Soc Analyst at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Improved identity threat visibility has enabled faster investigations and structured triage
Huntress Managed ITDR could be improved by providing more detailed alert context, clearer investigation steps, and better integration with SIEM and SOAR tools. Reducing false positives and offering more customization for alert severity would also help SOC analysts prioritize genuine threats and investigate them more efficiently. I would also like to see more detailed incident timelines, better alert correlation, and more flexible reporting options. These improvements would help our SOC analysts understand the full context of identity-related threats, reduce manual investigation efforts, and make it easier to track security trends over time. I think Huntress Managed ITDR's AI governance and security could be improved by providing more transparency into how AI-driven detections work, how customer data is protected, and how decisions are made. Clear documentation on data privacy, access controls, and human oversight would help build trust and ensure AI-assisted threat detection remains secure and reliable. I find the AI capabilities useful for identifying suspicious identity activities and supporting investigations. However, accuracy and reliability depend on the quality of the alerts and available context. I would like to see fewer false positives, more transparent explanations for detections, and consistent results to help our SOC analysts make informed decisions.

Automated security monitoring increases efficiency, but market visibility needs improvement
I am currently evaluating Stellar Cyber Open XDR in terms of their support. I do not see any major areas for improvement as of now. Their support is good, and the team is small, enabling them to cater to everyone effectively. While I have not encountered significant drawbacks so far, market penetration is challenging due to the product's newness, despite its flexibility and customization features. I find their user interface to be quite good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I rate the overall solution as a ten out of ten."
"Implementing Huntress Managed ITDR has improved our business by allowing us to be more proactive with our security posture."
"The maintenance for Huntress Managed ITDR requires no maintenance on my end; it is self-reliant in that once it is set up, it does most of the heavy lifting, and you really just have to review alerts as it monitors for any issues."
"Huntress Managed ITDR is very good because I can make sure we're not getting false positives and a whole bunch of alerts that just become noise."
"You get value, and you get more value than most people realize from their products versus competitors."
"Huntress Managed ITDR has helped me detect identity threats extremely effectively; Compromised accounts are managed extremely well because we often get sign-ins from unknown locations faster than a client is aware their account is compromised."
"For anyone looking into ITDR, I would definitely recommend Huntress Managed ITDR because it is a human-led SOC using AI behind the scenes, and they are good at what they do."
"I would definitely recommend Huntress Managed ITDR to other users because it is easy to use, and it does not provide too many false positives, which is very important, especially when you are dealing with a company the size that we are; we really need to focus on actionable alerts, and it is the best tool that we have found for protecting the Microsoft 365 environment."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
 

Cons

"One thing about how Huntress Managed ITDR can be improved is that there are times in which we do not necessarily need to be engaged, and isolation can be triggered automatically so we do not have to do it."
"If I had to say a dislike would be I wish there was a little bit more customization."
"What I would like to see improved or maybe enhanced in Huntress Managed ITDR is that when you first set it up for a tenant, there are a number of false positives that pop up."
"I chose a rating of nine out of ten because of the improvements that I have suggested."
"While it is good to have those escalations, one of the downsides is that we receive many escalations, and I believe approximately seven out of ten are false positives."
"A downside of Huntress Managed ITDR is that some devices show they are not super compatible with the Defender for Endpoint integration."
"More in-depth reporting could be beneficial for the solution."
"Setting up and managing exceptions in Huntress Managed ITDR does come with challenges, primarily because we often fail to document our own processes."
"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
