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.

A stable solution that is used for endpoint security and to protect computers from malware
We are using the latest version of SonicWall Capture Client. Fortinet is ahead of SonicWall. The range of appliances, equipment, availability in my country with the distributors, and the overall ecosystem of Fortinet is way better than SonicWall. My advice to others looking into using SonicWall Capture Client is to keep giving feedback to the companies regarding whatever improvements should be made. Overall, I rate SonicWall Capture Client an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its ability to isolate legacy systems from the network, preventing the spread of threats."
"The customer support provided by Huntress is impeccable. Their product is easy to deploy and manage, and the portal setup for Managed Service Providers is excellent. A lot of companies do not do that very well."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"Huntress Managed EDR has helped me reduce the need for expensive security tools or to hire expensive security analysts."
"The features of Huntress that I found helpful are the one-click remediation piece and the ability for me to reach out to their customer service reps and get this under control when there is a threat."
"We saw the benefits of Huntress pretty quickly. Once it started detecting threats, it was great."
"Huntress Managed EDR is very easy to use. It's geared towards your Windows user who wants convenience. You just need an EXE file to get started. It's set up for convenience to make it easy for you to have security, as opposed to some of the complexities behind the scenes that you don't see."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress Managed EDR is its personalized approach."
"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."
"The solution serves as a very stable platform."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."
"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."
"Considering other products, SonicWall Capture Client has two differentiators."
"The product’s interface is easy to use."
"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"The reporting could be improved by providing a more simplified report that can be easily understood by clients. A way to present the data to the client so they understand its importance would be beneficial."
"I also would love for them to make their new SIEM tool reports much more robust. They are currently way too simplified, and we need to have something better to send to our compliance clients."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"The product could be improved in terms of customization options available for reports."
"Huntress has a cyber education platform, but it lacks all the languages we need."
"The existing features are perfect. However, I think they could add a more robust set of security features like dark web scanning, penetration testing, and risk assessment for clients. We would have one tool for everything. We wouldn't have to go to multiple vendors to pull something together. That would be more beneficial for us."
"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."
"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."
"They should improve their user interface."
"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."
"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."
"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."
"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."
"XDR cannot be used unless MDR services are purchased with SonicWall."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
"It is very fair. I started at $2.50 and now I am at $3.50. When I signed up, I thought it was too cheap. It now reflects the price. It is very fair. I do not think you can find anything better."
"Regarding the pricing for Huntress Managed EDR, I was amazed when I heard the price; I thought it was going to be way more than what it is based on the quality."
"It works well for an MSP."
"We haven't had any problems with Huntress' pricing. We're at 250 workstations, and we've grown considerably this year. They've been able to handle everything that we've thrown at them within that time frame. They're also reducing the price based on how many endpoints we add."
"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."
"While other options have emerged since Huntress' arrival, I believe it still offers the best value for the features and services it provides."
"I rate the product's price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive since it is a fairly priced product."
"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."
"The product is very expensive."
"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
