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.

Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface

I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Huntress works more simply. I appreciate how Windows Defender can be managed on computers with it. Previously, I could not modify it unless I had special Microsoft licensing, so it was beneficial to control Windows Defender through a central console to add policies and things like that."

"Huntress has improved our security dramatically."

"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."

"Huntress is extremely well-written software. I used to be a developer, and I see how they've written it. It's excellent. I've never had an issue with it crashing a machine. It's small, tight code."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it has a manned security operation center, not AI-driven."

"Huntress Managed EDR eliminates the need to outsource expensive security tools or analysts, avoiding the high costs associated with external solutions."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

"I rate Huntress Managed EDR a ten out of ten."

More Huntress Managed EDR pros

"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."

"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"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 initial setup is straightforward."

"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."

"The product’s interface is easy to use."

Cons

"The reporting could be improved by providing a more simplified report that can be easily understood by clients."

"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."

"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."

"To enhance the platform, I suggest adding a feature to forward Huntress's recommended response directly to the client, ensuring their clear understanding of the gathered information."

"The ITDR product is coming along great, however, we are still getting many false positives."

"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 am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365."

"The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications."

More Huntress Managed EDR cons

"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 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."

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"They should improve their user interface."

"The implementation is not easy."

"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It works well for an MSP."

"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."

"The solution's pricing is fair."

"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."

"I rate the product pricing six out of ten for the Malaysian market. However, I would rate it a three out of ten for the Australian, New Zealand, or Singapore markets."

"Huntress is an easy sell to clients because it does all the heavy lifting. Sometimes, they will buck a little at the price because they want a free antivirus or EDR. We tell them that we use Huntress on all our machines. That is our standard process for all the machines we roll out. When we give that advice, people are pretty willing to say okay."

"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."

"I believe Huntress Managed EDR is fairly priced. The value I get from it in terms of peace of mind justifies the expense. You can justify it as a business expense."

More Huntress Managed EDR pricing and cost advice

"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."
