Excellent Product, Excellent Support, Excellent Price

5.0 last year

Pros:

Support is number 1 in my opinion, the team behind Huntress are second to none, always available and willing to help and know their stuff. The product is light on machines, has a great dashboard and alerting is wonderful.

Cons:

Would love for it to integrate with Defender for Business instead of just the free Windows Defender.

Great MDR product for MSPs

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: It is very well tuned to the MSP model. The Huntress team has built their product to play very nicely with a multi tenant IT management model. Everything can be partitioned granularly, and the integrations/rollout of the product are extremely easy.

Pros:

-The Huntress team reviews and classifies severity of alerts before they get to our team, which reduces our workload. They also include remediation plans and work with us if needed. -The rollout/integrations were very smooth and out clients didn't experience negative issues as a result of the rollout. -The pricing model works very well for the SMB market.

Cons:

It is not as advanced as other software like a SentinelOne or a Crowdstrike, but it can work well in tandem with them.

Huntress EDR - Easy setup to get started

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

The community/culture of the Huntress team is great. Joining their weekly groups is great education on what is going on in today's world.

Cons:

I feel as if it is playing catchup or adding needed services JUST behind other competitors. I wish there was also a built in script for deployment rather than customized one.
