Huntress vs. Mimecast Threat Intelligence

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.

I think Mimecast is great for companies who want granular control over their email. Once it is setup, it really does just run along without IT needing to get involved too much. Any time we have 'issues' - such as incorrectly blocked emails or attachments, we can easily figure out what we need to do and how to fix it. Mimecast is great for teams who don't want to sit there all day and manage and look at emails. It would suit a large organisation who want deep control.

• Because all incoming and outgoing (with journaling setup for internal email) go through Mimecast it is a one-stop-shop for searching out emails from past months or years. It is light years better than using local archives such as .pst files.
• Since they touch all incoming email Mimecast is excellent our filtering out spam, malware and virus emails before it even gets to your server whether on-premise or in the cloud.

• [I] would like to see more SOC as a Service - service from them.
• [I would also like] improved Intune integration, especially with Windows Defender and the rest of the suite.

• The interface for the threat intel dashboard could use some updating
• Slowness in the console persists occassionally

It works perfectly and is really easy to manage when you understand the menu and how it works. It really is 'set and forget' with minor changes needed from time to time to blacklist and whitelist senders and domains. It makes our life really easy and gives us a lot of data to understand how or business and users operate.

Mimecast has a 24 hours phone hotline available to assist you with issues as they arise. This is the typical help desk situation where you reach level one and go to level two if this issue is extensive however I have found their level one techs to more than capable of dealing with most issues I have called about. The only negative I would mention is that their email support is less hardy when it comes to response time so I have grown to realize that calling is the only way to get timely support.

I was shown the areas we would need to use and understand, along with the settings. It was perfect as it didn't go too deep.

Pre-EDR Huntress is really unique in what it does. It is hard to directly compare that against anything since it is changed based

we were not using any other products before Mimecast. It is working perfectly as per our needs.

• Detections that antivirus misses
• Their price doubled recently so I had to talk to clients about the increase.
• The ROI is immediate for some clients and hasn't detected anything at others.

Incentivized

• Saves time and manpower as the console can easily be managed by 1 person
• Using the continuity feature could potentially save an email outage from preventing an organization from conducting business.
