Business Model Comparison

Huntress operates with a closed, proprietary platform, offering an all-in-one model that limits customer choice and transparency. Their solution is built around their own EDR tool, and while they’ve recently developed an in-house SIEM, they mainly position themselves as an EDR vendor, focusing solely on EDR comparisons. On the other hand, Lumifi follows a flexible “Bring Your Own Tech” approach, integrating seamlessly with a wide array of best-in-class security platforms. This enables Lumifi to work directly within client-owned environments, providing visibility and remediation without being restricted to a locked-down solution.

Huntress only recently announced “Threat Hunting coming soon” (as of September 2024), while Lumifi has been offering continuous threat hunting, backed by an extensive and ever-growing threat detection library.

Additionally, Lumifi offers comprehensive services such as security testing for any target, vCISO expertise, compliance assistance, and a broad range of professional services. With Lumifi, you get a proactive, client-centric approach rather than the limited options available with Huntress.

Service Delivery Comparison

Huntress provides a static, one-size-fits-all threat detection model. Their solution is fixed and doesn’t cater to specific customer needs. In contrast, Lumifi delivers a tailored service that adapts to the unique requirements of each account. We prioritize transparency with features like real-time, always-available dashboards that track response times and offer detailed insights into alerts and investigations — not just a limited view selected by the vendor.

While Huntress allows MSP and VAR partners to self-provision new customers for their internal EDR solution, Lumifi offers a comprehensive passthrough capability. Our solution allows MSPs and VARs to manage all client sub-accounts, with full visibility and self-provisioning across multiple technologies, including SIEM, EDR, and more.

Tech Stack Comparison

Huntress only offers their proprietary EDR and SIEM, limiting the flexibility and scope of their services. Lumifi, however, integrates with a wide range of industry-leading technologies, including seven SIEM options, six EDR platforms, three NDR solutions, and additional tools for email protection, pipeline observability, threat intelligence, and vulnerability management.

Huntress’ tech stack remains hidden, with no visibility into their SOC automation or analysis tools. Lumifi’s ShieldVision platform, however, is fully transparent and accessible to clients. ShieldVision accelerates investigations and reduces response times with automated Threat Flows that enhance investigations and take proactive actions to protect clients.

In summary, Lumifi offers a broader, more transparent, and customizable approach compared to Huntress, empowering clients with the flexibility to choose their security tools and visibility into every step of their protection.
