"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."

"The solution lacks the automation I need."
"Dual management for the customer, who needs to access the local on-premise console from a remote cloud-based console."
"They should focus more on the offline market as well. Everybody is connected nowadays, and they want to do everything via cloud or fast internet connections, however, that's still not possible in many situations."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
