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

"Security protection is the best feature of this product."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization and my clients' organizations by becoming a standard to meet insurance requirements or overall protection environments within an IT infrastructure, leading to growing sales for the company as I see it becoming a standard within the industry very soon at almost all levels."
"They have a portal where you can evaluate and mitigate any vulnerabilities that you and your network might have."
"The visibility into our endpoints is huge."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its ease of implementation."
"Arctic Wolf is laser-focused on providing top-notch customer service."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response is a good product, and I would recommend it for any business."
"The agents give pretty good visibility into what is happening at the endpoint."
More Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response pros
"The installation was straightforward."
"It is a very scalable solution."
 

Cons

"While it isn't a regular occurrence, there have been some gaps in response to some support questions. Questions get answered, yet there are times it takes longer than I'm comfortable with."
"I have heard that the tool doesn't go right to the endpoints."
"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."
"The aspects I do not favor about Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response are that their detection generates a lot of false positives, and their concierge team is not always the best, leading to considerable back and forth which can be frustrating when submitting a ticket to have something resolved."
"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."
"While they do inventory assets, including software inventory and CVE updates based on software subscriptions, would be a major improvement."
"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."
"The implementation process could be a little more streamlined."
More Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response cons
"The only feature needing improvement which comes to mind is the need for better pricing for the licensing."
"Its user interface could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is pretty competitive."
"I find their pricing to be reasonable and competitive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The pricing is fair."
"I believe there is a per-seat license"
"It is an expensive solution."
