Chose Hoxhunt
Darktrace is more advantageous as it blocks emails as well as attachments.
Because my company would like to use Hoxhunt so I used it too. Anyway, I found Hoxhunt nice and impressive helper. Hoxhunt is be like my assistant to help me filter the suspect email, prevent me from virus from email and train me to be actively as well.
Symantec was something I used in my previous company, it had some issues once in a while where I had to re-generate the code for my new ID. I know its for over all protection, but if I didn't have my phone that day, I'd be unable to log in. Hoxhunt helps that way as there is a …
I have never used another product like Hoxhunt. This is what makes it stand out to me. It is very unique and helpful that I think every business should use it.
Hoxhunt allows the user to be the primary threat detector by teaching the user how to identify threats. Symantec's service only addresses its databases and not end-user training.
It was very different and more of a hands off type of security approach. I didn't use it all that much but when I did it was not really similar at all. I didn't have the experience in terms of checking for test emails that would come through or the gamification that Hoxhunt has.
Carbon Black was much more expensive and had a bit more buy-in than we were able to sell companies on. The portal was not as simplified. The services are similar in execution, and we did not find Carbon Black lacking, but Huntress is easy to use, easy to deploy, and a better …
To be honest, I haven't run into anything like Huntress. It's not a threat protection platform and it doesn't simply look for configuration changes. It is a unique product that starts with searching for footholds and grew into educating the user base on what cybersecurity is …
This is a difficult question because Huntress really doesn't compete with other products per se. There are EDR products that tout the same capabilities as Huntress, so if you were to compare just those features, you would still see Huntress as a winner because they are …
Huntress may not be a complete SOC such as Blackpoint, but the level of protection is close. Huntress provides a set of human eyes always hunting for persistent threats on your endpoints. Huntress also seems less noisy with no false positives, so no time is wasted reviewing …
Firstly from a business model, [VMware] Carbon Black [Cloud Managed Detection] was not outfitted for the MSP where Huntress is very MSP-friendly from an affordably easy point to entry to value for money licensing. Carbon Black TS is not bad in anyway, well, that we found, but …
Artic Wolf offers a superior service with dedicated resources and personalized service. This is offered at a premium price and we decided not to invest very heavily in this type of service yet. We don't need a dedicated team with intimate knowledge of our business at this time. …
Easier to add and remove the agent from PCs. In our experience, others are horrendous to try to remove when a customer leaves. The UI is superior through its simplicity. For us, deployment was also much easier than BlackPoint or SentinelOne. Webroot was easy to install, but …
Basically we went with Huntress because of simplicity and reputation. We still use ESET for AV but felt their EDR product was reactionary to Huntress existing, rather than a particularly well thought out product. In my experience, Sophos is just too buggy in everything they do. …
Huntress understands the needs of their partners in regards to need a solid solution, actionable items when threats hit, a SOC team that is able to intelligently respond, while also maintaining reasonable costs. Huntress checked all the boxes that we needed from competing …
If emails are used for confidential communication, Hoxhunt is a HUGE benefit. I have caught myself feeling lax over emailing and clicking links. Hoxhunt makes you really evaluate safety and legitimacy of the emails that are received. We even have laughs about it at staff meetings where staff admit to getting "hoxhunted" and clicking a fake link.
A great product that highlights any and all persistent footholds on the network and does a great job on breach monitoring. The support staff are great, efficient, and are able to reach out when there is an issue. Most problems are cleared out/mitigated before we even know about them. A great product to add to your security stack.
Training Packages - They cover a wide range of topics that spam emails, social media and physical security such as USB sticks
Achievements as incentives - The gaming style of collecting achievements and stars for reporting emails or completing training incentivizes people to engage in a consistent and enthusiastic way.
Training Emails - They are able to replicate phishing emails in a realistic way, so it isn't easy to spot straight away meaning we now look at every email with a critical eye which makes us safer.
Using the latest industry knowledge of threats that have been ongoing, but not previously known and projecting it back in time against their installed endpoints to identify machines that are vulnerable or breached and when it these events occurred
Very quiet. If they alert, it is a thing.
Very good at remediation.
They communicate extremely well when it matters.
While there are the most extensive products more often than not they are the first to alert us to a threat.
More training opportunities - The Hoxhunt page itself only has a few training modules which I have completed already
An even spicier spicy mode - Scammers are always evolving, so I want to be able to identify the toughest phishing attempts.
Eliminate "missed" emails. Sometimes I don't read my inbox right away. I don't think emails should count as "missed" just because I didn't report it within a few days.
it is very easy to use. it is clear and provides information as to why the type of email is one to look out for. It automatically takes you to the required information when you have spotted that it is a Hoxhunt email.
We dropped SentinelOne in favor of Huntress because the UI was much more simplistic for the tier 1 techs to maintain. It beats the old web design model of three clicks to where you want to go. It is very intuitive. No one needs training to figure out how to navigate its console.
Symantec was something I used in my previous company, it had some issues once in a while where I had to re-generate the code for my new ID. I know its for over all protection, but if I didn't have my phone that day, I'd be unable to log in. Hoxhunt helps that way as there is a SSO authentication and needs the fingerprint, I guess it works different for different companies based on their regulations and privacy protection. Haven't really used any other tool like this
Huntress may not be a complete SOC such as Blackpoint, but the level of protection is close. Huntress provides a set of human eyes always hunting for persistent threats on your endpoints. Huntress also seems less noisy with no false positives, so no time is wasted reviewing alerts.
I have been able to identify and report 3 real scam emails thanks to Hoxhunt.
Unfortunately I have no data of the overall company's benefit with regards to the use of Hoxhunt.
The training has also been helpful to me in my personal email. I think that helps with work productivity, because I haven't been in the situation where I'm worrying about having been scammed outside of work.
