Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response vs Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting comparison

"The agents give pretty good visibility into what is happening at the endpoint."

"The solution works well for our team as it offers a hands-off approach, which we need."

"Having quarterly meetings with the team to review the last 90 days and determine what if any changes need to be made."

"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."

"The visibility into our endpoints is huge."

"After an easy onboarding, the monitoring started immediately."

"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."

"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 really stands out about Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting is that it's easy to use, the cost is clear, and the pricing is transparent, with straightforward onboarding in hybrid, cloud, or on-premise environments."

"The solution helps to detect some suspicious items for us and our clients."

"It can sometimes take up to an hour to get notification of a problem and that's a long time."

"It would be great if the whole process of determining vendor risk could be simplified by Arctic Wolf."

"We need an easier way to audit and act on agents."

"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 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."

"It will be helpful if the dashboard is more granular."

"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 solution’s user interface could be improved."

"We tried the proactive threat hunting feature, but it was not a good experience with Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting. It created more trouble than expected with false positives and non-expected answers."

"There is a lot of change in a small period. This might not be helpful for IT administrators and users."

"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 rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."

"The pricing is fair."

"I find their pricing to be reasonable and competitive."
