Dylan Sauce CIO, Innovative Communication Systems

“I sleep better when my clients are being protected with Huntress. Huntress helps us by looking for persistent footholds in a network that antivirus just doesn't catch. We're getting a lot of the benefits of a bigger EDR platform for an extremely reasonable price.”

Tom Noon VP of Operations, Blue Tree Technology

“Huntress filters out all the noise. Their SOC team does a remarkable job of verifying threats and only sending alerts when they need our attention or action. Our techs know that when an alert from Huntress comes through, they better look at it.”

Austin_Sgro
Austin Sgro Client CIO, PCS
“Huntress has saved clients multiple times from potential threats that traditional AV did not pick up. Working along with Microsoft Defender in a centralized portal not only saves clients money but strengthens frontline virus protection. Remediation has been very simple and easy to use.”
