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

"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."
"The product provides integrations with several different SaaS applications."
"This service makes answering audits much easier since it covers so many security best practices."
"The agents give pretty good visibility into what is happening at the endpoint."
"The tool definitely saves money for our company's customers."
"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."
"The asset scanning feature and the entire solution, especially their advanced threat protection recently released, are very effective."
"The integration between Cisco AMPs and the Windows servers is most valuable. So, they can also sandbox machines on which they see something suspicious."
More Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response pros
"The installation was straightforward."
"It is a very scalable solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"If you are not in the security field, this can be difficult to figure out from time to time."
"It would be great if the whole process of determining vendor risk could be simplified by Arctic Wolf."
"The implementation process could be a little more streamlined."
"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."
"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."
"Some of the alerts or reports were not very easy to understand, and it took time to go through those, which was sometimes a little frustrating."
"I would actually be interested in having fewer features at a lower price."
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

"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."
"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 believe there is a per-seat license"
"It is an expensive solution."
