13 best Huntress competitors for MSPs in 2026

Huntress handles cybersecurity for MSPs. It combines automated threat detection with a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC), where security experts investigate and respond to threats.

At the operational level, MSPs manage remote monitoring and management (RMM), professional services automation (PSA), patching, billing, mobile device management and endpoint operations. They typically rely on separate platforms alongside Huntress to handle these functions. For MSPs that want to consolidate their tool stack, the question is how much of this work they can manage on a single platform.

If you're comparing Huntress alternatives, it is important to  first decide whether you need another security platform in itself or a platform to handle the broader MSP operations around Huntress.

The 13 platforms below focus on that second need. Each profile looks at what the platform does, where it fits best, its strengths and trade-offs and how it supports RMM, PSA, patching, endpoint management and automation.

Where Huntress fits in the modern MSP stack

Huntress connects to your PSA and RMM tools. When it detects a threat, it can automatically trigger a fix, open a ticket, or add a billable line item, without you having to move information between systems manually.

Operational challenges MSPs often experience

While Huntress reduces manual routing, it does not give you visibility across the rest of your operations. A ticket or billing entry in your PSA may not include device health, patch history, contract details, or other information needed for follow-up.

Technicians may need to check other systems for additional context, which could increase resolution time and slow routine work.

Why SuperOps stands out among Huntress competitors

SuperOps stands out for MSPs that do not need to replace Huntress’s security capabilities but want to consolidate the operational tools used alongside it. While Huntress focuses on managed security, SuperOps combines RMM, PSA, MDM, patching, ticketing, billing and endpoint management in one platform.

When the two platforms are integrated, MSPs can connect Huntress Managed EDR with SuperOps and manage Huntress deployment and endpoint security status through SuperOps. This gives technicians access to Huntress-related security information alongside the endpoint management and service workflows they already manage in SuperOps.

The table below compares the capabilities covered by each platform:
