Our take
Huntress is an easy recommendation for small and mid-size businesses, and the MSPs that support them, that need round-the-clock detection and response without building a SOC. Large enterprises with an in-house security operations team and complex tooling may want a provider that works more deeply inside their existing stack.

Products behind the 24/7 SOC
Huntress sells managed security products, all backed by its 24/7 security operations center: endpoint detection and response, identity threat detection and response, a managed SIEM, security awareness training and identity security posture management.1 The SOC investigates alerts and stages remediation, and the company notes that its list prices do not include deployment, integration or day-to-day management, which customers or their MSP handle.1
Per-unit list prices
Huntress publishes list prices. MSRP is $8.99 per endpoint per month for managed EDR, $4.80 per identity for managed ITDR (an example rate of $3.60 at 100 identities), $4.00 per data source for managed SIEM, $2.08 per learner for training and $4.00 per identity for posture management, with lower per-unit rates at volume; at 100 endpoints the example EDR rate falls to $7.99.1 Standard terms are 12 months, there are no separate setup or onboarding fees, and direct or reseller purchases carry a 50-seat minimum per product, while buying through an MSP does not.1
For a 100-employee company with 120 endpoints and 100 Microsoft 365 users, the published rates put managed EDR plus ITDR at roughly $1,320 to $1,560 a month, between the 100-unit example rates and list price.
Ten years of growth
Kyle Hanslovan and Chris Bisnett co-founded Huntress in 2015.2 In June 2024 it raised a $150 million Series D at a $1.55 billion valuation, backed by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital and Sapphire Ventures.3 Three months later it announced it had passed $100 million in annual recurring revenue while protecting more than 3 million endpoints and 120,000 businesses.4 By its tenth anniversary in August 2025 it reported about $300 million raised, 600 employees, and more than 4 million endpoints and 200,000 organizations protected.2 NewView Capital, which led a tender offer for company shares, wrote in November 2025 that Huntress crossed $175 million in ARR during 2025.5
Huntress and Expel
Expel, another managed detection provider, serves a different buyer. Huntress runs its own agent and products and prices them per unit for organizations without security staff. Expel works on top of the tools a company already owns and suits teams with an existing security function that want transparent collaboration with outside analysts. Huntress says most customers buy through a partner, so for many of them an MSP handles deployment and day-to-day management.1
Enterprises with their own EDR
Enterprises that have standardized on another EDR and want a provider to manage that tool are a better match for bring-your-own-technology providers. Huntress also says it does not offer multi-year terms for price protection, though its account team will discuss exceptions.1

Where it helps
I evaluate Huntress Managed EDR as the best choice we have made for antivirus endpoint protection EDR solutions specifically for the SMB market.
Using Huntress Managed EDR has helped reduce the need for expensive security tools or to hire expensive security analysts, which is very important as we can use the money that we saved on those in improving equipment.
We use Huntress for EDR, ITDR and SAT. DNSFIlter seems to help alot as well we have been happy with this combo.
Where it falls short
Customer support for Huntress Managed EDR could have been better. Although there is a dedicated representative, after the initial onboarding conversation, there was not much follow-up until renewal came up.
I love huntress for their sat and edr, but the itdr isn’t fantastic, for that piece we use Petra security.
