24/7 SOC management offered as ‘MDR’ for an additional charge.
Huntress EDR, with its behavioral analysis and persistent foothold detection, identifies and responds to known AND emerging threats in real time, unlike traditional policy-based systems.
Uses a policy-based approach to EDR, focusing mainly on known past threats from crowdsourced threat intelligence, which may not effectively address new or active threats.
The Huntress SOC filters 95% of alerts before incident report delivery. Expert analysis delivers a false positive rate below 1% to minimize noise and simplify management. Huntress is the highest-rated EDR for “Ease of Use” on G2.
No SOC review before alerts are delivered without additional MDR paid upgrade. Policy-based detections are prone to creating noise, which may lead to alert fatigue. They can also be complex and time-intensive to manage, potentially increasing overhead and making it difficult to maintain security policies.
Ultra-lightweight agent can typically be deployed within minutes, with minimal disruption. Plus, regular automated updates provide a seamless user experience. Huntress has a 96% G2 score for "Ease of Setup," higher than any other major provider.
Known to cause performance issues, leading to system slowdowns and operational disruptions. Requires ongoing fine-tuning and management to optimize effectiveness, often demanding significant time and resources.
Incident Reports with detailed step-by-step directions. Automated Host Isolation for Critical Incidents. Phone call and Text options. One-Click Assisted Remediation. Opt-in Automatic Active Remediation.
This is a policy-driven model with limited response actions. Optional endpoint isolation via the Detect module. Admins adjust policies to remediate threats. 24/7 Cyber Hero support is available, but there is limited guidance on remediation steps.
Transparent and straightforward pricing without tiers or hidden fees. Predictable TCO and a 24/7 SOC team for comprehensive support without any unexpected costs.
TCO may increase due to the need for more intensive management and configuration, especially as new applications or updates are introduced, complicating budgeting and operational planning.
