Kimberly Brock - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time threat detection has improved with comprehensive asset scanning
The threat intelligence feature is expected to be a significant advantage. However, a section for software inventory and real-time comparison with current CVEs would be beneficial. One can review an inventory of assets being scanned, including a software inventory along with CVE updates based on a company's software subscriptions, would be a game changer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They provide useful quarterly updates."
"This service makes answering audits much easier since it covers so many security best practices."
"The integration between Cisco AMPs and the Windows servers is most valuable. So, they can also sandbox machines on which they see something suspicious."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the managed detection and response component."
"The asset scanning feature and the entire solution, especially their advanced threat protection recently released, are very effective."
"The tool definitely saves money for our company's customers."
"We can effectively manage the massive amounts of security data that we receive from various sources such as firewalls, switches, endpoints, and other log sources."
"The solution works well for our team as it offers a hands-off approach, which we need."
More Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response pros
"The installation was straightforward."
"It is a very scalable solution."
 

Cons

"I would actually be interested in having fewer features at a lower price."
"I have heard that the tool doesn't go right to the endpoints."
"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."
"They could probably expand on their integration tools. They can integrate with more security tools."
"I would like to see them build the ability to co-sell an EDR platform, manage an EDR or manage the actual response, potentially from the issues that are coming up from the security risks."
"It would be great if the whole process of determining vendor risk could be simplified by Arctic Wolf."
"While they do inventory assets, including software inventory and CVE updates based on software subscriptions, would be a major improvement."
"We need an easier way to audit and act on agents."
More Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response cons
"Its user interface could be better."
"The only feature needing improvement which comes to mind is the need for better pricing for the licensing."
 

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