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

"I highly recommend Arctic Wolf as they excel in ensuring the company is well-trained and updated on industry developments."
"Whenever there is a major thing like Exchange vulnerabilities, it scans our Exchange server for indicators of compromise. It then alerts us and points exactly where we need to go to check for ourselves if it is normal or not."
"It has provided just a little bit more peace of mind in terms of not having to be constantly on our toes and wondering if something is going on while we're trying to enjoy our weekends."
"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 visibility into our endpoints is huge."
"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 integration between Cisco AMPs and the Windows servers is most valuable. So, they can also sandbox machines on which they see something suspicious."
"Security protection is the best feature of this product."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Deployment was handled in an efficient manner and those responsible allocated to us their time for this task."
"The installation was straightforward."
 

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."
"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."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response can be improved because the deployment was rather involved; the initial deployment was very lengthy, and there were many things to account for when we had to implement it initially, so making that process easier would be an improvement."
"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."
"They could probably expand on their integration tools. They can integrate with more security tools."
"If you are not in the security field, this can be difficult to figure out from time to time."
"It will be helpful if the dashboard is more granular."
"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

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