Full-Scale MDR.
Not Partial Protection.
See how Sophos MDR and Huntress Managed EDR compare across the capabilities that matter most.
| Capability | Sophos MDR | Huntress |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | Intuitive, unified platform A unified security platform integrating endpoint, firewall, network, identity, email, and cloud with shared telemetry and cross-layer correlation for faster, more accurate detections. | Isolated endpoint monitoring An endpoint-focused console with limited coverage beyond the endpoint. |
| AI | Most advanced AI for total attack surface protection AI augments Sophos MDR analysts with deep learning models, adaptive behavioral analytics, and cross-product correlation across all telemetry sources: endpoint, network, email, identity, and cloud. | Limited AI and automation Relies heavily on manual, endpoint-focused workflows. No cross-surface AI correlation, limiting detection of sophisticated multi-vector attacks that span beyond the endpoint. |
| Response | Full-scale incident response Comprehensive incident response that goes beyond containment, including threat hunting, root cause analysis, guided remediation, and recovery actions to fully neutralize threats and prevent recurrence. | Endpoint containment with limited scope Focused on endpoint isolation and basic containment. Customers must execute many investigation and remediation actions themselves to resolve incidents. |
| Third-Party Integrations | Broad third-party integration with deep Microsoft coverage Extensive integration ecosystem including deep Microsoft 365 and third-party security tool integration for unified visibility and response across your entire security stack. | Limited integration depth Narrow integration support with limited depth. Lacks the broad ecosystem integrations needed for comprehensive cross-platform visibility and coordinated response. |
| Validation | Independently validated leadership Recognized as a leader by Gartner, IDC, Frost & Sullivan, and MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations. The only vendor named Gartner Customers' Choice for MDR, XDR, Endpoint Security, and Firewall. | Validation = "Trust me, bro" Has declined participation in every MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation. Has never earned a leader position in a major analyst evaluation. Has never earned Gartner Customers' Choice. |
