Huntress

Managed EDR + 24/7 SOC for SMB and MSP, category leader.

By Huntress Labs, Inc. · Founded 2015 · Ellicott City, MD · private

Huntress is the SMB / MSP-focused managed EDR, founded 2015 by ex-NSA operators. The product's primary advantage: managed detection-and-response baked in (24/7 SOC included with every license, not a separate add-on like Falcon Complete or SentinelOne Vigilance). Best fit for SMBs (10-1,000 employees) without dedicated security teams and MSPs serving SMB clients. Trade-offs: detection breadth narrower than CrowdStrike/SentinelOne (focused on what matters most for SMB), less suited for large enterprises with in-house SOC, and integration ecosystem narrower.
