Why IT teams choose Kaseya SIEM over Huntress SIEM
With complex IT environments, you need connected security that works. Kaseya SIEM doesn’t just log and filter issues. It unifies endpoint, network and cloud telemetry from 60+ data sources with cross-surface correlation, automated response and AI-powered investigation, all backed by a 24/7 SOC.
How we compare
Kaseya SIEM was built for MSPs and lean IT teams that need unified security operations, not just log storage. Kaseya SIEM delivers cross-surface threat correlation, automated response across cloud and endpoints simultaneously, with the flexibility to self-serve or hand off to the SOC.
 | Huntress | |
|---|---|---|
| Data source coverage | 60+ native integrations spanning endpoints, firewalls, cloud apps, identity providers and network devices, plus generic webhook ingestion for custom sources. | 20+ log source integrations covering firewalls, identity, password management and endpoints. Relies primarily on log collection rather than native behavioral analytics. |
| Cross-surface correlation | Custom indicators of compromise connect cloud, identity, endpoint and network events into unified attack chains. Create automatic response actions ready to go for threats, across your IT environment. | Log aggregation and SOC-led investigation across collected sources. Correlation depends on SOC analysts connecting events manually or through detection rules. No support for creating custom indicators of compromise. |
| Customization & control | Create custom alerting rules, define indicators configure automated response actions and tune alert thresholds to match your needs. You control what gets flagged, how it’s investigated, and how it’s responded to. | Global rule set maintained by Huntress. Detection and triage rules are managed centrally and applied uniformly across all customers. The SOC handles everything; you have less control over what gets flagged and how your environment is protected. |
| Automated response | Highly configurable response rules, which act across cloud and endpoint simultaneously. Block accounts, expire sessions, isolate devices and revoke access in a single automated action. You define the triggers, conditions and actions. | SOC-led response with remediation recommendations and automated actions. Response rules are managed by Huntress, not the customer. Limited ability to build environment-specific automated response workflows or define custom trigger conditions. |
| Self-service investigation & AI | AI-powered data interrogation lets you query security data in natural language, identify anomalies and surface compromised assets without relying solely on the SOC. Investigate yourself or hand off to the managed SOC. | Template-based search with SOC support. No native AI-powered investigation or natural language querying. Self-service investigation is limited to log search and users have asked for AI-enabled search capabilities in reviews. |
| Log retention | 400 days of fully searchable log retention included. All retained data is directly searchable from the console at any time — no rehydration delays, no cold storage retrieval, no waiting. | One-year standard retention with optional 7-year extended retention available at additional cost. Only the first month of data is in active, searchable storage. Older data moves to cold storage and requires “rehydration” to be accessed. |
| Compliance reporting | Built-in compliance reporting aligned to cyber insurance requirements and regulatory frameworks. | Built-in compliance reporting aligned to cyber insurance requirements and regulatory frameworks. |
| Pricing model | Per-user, per-month pricing. Each user license includes coverage for up to three endpoints. No data volume surprises. The price scales with the number of users, not how much log data you generate. | Per-data-source pricing with pooled data allocation. Costs scale as you add log sources. Endpoints, SaaS apps and firewalls each count as data sources. You don’t control what data is kept, as Huntress promotes “Smart Filtering”. |
| SOC support | 24/7 AI-augmented SOC with teams operating globally, for continuous human-led monitoring, triage, investigation and active response across both cloud and endpoints. Plus direct phone access to SOC analysts. | 24/7 AI-assisted SOC that monitors, triages, investigates and responds to threats. SOC performs threat hunting, writes detection rules and weeds out false positives. Huntress does operate a follow-the-sun SOC model. |
| Platform integration | Native integration with the Kaseya stack, including RMM, PSA, backup and endpoint security. Security events flow into existing workflows, reducing context-switching and enabling coordinated response. | Integrates within the Huntress product ecosystem (EDR, ITDR, SAT) only. Limited native third-party integrations, requiring manual management across separate systems. |
One platform. Everything IT.
Kaseya helps MSPs of all sizes simplify complexity, eliminate wasted time and deliver an exceptional customer experience without adding headcount or juggling multiple vendors.
Unified security operations. Not just managed logs.
Most SIEMs stop at collecting logs and leaving the rest of the work up to your team. Kaseya SIEM goes further, correlating telemetry across cloud, endpoint and network, backed by a 24/7 SOC that actively investigates and responds. It’s the difference between simply storing security data and turning it into real protection.
"Everything is seamlessly integrated, saving me 25 minutes every morning. Instead of juggling 14 different tools, I can access everything in one place." Darren Duncan, CISO, United Systems and Software
Tailor your threat response
Kaseya SIEM lets you build automated response rules around your own indicators of compromise, or use the ones our security engineers create, with actions that fire across cloud and endpoint simultaneously. Either way, threats are contained in seconds, not hours.
“Overall quality of life has improved because of the ability to consolidate everything. And when you consolidate and make it more efficient, everything streamlines. It makes everyone’s life a little bit simpler.” Craig Bacheler, Owner and vCIO, Bacheler Technologies
Priced for a competitive advantage
Kaseya SIEM is priced per user, per month, so your costs scale predictably the same way you bill your clients, not by data volume or data source count.
"We are ahead of the curve thanks to the support of Datto and Kaseya. We are the first to offer new IT products and services to SMBs and it’s very exciting to be riding shotgun with such a strong vendor on the IT evolution road." Olivier Hébert, Marketing Director, Solulan
