Guardz VS. Huntress
Streamline cybersecurity with an AI-powered platform to secure identities, endpoints, email, cloud, and data from a single pane of glass
Simplify your security management and enhance defense capabilities with an innovative AI-powered unified platform that connects the dots across M365/Google Workspace users, emails, devices, data, awareness, and more into a single backbone and provides aggregated views of detections, ensuring rapid and effective threat detection and response.
A user-centric approach is crucial to tie detections to specific users, making responses more actionable and practical.
By leveraging behavioral insights and threat analytics, it enhances incident response and builds trust, empowering MSPs to engage directly with business owners or employees to verify incidents and educate them effectively.
Expertise & Approach
Unified Platform
MDR
Cost-Value Proposition
MSP First Approach
Guardz provides an AI-native user centric approach specifically designed for MSPs. With advanced early threat detection and response, across security controls, Guardz empowers MSPs with enhanced, proactive protection that reduces manual dependency and uses automations to improve response times.
Unified platform compatible with both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Offers visibility across nine security controls—including email, endpoint, cloud, data, awareness, secure browsing and more. The platform integrates with SentinelOne’s (EDR) solution and includes cyber insurance coverage.
Guardz MDR combines AI-driven automation with expert oversight, leveraging the full Guardz security stack. It detects early-stage threats and automates responses like suspension of users and device isolation, providing comprehensive, user-focused protection with minimal manual intervention.
Guardz Pro package is designed for all MSPs and includes the full suite of security controls, with flexible options for monthly or annual commitments and volume discounts.
The Ultimate package delivers EDR and MDR for a small increase in cost while delivering significant value in 24/7 Incident Support.
White Labeling options (custom branding in emails and reports), rapid client onboarding, growth-oriented resources (sales training, prospecting reports), and cyber insurance options.
Huntress evolved from a managed AV tool into an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). While it includes threat hunting capabilities with SOC oversight (managed EDR), Huntress relies on human-led reactive analysis, which can impact the operational effectiveness of MSPs.
Endpoint and M365 and Awareness are supported but are siloed in their detection and reporting. Compared to a unified platform, do not secure email, data, dark web or browsing.
Huntress MDR focuses separately on endpoint or Microsoft 365 activity. This provides a semi-automated approach that doesn’t associate device threats with cloud risk, relies on manual intervention, and lacks fully automated response options.
Huntress offers each of its services—Managed EDR, ITDR, SAT, and SIEM—as individually priced solutions rather than a bundled, all-in-one package. Each service has its own pricing structure and seems to live in a silo.
Primarily focused on SMBs and MSPs but increasingly targeting medium to large businesses. User experience can be challenging for MSPs, with complicated navigation that makes the platform less intuitive and harder to use effectively.
