    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.

    Email, web browser, and data storage areas will fulfill the security of mobile devices very well. It provides multiple methods of data filtering and classification to ensure important data can be well protected. Unfortunately, it does not support you to make regex-based definitions. for this reason, you need to work on the rules a lot. Another disadvantage is that it cannot monitor Linux systems.

    Pros
    Huntress Labs Incorporated
    • 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.

    Cons
    Huntress Labs Incorporated
    • 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.

    • Policy tweaking and customizations can be very complex and take a lot of effort and time.
    • API integration is difficult and requires specialized support. Finding an experienced professional can be difficult.

    Usability
    Huntress Labs Incorporated
    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.

    Symantec DLP works good for our very simple and low complexity use cases and I would highly recommend it for them. However, I can't speak to highly complex or advanced use cases that might arise in certain industries like finance. I would recommend that if you are seeking an Enterprise DLP solution that you absolutely must explore this product as one of the leaders in the space - not doing so would be negligent in my opinion.

    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.

    Symantec DLP is the best. Put it in a head to head competition and it will win. However it can be a bit more expensive than other products so don't compare on price, compare on quality of product.
