. I do not see any major areas for improvement as of now. Their support is good, and the team is small, enabling them to cater to everyone effectively. While I have not encountered significant drawbacks so far, market penetration is challenging due to the product's newness, despite its flexibility and customization features. I find their user interface to be quite good.

Cons

"One area that has room for improvement with Huntress Managed ITDR is that there was a gap with detections inside of America."
"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."
"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."
"In Huntress Managed ITDR, the customization of detections and alert filtering has room for improvement."
"If anything, it's created more work, but that's because we're now seeing things that we weren't seeing before."
"If I had to say a dislike would be I wish there was a little bit more customization."
"Setting up and managing exceptions in Huntress Managed ITDR does come with challenges, primarily because we often fail to document our own processes."
"If we have a client that only has M365 Business Standard, all of the MFA details just show as unknown."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
