Huntress licenses EDR, identity, SIEM, and training separately, and its posture module flags missing patches without applying them. With TecnetSOC, you pay per device, and the SOC patches, validates in a pilot group, and closes with a scanner.
Its posture module (ESPM) is in Early Access, with general availability announced for 2027, and it flags missing patches using Microsoft Defender data; it doesn't publish patching times.
The SOC prioritizes patching based on what is already being exploited in the real world (KEV, EPSS), validates it in a pilot group, targets 48 h for critical patches, and closes only when the scanner confirms the fix.
EDR, identity, SIEM, training, and posture are licensed separately, each with its own billing unit, and direct purchases require a minimum of 50 licenses per product.
You pay per device with stackable plans; Visibility is free for up to 10 devices, and you can try Response for 30 days in your environment.
Antivirus prevention comes from Microsoft Defender or another antivirus you already have, and the platform doesn't include web filtering or IDS/IPS.
Advanced protection on every device (EDR/XDR), web filtering, and IDS/IPS come in the most complete offering.
The internal network is visible only through the firewall logs you send to its SIEM, and email is monitored in the mailbox, with no anti-spam.
The most complete offering includes internal network detection (NDR) and email security against spam, phishing, malware, and BEC.
There is no RMM, uptime monitoring, pentesting, or backup; it connects to the RMM you already have, and you purchase the rest from other providers.
RMM, NOC, annual pentesting, a TAM, and a 24/7 help desk come in the most complete offering; immutable backup is an add-on.
Its channel announcements target the US, the UK, and the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region; it doesn't publish operations in LATAM or analysts who can support you in Spanish.
We operate in LATAM, the US, and Europe with analysts in your time zone, native Spanish, and multilingual support.

Neo, TecnetOne's assistant, answers what we are asked most about Huntress. Public information reviewed as of September 29, 2026.
Huntress is a managed SOC (security operations center) service sold through IT providers, with modules that are purchased separately. Its operations center works 24/7, is led by people, and is assisted by AI agents called Athena. TecnetSOC is an agentic SOC that, in its most complete offering, brings together in a single service operated patching, RMM (remote monitoring and management), NOC (uptime monitoring), and an annual pentest, things Huntress doesn't include.
It depends on what you already have: Huntress is a fit if you work with an IT provider that already runs your RMM and your antivirus (for example, Microsoft Defender) and you want to add a human-led 24/7 SOC, with SOC 2 Type II certified operations. TecnetSOC is a fit if you want a single service, charged per device, that also patches, monitors the internal network and email, and supports you in Spanish from LATAM. On the same list of 50 capabilities, TecnetSOC's most complete offering covers all 50, and Huntress's covers 8 fully and 18 partially.
As of September 29, 2026, we did not find a list price for Huntress; what it does publish is how it charges: each module (EDR, identity, SIEM, training, and posture) is licensed separately, with its own billing unit, and for direct purchases it requires a minimum of 50 licenses per product. It offers a free trial with a 24/7 SOC, but it doesn't officially publish how long it lasts, and it has no permanent free plan. TecnetSOC charges per device with plans that stack, its Visibility plan is free for up to 10 devices, and the Response plan can be tried for 30 days in your environment.
We found no public evidence that Huntress has Spanish-speaking analysts or support; what it does allow is generating its monthly and quarterly threat reports in Spanish. Its operations are in the US, and its channel announcements target the US, the United Kingdom, and the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region. TecnetSOC operates in LATAM, the US, and Europe with analysts in your time zone, native Spanish, and multilingual support.
TecnetSOC is an alternative to Huntress with operations in LATAM, the US, and Europe, analysts in your time zone, and support in native Spanish, available directly or through your IT provider. Huntress doesn't publish operations in LATAM. Other managed SOC services we compare against the same list of 50 capabilities are Arctic Wolf, eSentire, Expel, Heimdal, Blackpoint, Cyrebro, and Acronis; confirm coverage in your country with each one.
Huntress relies on the antivirus you already have: its own EDR detects threats, and prevention comes from Microsoft Defender or another installed antivirus. Its platform doesn't include web filtering or IDS/IPS (intrusion detection and prevention). In TecnetSOC's most complete offering, advanced protection on every device (EDR/XDR), web filtering, and IDS/IPS are included.
Huntress isolates devices without asking for prior approval: a person reviews the uncertain cases, and high-confidence ones are reported without human review. IP address blocking is not documented in its offering. With TecnetSOC, a person approves every critical action before it runs (Human Gate), and device isolation and IP blocking are part of the response.
No, Huntress flags the patches that are missing but doesn't install them or publish patching times. It does this with its posture module (ESPM), which uses Microsoft Defender data and is in early access, with general availability announced for 2027. With TecnetSOC, the team prioritizes patches based on what is already being exploited in the real world, tests them in a pilot group, targets 48 hours for critical patches, and closes the case only when the scanner confirms the fix.
