## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-07 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My picks, in order
> 
> **1. Huntress Managed EDR** - This is what I'd recommend first for most remote teams under a few hundred seats. The product is good, but the real reason is that it comes with a 24/7 human SOC included in the base price. Remote teams almost never have someone watching alerts at 2am, and an EDR that only generates alerts is nearly worthless without that. Roughly $4-7/endpoint/month depending on term and volume. It also covers macOS properly, which matters since remote teams skew Mac-heavy.
> 
> **2. CrowdStrike Falcon** - The strongest pure detection engine, and the broadest platform coverage (Windows, macOS, Linux, mobile, containers, identity). Scored ~98% technique detection in the most recent MITRE ATT&CK evaluations. Lightweight single agent, fully cloud-managed with no on-prem infrastructure - which is exactly the right architecture when nobody's on a corporate network. Falcon Go is the scaled-down SMB tier if you don't need the full platform. Pick this if you have someone who will actually operate it, or buy Falcon Complete for their managed service.
> 
> **3. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint** - If you're already on Microsoft 365 E5, this is effectively free at
