I have a client that has a contract with a local government that worked on a project together. The project is completed and now the government is asking them to delete all emails and SharePoint files related to the project. There are over 100,000 emails and SharePoint files that are found using a content search that I performed yesterday. I attempted to use the built-in E discovery tools, but that is limited to 10 items per mailbox and is not practical at this scale. I also attempted to use priority cleanup tool from Microsoft and that also has been extremely slow and I haven’t been able to delete more than a couple hundred items at a time. Does anyone know of a third-party tool that could assist with this deletion project? Priority v2 is coming by the end of the year Microsoft states and that’s supposed to help, but I need something before then.

I want to preface this by saying that I've been a huntress fan for a long time and use almost their entire stack. I think their MDR product is fantastic and I've always been impressed with their support. Having said that, I want to talk about the ITDR platform.

I use Huntress ITDR and do work for another company that uses Petra. The dashboard / visibility you have in Petra is miles better than what you have in Huntress.

This morning a client that is protected with Huntress ITDR called about an email that they mistakenly clicked on. I pulled up the Huntress dashboard and was trying to review recent activity. I was reminded how little their dashboard shows compared to Petra. On top of that, it showed the user was using a VPN on their phone and I decided to check with Huntress support about the strange VPN behavior and they said it's probably just not labeled correctly from their 3rd party company that helps with ISP data. Within Petra, you have much more insight to what's actually happening in the account where with Huntress, it's basically a "no news is good news" dashboard.

About a year ago I had a call with Huntress and on that call they acknowledged that Petra has an awesome tool, but they challenged that the amount of data they ingested and stored wasn't scalable to stay profitable. They also said they were going to be working to give more insight like what Petra does. It's been about a year now and I think the main improvement is that Huntress allows you use the ESQL to search through logs? I would prefer the tool to give actionable insights without having to write commands to view and search the logs.

Has anyone else that has used both platforms care to weigh in. Maybe there is something that I'm completely overlooking.

TLDR: Buy everything direct from Ubiquiti. Their store, order experience, warranty, and inventory consistently is better than a 3rd party.

I have some client's working on some projects that will entail 50-100k of new networking equipment so I thought it would be worth it to try the enterprise partner program. I've tried DandH for one and Streakwave for the other. They were both a terrible process. They both require POs to be submitted and then for back ordered items, they split your order into multiple orders. It gets difficult to track. For example, if you buy 20 APs and they only have 5, now you have 2 orders to track. Once the backordered item is back in stock, you have to request the back ordered items to be ordered and released.

The stock for both distributors was worse than what's on the store. For example, at DandH today, the earliest you can get an E7 AP is July even though the UI store has them in stock today. Stock on non enterprise items is just as bad. The Pro XG 48 POE for example is available for shipping today directly from Ubiquiti. From distribution, it's supposed to be back in stock on 8/31/2026.

After multiple conversations with distribution, it seems like Ubiquiti inventory management is even worse with 3rd parties than it is direct. Supposedly there is a website that distributors use to monitor stock and arrival times, but I've seen the ETA slip 3 times on the E7 APs.

I'm not upset that they prioritize their online store - it makes sense. I wanted to put this out there to make sure if you wanted to go down this trail, you know what you're getting into. Back to ordering direct!
