vs. Huntress
Huntress puts a human
on every alert.
We put the reasoning on it.
Huntress is excellent. The product runs a managed-detection service — every flagged event gets reviewed by a human analyst before it reaches your inbox. For an MSP reselling security, that's the right shape.
The trade-off: you wait for their queue. Their SOC is shared across thousands of customers. A 4 a.m. alert might not be triaged until 7 a.m. local time. And the per-endpoint price reflects the service cost — $8–15/month.
ABTDS is a product, not a service. The analysis is automated — Gemini-powered LLM analysis on every CRITICAL and HIGH alert produces the same shape of write-up an analyst would, in 30 seconds. The 9-factor breakdown shows the math. You make the decision.
For IT teams that want autonomy and faster turnaround, ABTDS wins. For teams that genuinely want someone else to make the call, Huntress wins. The choice is honest.
Read the difference
Same threat.
Three very different answers.
A brute-force attempt against a real Windows endpoint. Here's what each tool says when it fires.
"Medium risk."
That's it. That's the whole alert.
"Score: 87."
From what? Threshold for what? On a curve calibrated when?
"Failed login from Bulgaria, off-hours, new ASN. 4 of 9 factors above baseline. Likely brute force."
Block the IP. Force MFA reset on j.morton. Review the next 4 Sysmon 4624s.
We're not better at detecting brute force. We're better at explaining the one you're already detecting.
