Cisco XDR vs. Huntress

I enjoy how well it integrates Cisco systems to provide a single pane of glass for security events that are easily digestible to the SOC. However there is room for improvement to integrate more seamlessly with non Cisco products. XDR is great to identify where malicious processes are in the MITR kill chain and is useful for threat analysis.

Huntress is great for a managed service provider to provide a better cybersecurity stack to their endpoints/customers. Some smaller clients cannot afford high-priced SOC services but require SOC-level protection. Along with a couple of other layers of security, Huntress provides peace of mind for the MSP that if a threat were to arise, they would be notified with specific instructions for dealing with that threat.

• Using the latest industry knowledge of threats that have been ongoing, but not previously known and projecting it back in time against their installed endpoints to identify machines that are vulnerable or breached and when it these events occurred
• Very quiet. If they alert, it is a thing.
• Very good at remediation.
• They communicate extremely well when it matters.
• While there are the most extensive products more often than not they are the first to alert us to a threat.

• Now that they have EDR capability, they need to fully participate in MITRE testing for direct comparison against other EDR products.
• Now that they are going into Managed Antivirus and EDR with isolation capabilities they need to update their SLA comparative to other vendors
• Support for non-Windows OSes for consistency in a network
• It would be nice to seed canary files in custom shares on servers.

We dropped SentinelOne in favor of Huntress because the UI was much more simplistic for the tier 1 techs to maintain. It beats the old web design model of three clicks to where you want to go. It is very intuitive. No one needs training to figure out how to navigate its console.

While both products were both easy to use and would have fit our environment, we are a very heavy Cisco shop and Cisco Cisco XDR fit better with the rest of our software portfolio. Stellar Cyber has some additional functionality in addition to Cisco XDR but the cost difference didn't work with our budget.

Firstly from a business model, [VMware] Carbon Black [Cloud Managed Detection] was not outfitted for the MSP where Huntress is very MSP-friendly from an affordably easy point to entry to value for money licensing. Carbon Black TS is not bad in anyway, well, that we found, but Huntress is a new layer of security that fits between the OS and AV layers to provide additional information, monitoring, and detection. With Huntress backing the MSP, [it] sure does help as well.

• The impact Cisco XDR has on our organization's overall business objectives is that, in our experience, Cisco XDR Accelerates incident detection

• We have been able to lower operational costs by shifting to Huntress.
• We've been able to cut costs to our clients by utilizing Huntress over competing products.
• In spite of inflation, we've been able to keep our managed service prices at a steady, below market rate, because of Huntress.
