It struggles with scalability when dealing with high logs, multi-site, multi-tenant setups, and large volumes of endpoints.

The managed approach is particularly helpful in this regard because the security team does not have to spend a lot of time maintaining the underlying SIEM infrastructure.

The centralized log collection and smart filtering also help keep data volume and alert noise manageable as workload increases.

Room For Improvement

Huntress Managed SIEM users seek improved alert triage, integrations, customization, automation, UI simplicity, and enhanced visibility and control.
USM Anywhere requires enhancements in IPv6 support, usability, integration, report creation, GUI design, and deployment complexity.
It would be helpful to have more flexibility for creating custom detection rules, dashboards, and alert workflows based on specific organizational requirements.

It is very important for our organization that Huntress Managed SIEM offers security and compliance solutions without complexity because we do not want a product that is generally too difficult to use.

I would like Huntress Managed SIEM to integrate with EDRs like SentinelOne to combine that level of intelligence and information into their stack.
Director, Engineering & Services Professional at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks.

Setup Cost

Huntress Managed SIEM offers easy setup and cost-efficient pricing based on data sources, aiding in predictable budgeting.
USM Anywhere is praised for competitive pricing and flexible licensing, appealing to SMBs with comprehensive, cost-effective features.
I believe most competitors charge by the data slightly differently compared to how this solution does, as it is per data source rather than data size in gigabytes.

I did not have to spend more than what I initially budgeted for.
Head of Business Operations at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees

USM Anywhere offers centralized logging, IDS, vulnerability scanning, scalability, third-party integration, real-time alerts, and comprehensive support resources.
Huntress Managed SIEM combines machine detection with human investigation, which adds context and helps confirm if something is actually a threat rather than just noise.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Regarding the feature that requires no alert tuning, we are using the advanced filtering so we only see actionable events and not lots of noise, which filters out any false positives or areas of no concern.
Technical Account Manager at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
Huntress Managed SIEM has helped in both angles, improving efficiency in SOC operations where the mean time to detect is drastically reduced.
Head of Business Operations at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees

Featured Reviews

reviewer2902929 - PeerSpot reviewer
SOAR Catalyst at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Centralized monitoring has reduced manual investigations and supports 24x7 threat response
Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved if there were more flexible dashboards or reporting options for different clients and security requirements, if it had more powerful filtering and correlation capabilities, just like Wazuh, and also broader native integrations with firewalls, cloud platforms, and third-party security tools. Alert customization is important. One area where I would like to see improvements is the reporting. More detailed, customizable reports which show security trends, incident timelines, and response metrics would be beneficial. The reason I chose nine out of ten is that the improvements I was discussing, which include dashboard customization and advanced filtering options, would make it easier for me to conduct investigations. The advanced log filtering and reporting flexibility also need some tuning. More control over these features would make daily investigations much easier.
