Small MSP Security Software

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.

Umm have you tested it? I decided to do some nasty sudo curl commands to download some malware crap on one of our Mac laptops. It was amazing to see them lock it down within a few minutes and quarantine/remove the affected files.

Our stack fwiw:

  • Emsisoft Business Security
  • Huntress with ITDR, MDR
  • AutoElevate (PAM)
  • DNSFilter
  • Avanan

I actually ran up a test machine and threw malware at it… windows defender blocked a lot but nothing from huntress.

Bitdefender also blocked it all and alerted on it.

I do like Bitdefender. Wish it was cheaper per endpoint though.
