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."

"The endpoint protection is definitely the most impactful feature for clients. It just works. It is a set-it-and-forget-it type of solution."

"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its ability to isolate legacy systems from the network, preventing the spread of threats."

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

"Their SOC is super responsive and does a great job of catching incidences and being on top of any issues that arise."

"After deployment, it takes some time to scan and process everything. Huntress has effectively flagged issues such as password files on desktops, which it identifies as low-level alerts. It also handles more significant threats effectively."

"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."

"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."

More Huntress Managed EDR pros

"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 has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"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."

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

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

Cons

"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."

"Ultimately, the clarity of their alerts is paramount for effective threat communication and could benefit from clearer remediation steps."

"One issue is the managed antivirus. Huntress takes control of the antivirus built into Windows Defender, but it doesn't if, for some reason, Defender isn't working properly and doesn't attempt to fix it. We have to fix it with some scripts so that Defender reports correctly to Huntress. It would be nice if they took that action on our behalf. If they saw a problem with Defender, they should roll out a fix."

"Installing Huntress on a Mac presents a challenge for end users due to the operating system's security features, which require administrator privileges for installation."

"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."

"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."

"Huntress has a cyber education platform, but it lacks all the languages we need. Since we support customers in different countries, expanding the language options for their training would be beneficial."

"Huntress should have a more user-friendly interface because it takes some understanding to work our way through the interfaces."

More Huntress Managed EDR cons

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."

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

"The implementation is not easy."

"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

"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."

"They should improve their user interface."

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

More SonicWall Capture Client cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huntress Managed EDR offers a fair pricing model."

"The tool’s price is very good. You just need to pay for the standard license. However, you need to pay the additional cost for Microsoft Defender."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I believe Huntress offers competitive pricing overall."

"It works well for an MSP."

"Huntress has a favourable pricing structure, and I appreciate the cost-effectiveness compared to previous solutions."

More Huntress Managed EDR pricing and cost advice

"The product is very expensive."

"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."
