My advice to others looking into using Huntress Managed EDR is that if they're looking for an easy-to-use and manage solution, Huntress Managed EDR is a good fit for a small to medium company.
Director, Information Technology at Middletown Medical
Huntress Managed EDR provides validated detections, detailed threat context, and recommendations from the SOC team, our engineers can focus on responding to legitimate threats rather than manually reviewing large numbers of low priority alerts.

Room For Improvement

A more transparent way for the support team at Huntress and our IT team to collaborate to make it faster and easier would be beneficial.
VCIO at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Huntress Managed EDR indicated this is a normal behavior, but I would prefer to be alerted whenever there is any incident involving Windows Defender on any machines, regardless of the status of the incident.
Managing Director at KAN iT
Additional dashboard customization, more granular alert filtering options, and enhanced executive level reporting would help teams present security insights more effectively to their clients.
Professional Services Engineer at Next7 IT
The first is the Business Email Compromise (BEC) issue. Even though we configured the business email compromise option, we still face this issue sometimes where people are getting emails directly with our email ID.

Setup Cost

Huntress Managed EDR offers competitive, flexible pricing with excellent value and user-friendly setup and licensing processes.
Trend Micro pricing is mixed; some find it affordable, others pricey, yet it's valued despite higher costs than competitors.
The savings from utilizing the included Windows Defender offset the cost of Huntress Managed EDR, making it an affordable solution overall.

It is not too expensive or too cheap. It is just right.

Valuable Features

Huntress Managed EDR offers 24/7 SOC expertise, automated remediation, and seamless integration with Microsoft Defender for robust SMB protection.
Trend Micro Worry-Free Services offers comprehensive protection with behavior detection, integration, and multi-tenancy, but pricing concerns persist.
What stands out most is their human element: when faced with an unknown threat, real people, not just automated processes, are investigating it, and they're people we trust.
CTO at Accent Consulting
They provide detailed remediation steps, explaining why an issue is a problem and what steps to take.
Business Owner at Royal 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.
Owner at Antra Tech
Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites has an inbuilt auto scan facility.
Information Technology Administrator at Enterstellar Softwares(OPC) Pvt Ltd
We can get in-depth details of the emails going in and out, and we can create rules.

Abhishek Saini - PeerSpot reviewer
Professional Services Engineer at Next7 IT
Managed detection has transformed incident response and now delivers faster, focused protection
Overall, my experience with Huntress Managed EDR has been very positive. If I were to suggest improvements, I would like to see more advanced customization and reporting capabilities, particularly for MSPs managing multiple clients. For example, additional dashboard customization, more granular alert filtering options, and enhanced executive level reporting would help teams present security insights more effectively to their clients. Deeper integrations with a broader range of third party security and IT management platforms could also streamline workflows and reduce the need to switch between multiple tools. Another area of improvement would be expanding automation options for common remediation tasks, allowing security teams to respond even more quickly to certain types of threats while maintaining appropriate control. These are more enhancements than shortcomings, as Huntress Managed EDR already provides strong threat detection, excellent SOC support, and an easy-to-manage platform that delivers significant value in day-to-day operations. A few additional enhancements would make the platform even stronger, especially for MSPs managing a large number of endpoints and clients. From a user interface perspective, I would like to see more customizable dashboards that allow engineers to tailor views based on the client's priorities, threat levels, or operational metrics. Another useful feature would be additional automation and authorization options for common response actions such as isolating devices, initiating remediation workflows, or integrating with ticketing systems and SIEM platforms. Overall, these would be valuable additions, but they do not take away from the core strength of Huntress Managed EDR.

Achieve effective email management while identifying areas for security upgrades
There are a couple of issues we have encountered while using Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites for the past four or five years. The first is the Business Email Compromise (BEC) issue. Even though we configured the business email compromise option, we still face this issue sometimes where people are getting emails directly with our email ID. We were not able to get a satisfactory answer from them regarding the BEC issue. The ransomware protection issue for the old servers or outdated servers and recovery of the data needs improvement in Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites. The ransomware protection issue for old servers and business email compromise also needs to be upgraded because even though it's configured, we still face this BEC issue. The response time of the support also needs improvement.
