So I'd weight cloud-native management and managed response heavily.\n\n**1. Huntress Managed EDR** - my default for teams under ~500 people with no dedicated security staff. ~$9/endpoint/month includes a real 24/7 human SOC that triages and remediates, so you're not the one interpreting alerts. Deploys over the internet, no VPN or on-prem console. This is the one that most often fits \"remote team\" literally. ([huntress.com](https://www.huntress.com/internal-it-cybersecurity-guide/best-endpoint-protection-for-small-businesses))\n\n**2. CrowdStrike Falcon** - the best pure product if you have someone to run it. Single lightweight agent, entirely cloud-managed, excellent macOS and Linux parity (matters a lot for remote engineering teams). Falcon Go/Pro make it reachable for smaller orgs; Complete adds their managed service if you want CrowdStrike's own SOC. Expensive, and the console assumes some expertise.
