Finds password files and offers extra protection to customer machines
Huntress helps us replace traditional antivirus solutions with an EDR. I like how easy it is to use and deploy. Support is good- they've responded quickly when I've had issues. I like it a lot so far. It reports valuable information and filters out things I don't need to know. The solution is easy to learn. I like the scanning it does for M365. We use Datto RMM for remote machine support. Huntress has a built-in component for Datto RMM that we can deploy immediately. I can push Huntress out to machines in about eight minutes. It does what it's supposed to do, which is amazing. The tool is suitable for small to medium businesses. It monitors everything going on with their machines and their Microsoft 365 tenant if they have one. Even if they don't have their IT department, it can help flag issues. The main benefit our customers see is the additional security Huntress provides. We've found that it reports many password files people save on their machines. For example, it might find a Word document full of passwords on someone's desktop. Just highlighting that this is happening is a valuable part of the service. Previously, I had to go through all the alerts myself and figure out what was important and what wasn't. Now, my time is freed up to deal with the important alerts. I don't have to spend time finding what's important - it's already right before me. It highlights when new mailbox rules are created in Microsoft 365, which helps us spot breached accounts. It also finds valuable password files on machines. This is one of the biggest security risks—if someone gets into a machine and finds a password file on the desktop, they can easily access things they shouldn't. We could see the solution's benefits from the very first minute of its deployment.

Comes with a serial number which you can connect to your firewall
The solution helps to detect vulnerabilities.  SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall.  The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't.  I have been using the product for three years.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"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."
"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."
"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."
"The solution serves as a very stable platform."
"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."
 

Cons

"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
"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'd like it if Huntress could scan for software that's out of date or has open vulnerabilities. That would be useful for us. Scanning for vulnerable software would be helpful. Also, we've set it up to create a ticket in our ticketing system when there's an alert. It would be nice if closing that ticket would also close the Huntress alert. It doesn't do that right now, but they're working on adding that feature."
"The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."
"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."
"They should improve their user interface."
"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."
"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."
"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
"While other options have emerged since Huntress' arrival, I believe it still offers the best value for the features and services it provides."
"Huntress is priced fairly for the services and value it provides."
"The pricing model for Huntress is similar to competitors and is charged per endpoint."
"It is simple. It is reasonable. They raised my prices this year. We never like price increases, but they continue to add value, so we just keep adding agents as we grow and as our clients grow."
"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."
"It works well for an MSP."
"The pricing is competitive, in line with Huntress's offerings, and aligns well with our business model."
"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
"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."
