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.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"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."
"I immediately recognized the benefits of Huntress Managed EDR."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress Managed EDR is its personalized approach."
"We saw the benefits of Huntress pretty quickly. Once it started detecting threats, it was great."
"Huntress is easy to use. It immediately improved visibility and understanding of our security posture."
"It is a ten out of ten in terms of ease of use."
"The stability is perfect."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Low performance requirements."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
 

Cons

"We are still getting many false positives."
"Not every time, but sometimes when we click on the remediation, the auto-resolution of the alert, the screen gets stuck, and I need to contact support so they can confirm the remediation was applied, and they have to close the ticket."
"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."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"The reporting could be improved by providing a more simplified report that can be easily understood by clients."
"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."
"I had been requesting Huntress support for macOS for a while, and they recently rolled it out, making it generally available within two months. Having a regular support line would be good."
"We have been working on it, but their Rio agent has been having some issues trying to repair itself."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe Huntress offers competitive pricing overall."
"Huntress Managed EDR offers a fair pricing model."
"The pricing is competitive, in line with Huntress's offerings, and aligns well with our business model."
"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
"We haven't had any problems with Huntress' pricing. We're at 250 workstations, and we've grown considerably this year. They've been able to handle everything that we've thrown at them within that time frame. They're also reducing the price based on how many endpoints we add."
"It works well for an MSP."
"Huntress has a favourable pricing structure, and I appreciate the cost-effectiveness compared to previous solutions."
"The pricing model for Huntress is similar to competitors and is charged per endpoint."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"It is relatively cheap."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
