Strong security reporting has supported our consulting work and drives better integration choices
I rated Adlumin Security Operations probably the same as Huntress at eight. They are better at reporting and better integrations. The integrations in terms of the number of integrations you can run from them or connect to are not as many as available with Huntress, but they have easier implementation. Overall, I would say it is the same. I do not want to see any additional features in the next release of Adlumin Security Operations, but I would change the pricing a little bit for around SIEM integrations and SIEM data collection. That is probably the maximum I would do. I do not really have much to say because that is literally five percent of our deployments versus ninety-five percent being Huntress. My overall rating for this review is eight.

Stays ahead of threats with fast alerts and improves compliance documentation for investor readiness
The best features Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response offers are its time sensitivity. It alerts us right away if an anomaly occurs. The time sensitivity helps our team by making our response faster in case it's an actual attack, which luckily hasn't happened yet. Speed is definitely one of the best features of Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response. The documentation is really good with Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response, making filling out our NIST and incident response really easy. Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization as it's an added layer of security, which has been really good. It also helped us stay up to date with our security posture so we can work better with investors who require certain paperwork or security postures. Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response has helped with investor requirements by assisting us with incident response paperwork, providing a score for NIST 2.0 framework rating, and allowing us to easily fill out documentation for bigger investors like Merrill Lynch so we can continue to work with them.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We normally focus on Huntress."
"The agents give pretty good visibility into what is happening at the endpoint."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization by making us feel much safer in terms of security."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization by giving us an overview of security without having to go to individual ports and do the correlation, as they do the correlation for you."
"The integration between Cisco AMPs and the Windows servers is most valuable. So, they can also sandbox machines on which they see something suspicious."
"What's valuable about Arctic Wolf AWN CyberSOC is the cost savings it provides for companies that no longer have to hire a bunch of security people and pay for a SIM."
"Arctic Wolf is our eyes and ears 24/7 because we can't possibly watch all of our alerts. We may see all of these alerts, but our attention is distracted because we're working on other things."
"Having quarterly meetings with the team to review the last 90 days and determine what if any changes need to be made."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response helped secure our investor relationships, specifically with Merrill Lynch, which required us to document our security posture, and Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response made it really easy for that."
 

Cons

"Adlumin Security Operations's functionality is probably slightly better, but implementation and integration with Office 365 was not as straightforward."
"It can sometimes take up to an hour to get notification of a problem and that's a long time."
"It will be helpful if the dashboard is more granular."
"It would be great if the whole process of determining vendor risk could be simplified by Arctic Wolf."
"They focus on detecting administrator-level control compromises. Because they're focusing more on administrator-level compromise, they are less able to see if an individual user has been compromised. It is, admittedly, very difficult because they don't know what normal human behavior is. If a hacker compromises a human account and then acts just like the human, how are you ever going to notice, unless you have some inside knowledge of how the company works? For example, they overlook account lockouts on user accounts, whereas in our own alerting system, we do not. We review every account lockout, and if it is bad, we contact the person, whereas they think of that as noise because they're more focused on the administrator-level compromise."
"We get a lot of false alarms, but that's because they don't know our network in detail. I think that could be alleviated if we told them more about our network so they could create rules to skip some of those things."
"The team felt that we were not happy with the speed and clarity of the alerts in that situation."
"It's nitpicky; however, if it could integrate with more of our products, like our CRM, that would be ideal. They may only integrate with Salesforce. We use a different mid-market CRM."
"The only frustrating aspect is the lack of support for Windows on ARM devices. We cannot fully secure these devices until they release an updated version of their agent software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is fair."
"It is more expensive than CrowdStrike, but it also has more features. I don't remember the amount, but I do remember that it was on the higher side. I believe we have five sensors, and the sensors have a yearly cost. We don't have any additional costs, but I know that if we have more features, they will add to the cost."
"I find their pricing to be reasonable and competitive."
"The pricing is pretty competitive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
