Anto Baharian - PeerSpot reviewer
Never misses anything and has an attractive price point and a simple interface
One thing they could improve is evolving from an EDR to an MDR, like Blackpoint. This transition would enable automatic remediation of anything that looks dangerous, including within Microsoft 365. For instance, when one of my clients' Microsoft 365 account was breached, Blackpoint identified suspicious activity and disabled the account. It was in Dallas, and we are in California. Blackpoint knew something was wrong there, and they went in and disabled the account. Developing more automated remediation features would elevate them to an MDR level, but I understand that it might affect pricing. They are trying to keep it at a good price point because once they go to MDR, it is probably going to double the price. For now, I find the current features satisfactory, as they continue to add improvements. They have added security awareness training and then log collectors. They are adding pillars as they move along, and I assume they are going to have an option for MDR.

The tool provides excellent sandboxing and email security features, but the backup and recovery features are not good
If my primary solution is down, no backup solution is available to restore it. It is one of the biggest weaknesses of the platform. If I need to update the solution, there is no option to pick the events and the logs from it and deploy it in another solution. The backup and recovery features of the product are not good. I need backup. If the tool is down for some time, I cannot get the logs at that particular time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The EDR tools are the most beneficial. We protect all our clients' endpoints through their security operation center, which runs through the EDR. We like that it's a small installation that doesn't take up much processing space, and we can quickly install it on our machines. We push out the agents automatically and get everybody up and running quickly."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress Managed EDR is its personalized approach."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"The stability is perfect."
"Users usually note improvements in a matter of days. In others, it is immediately. It varies according to the environment."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"Huntress has improved our security dramatically."
"The email security feature is really good."
"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."
"The solution is very easy to use. Its interface is very simple, and you can build IOC's indicators. You can use your rules to detect these attacks because you can leverage threat intelligence. Y"
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."
"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
 

Cons

"One thing they could improve is evolving from an EDR to an MDR, like Blackpoint. This transition would enable automatic remediation of anything that looks dangerous, including within Microsoft 365."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"I had been requesting Huntress support for macOS for a while, and they recently rolled it out, making it generally available within two months. Having a regular support line would be good."
"One issue is the managed antivirus. Huntress takes control of the antivirus built into Windows Defender, but it doesn't if, for some reason, Defender isn't working properly and doesn't attempt to fix it. We have to fix it with some scripts so that Defender reports correctly to Huntress. It would be nice if they took that action on our behalf. If they saw a problem with Defender, they should roll out a fix."
"Installing Huntress on a Mac presents a challenge for end users due to the operating system's security features, which require administrator privileges for installation."
"We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"There should be more engagement with the MSP group or their largest clients. They should have focus group discussions on what they can do to improve the product."
"The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."
"In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system."
"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"I think the tool is still not really good enough for integration compared to other products."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is not a good product. We had problems with endpoints and the solution did not detect it. We didn't get any alerts about the attack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model for Huntress is similar to competitors and is charged per endpoint."
"While other options have emerged since Huntress' arrival, I believe it still offers the best value for the features and services it provides."
"The pricing is competitive, in line with Huntress's offerings, and aligns well with our business model."
"The tool’s price is very good. You just need to pay for the standard license. However, you need to pay the additional cost for Microsoft Defender."
"It is fair. They provide good value for the product that they deliver. I have had one price increase in the entire time I have used them. They added a bunch of features and then said that they have to increase our price a little bit. That is a fair way to handle it."
"The solution is cheap compared to other alternatives. It offers good value for money. For the whole solution, it's up to about five pounds per device per month. Considering what it does, I think that's very good value."
"I believe Huntress offers competitive pricing overall."
"The solution's pricing is fair."
"The solution has competitive pricing."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is cheap."
"Kaspersky is one of the cheaper solutions."
