    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 Symantec Endpoint Protection provides very good protection from all kind of threats. Due to the lean interface, it is sure easy to use. However, set up and start up is time-consuming. It can cause old computers to slow down during start up. Overall, it does perform at the top level as a business-level endpoint protection solution. I feel very safe while working at the office as I've never encountered any issues with this software before. Any kind of spyware or malware is defeated instantly by the help of this up-to-date database.

    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.

    • The process to set up a user account is a real pain. Symantec requires the user answer a bunch of security questions if they need to reset their password, but no one ever remembers the answers to the questions that they selected.
    • Since we use this for remote users who don't always connect to our VPN, when they change their network password it isn't always reflected in Windows and the Symantec Endpoint Encryption (SEE) passwords frequently get out of sync. When the user eventually does connect to the VPN, they do sync and really throw the user for a loop in which passwords to use.
    • We found a huge problem with SSDs where an encrypted drive operated twice as slow as a mechanical drive. I believe this was addressed in a later release.

    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.

    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.

    We needed a tool to manage BitLocker and FileVault and this product does both. Also, we needed a product to manage our self-encrypting drives (OPAL drives) and things work great
