No its not, it can manage your Microsoft Defender and bring all machines into a single pane of glass.  What Huntress is at its roots though is a check for any persitance, it does this amazingly, no rogue software can burrow anywhere and live through reboots without Huntress seeing it.  They also added an EDR to their product a while back, and their EDR is the best in the market right now, #1 on G2!  We love Huntress!
