The automatic remediation feature of Huntress Managed EDR is very effective because at midnight, around 2:00 AM, if there is an alert while I am sleeping, I know my organization remains safe.

Customer support for Huntress Managed EDR could have been better. Although there is a dedicated representative, after the initial onboarding conversation, there was not much follow-up until renewal came up.

I would like to see an easier way to whitelist sites or to monitor some of the reporting that Huntress Managed EDR does.

One downside of Huntress Managed EDR, compared to the CrowdStrike agent, is that it takes a longer time to push it out to all of our endpoints and ensure everything is configured correctly.

Regarding Huntress Managed EDR, they could add more features when compared to another EDR platform, SentinelOne.

Incident reporting could be a little bit cleaner.

Using Huntress Managed EDR has not reduced our need for expensive security tools or hiring expensive security analysts, as we run redundancy and maintain all that in-house while Huntress serves as a partner, not a replacement.

I would suggest making the cost a little bit lower.

In terms of room for improvement for Huntress Managed EDR, I think that if they could work with maybe other antivirus vendors to sort of work together with those, it would be beneficial because I know they work with Microsoft Defender, but we chose not to do that.

Other products are a little more flashy and might have a little more marketing prowess because they have such a huge amount of information and they have security maps and threat portals and all sorts of features that we don't necessarily find to help security, but they do help those products when you're showing them to clients.

While Huntress Managed EDR is a growing company adding innovations, one area that could improve is the time it took for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint integration, and the need to enhance detections on the Microsoft ecosystem is also evident, although I am confident they will succeed.
