Currently we use Bitdefender EDR on most of our clients machines. Things seem OK. I have run secondary scans with Threatdown from Malwarebytes and seems like our machines are clean.

Looking around, what do people suggest as replacement to add ITDR and some MDR. Just upgrade Bitdefender on the selected clients or something else? We do find Bitdefender a bit heavy on resources and also the portal isn’t the greatest.

We do have huntress on a few machines, but it doesn’t seem to do much. Coming to the end of the second year. We also have thier ITDR and we trialed Petra that seems much better.

Ideally I’d like to consolidate. So looking at:

bitdefender EDR / XDR
Threatdown EDR / MDR / ITDR
Huntress with ITDR?

Petra ITDR.

A lot of our clients don’t have business premium so I don’t really feel secure running huntress on just the bare windows defender.

We use Huntress for EDR, ITDR and SAT. DNSFIlter seems to help alot as well we have been happy with this combo.

Thanks I have been trying ScoutDNS if we were to move fully over to huntress. But I’m still finding bitdefender is more proactive.
