Purpose-Built, Expert-Backed Cybersecurity
SOC-driven security across EDR, ITDR, SIEM, and SAT. Human-validated, actionable incidents with near-zero false positives.
Endpoint and cloud MDR with a 24/7 SOC.
Purpose-built EDR with high-accuracy behavioral detection, <1% false positive rate, and 24/7 SOC monitoring. Works alongside your existing AVs, including Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, and others, so there's no rip-and-replace required.
Blackpoint EDR is available but lacks transparency around how the product works, leading to confusion over actual capabilities. Blackpoint recommends pairing with a third-party EDR, limiting confidence in the platform’s standalone detection methodology compared to Huntress.
Native Managed ITDR for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Entra ID, including hybrid AD. Detects account takeover, privilege escalation, and MFA bypass, plus the SOC responds in under three minutes.
ITDR capabilities are available, but full functionality requires buying into a higher pricing tier. Limited IdP coverage compared to Huntress.
Fully managed SIEM built natively into the Huntress platform. Smart Filtering cuts noise at ingestion. Per-source pricing with no per-GB overages.
LogIC SIEM is available but lacks popular integrations, and data usage can be complex to manage. Managing data usage requires submitting a support ticket. Only available in their highest service tier.
Fully managed SAT with simulated phishing, role-based learning paths, compliance modules, and custom content creation tools.
No security awareness training solution offered.
Every incident includes a human-written report: what happened, how, remediation steps taken, and timeline. Built for audits, QBRs, and boards.
Monthly reports available, but users note portal navigation can be clunky and reporting is less polished than competitors.
Active containment and remediation executed by the SOC. Every incident includes a custom, human-written report with explicit next steps. Speak to a SOC analyst 24/7.
SOC notifies via a call for every alert, often without clear remediation guidance—adding response time and decision-making burden back onto your team. One-size-fits-all reports make it harder to act quickly and confidently.
One simple, volume-based price per product. No tiers required to unlock full capabilities.
Tiered pricing model. Access to full capabilities requires higher-tier commitments.

The Huntress Managed Security Platform
Huntress vs Blackpoint: Frequently Asked Questions
Huntress is a managed security platform that can combine Managed EDR, ITDR (identity protection for Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace), Managed SIEM, and Managed Security Awareness Training (SAT) under one 24/7 AI‑centric SOC and a single portal. Blackpoint MDR is typically deployed around its endpoint agent and SNAP‑Defense platform, with additional identity and log capabilities offered separately in its portfolio.
Many organizations transition in phases, standing up Huntress across their endpoints and identities while they wind down other tools to avoid a hard cutover. Huntress Managed EDR is designed to work alongside existing endpoint protection (including Microsoft Defender and other third‑party AV/EDR tools), so you don’t have to rip‑and‑replace your stack on day one. Your Huntress account team can advise on coexistence and de‑scoping plans if you’re coming from Blackpoint.
Huntress ships its own purpose‑built EDR agent and platform for Windows, macOS, and Linux; we do not rely on a third‑party EDR engine or tie our roadmap to another vendor’s product. Blackpoint is generally deployed alongside a separate AV/EDR stack, whereas Huntress provides the endpoint technology, continuous tuning, and 24/7 SOC as a single managed service. Huntress can also manage Microsoft Defender Antivirus at no additional cost if you choose to keep it in the mix.
Huntress Managed ITDR continuously monitors Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace identities and email for identity‑driven threats such as account takeover, business email compromise, malicious inbox and forwarding rules, risky logins, and rogue OAuth apps. It’s backed by a 24/7 AI‑centric SOC with a sub‑3‑minute mean time to respond and a false‑positive rate below 5%. For organizations standardizing on Microsoft 365 and/or Google Workspace, Huntress delivers cross‑cloud identity protection in one managed service.
We designed Huntress to minimize noise: every signal is reviewed and human‑validated by the SOC before it reaches your queue, driving a false‑positive rate under 1% for EDR and under 5% for ITDR. Instead of calling on every alert, Huntress delivers a small number of high‑fidelity incidents with clear, written timelines and remediation steps, so you’re not managing hundreds of raw events or incessant phone notifications.
Huntress uses simple, volume‑based per‑unit pricing—per endpoint for Managed EDR, per identity for ITDR, per data source for SIEM, and per learner for SAT—with full core capabilities and 24/7 SOC services included from day one and no feature‑gated tiers or hidden add‑ons. Compared with complex tiered MDR models, this keeps coverage and costs easier to predict as you grow.
We emphasize fast, low‑friction deployment—you can usually be live in minutes, often well under an hour, by pushing agents via RMM, Intune, or GPO, with onboarding support included in every subscription. Because Huntress can run alongside existing AV/EDR and identity tooling during rollout, most organizations adopt a phased migration, standing up Huntress first and then retiring overlapping tools once they’re satisfied with coverage and SOC workflows. Your Huntress team can help plan sequencing so you maintain protection throughout the transition.
For MSPs and IT teams, Huntress offers an enterprise‑grade, multi‑layer managed security platform—covering endpoints (EDR), identities (ITDR), logs (SIEM), and human risk (SAT)—backed by a 24/7 AI‑centric SOC, all delivered at pricing designed for the 99%. Our customers consistently cite strong outcomes and value, with survey data showing that 89% of users say Huntress Managed EDR has stopped a threat that would have significantly impacted their business and 98% say it is a better value than alternatives. For teams comparing platforms, that combination of broader coverage, lower noise, and simpler pricing is often the deciding factor.
