Valuable Features
The antivirus protection is very good. With other antiviruses, when you scan the computer, it shows you what was found. However, for Huntress, they don't just show you the threats—they also give you recommendations. There's a simple button you can click to apply the remediation. You don't need to go and do it manually for the most part.
It's pretty straightforward to use. You don't need to spend a lot of time troubleshooting the alerts, and its ease of use is great. I'd rate usability nine out of ten.
Huntress is a really good choice for small and medium-sized businesses since it's pretty easy to use and doesn't consume too many resources. In the past, we had some issues, for example, with Webroot. There were certain situations when, for some reason, WebRTC consumed a lot of resources, and that was a pain for the clients. We never had this kind of issue with Huntress.
It's pretty easy to install and deploy. It has a lot of reports. The way they show the reports is pretty good and easy to understand for the client. In the past, when clients received reports, they did not understand. We don't have to explain Huntress reporting.
We saw the benefits of Huntress pretty quickly. Once it started detecting threats, it was great. When I first started using Huntress, I started comparing it to other solutions were using, and I could see how beneficial Huntress was. For example, you can see what it's doing, and also you can see when it's complete in real-time.
The solution is fully managed by Huntress 24/7, which reduces our workload when managing and triaging alerts. It's a great feature.
Huntress can remediate low-severity threats automatically and take certain actions automatically. For example, if the antivirus detects ransomware, it isolates the computer automatically. I don't need to do anything. I received only the alert that said the computer was isolated. Then, I usually need to check the logs and see if I need to do something manually or something similar.
Huntress helped to reduce the need for expensive security tools or higher expensive security analysts. In fact, we had conversations on how to reduce costs as an MSP. They reviewed the number of seats we have, and they offered us a new plan with better with less cost.
Results
In the beginning, we were using two antiviruses. The first one was Webroot, and the other was Huntress. At that time, we noticed that Huntress was not compatible with iOS devices, with Macs, so we used both services - Webroot for Macs and Huntress for Windows.
I feel very protected. I feel really good having Huntress on my computers. There are certain antiviruses we installed before that basically would never detect anything. I also had a ransomware case when a client used a different antivirus. With Huntress, I've never suffered any attacks.
