Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients. However, what truly convinced us to make it a core part of our security stack, instead of just deploying it selectively based on specific needs, was Huntress' introduction of Managed AV. This allowed us to replace our basic antivirus solution often Windows Defender for our predominantly Windows environment with a more robust option managed by Huntress. Managed AV essentially made Huntress our new baseline antivirus, replacing Windows Defender, while still allowing us to utilize premium solutions like SentinelOne for specific situations. Ultimately, this shift enabled us to expand our footprint from around 400-500 machines to an impressive 4,600.

I rate the initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy. In general, the solution's initial setup is pretty straightforward. The solution is deployed on a public cloud. The time taken to deploy the solution depends on the size of my company's customers, but I can say that it does not take too long. The deployment process is simple, but it’s time-consuming part stems from the need to put the policy in place, considering which I can say that it takes around four hours presently. One person was required for the deployment process.

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. It is very easy to use. You install it, and then it does its thing, and it tells you when it needs you to do something. It does what it says on the box. It is a good solution for the SMB market. When you get to the enterprise level, there are other solutions that can do similar things with other enterprise-type price points, but for up to mid-market, and even small enterprises, it is a very good bang for your buck. You can also use Huntress for big enterprises.
