Huntress Managed Detection and Response vs ReliaQuest MDR

Huntress Managed Detection and Response combines endpoint detection and response with 24/7 SOC monitoring. Its SOC investigates, contains, and remediates threats on customers’ behalf, and Managed Microsoft Defender Antivirus is included with Managed EDR. Huntress lists Windows, macOS, and Linux support, with some features varying by operating system. It can integrate with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and offers pre-built integrations, an API, real-time alert webhooks, and an MCP server for plain-language account queries. Listed PSA integrations include Syncro, Kaseya BMS, HaloPSA, ConnectWise Manage, and Autotask. Huntress says deployment can take as little as 30 minutes using its platform and pre-built scripts. The 14-day trial provides full EDR access and expert support without a credit card. Managed EDR is listed at $7.99 a month per endpoint, shown as an example for 100 endpoints. The standard plan has a 50-agent minimum commitment and a standard 12-month term; minimums may vary by purchasing route.
