Huntress identifies persistent threats by analyzing endpoint activity and uncovering hidden attacker footholds. It provides detailed investigation reports to assist in remediation and ongoing threat monitoring.
Why these ratings?
Cyberse perspective
Summary by Cyberse
Microsoft Sentinel may be considered a good fit for you due to its powerful capabilities.
Here’s a few tips on how to maximize its capabilities:
We use the following criteria to rate this product’s functionality:
Cost considerations
Huntress uses a straightforward, low per-endpoint price that already covers 24×7 MDR service and is lower than many enterprise EDR tools. The same fee applies across Windows, macOS, and Linux, avoiding extra charges for mixed environments. Optional items such as Microsoft 365 monitoring are separate, but most core protections require no additional spend.
Functionality
Huntress combines a built-in AV engine and real-time behavioral monitoring, then uses analyst-approved scripts to remove threats quickly. Partners can pull rich telemetry for their XDR stacks, giving broader visibility than basic EDR. The tool lacks advanced AI-driven prevention and device-control modules found in top-tier suites.
Compatibility
Huntress deploys a small agent for Windows and macOS and recently added basic Linux support, with logs exportable to SIEMs via syslog or API, so desktop server environments integrate smoothly. However, Android and iOS are not covered and the Linux feature set is still maturing, so overall compatibility sits mid-pack compared with full-spectrum endpoint suites.
User experience
Web console is clean and purpose-built for MSP workflows, and dashboards surface active threats with simple drill-downs. Guided remediation steps and isolation buttons cut investigation time, so new analysts get productive after a brief walkthrough. Some deeper settings still take a few clicks, but overall flow is smoother than most SMB-focused EDR tools.
Customer support
Huntress analysts monitor environments continuously and respond to tickets or portal messages quickly during work hours. Customers receive weekly threat briefings and can tap a thorough online knowledge base for self-help. Because always-available phone or live chat support and daily intel updates are not standard, support falls just below the top tier.
