Huntress wins for SMB-focused MSPs. The managed SOC, simple pricing, and ease of deployment make it the better fit for the majority of the MSP market.

Choose Huntress for clients under 250 employees with no enterprise procurement requirements. The 24×7 SOC is the differentiator — you're paying for managed detection, not just a tool.
