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.

Improved threat detection has reduced incidents and has automated investigations with AI
There are multiple features of ReliaQuest GreyMatter which I love personally. The agentic AI, which helps in autonomous investigation and containment, is multiplying the speed of the task to be done. Features such as managed service integration and MDR with human expertise when needed are some major features which I love about ReliaQuest GreyMatter.

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 has positively impacted my organization by making us feel much safer in terms of security."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the managed detection and response component."
"They prevented a couple of attacks and alerted us when there was a big vulnerability."
"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."
"I rate the overall solution nine out of ten."
"With Arctic Wolf AWN CyberSOC, they can save, in a lot of cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars by not hiring a security team."
"The asset scanning feature and the entire solution, especially their advanced threat protection recently released, are very effective."
"The product provides integrations with several different SaaS applications."
"ReliaQuest GreyMatter saves around 60% of time or resources."
"ReliaQuest GreyMatter has helped us to reduce security incidents by 89%, which is a significant amount of incidents we have seen."
 

Cons

"It will be helpful if the dashboard is more granular."
"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."
"I think the response time could be improved."
"It can sometimes take up to an hour to get notification of a problem and that's a long time."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response's analysis and remediation parts could be improved. It's not bad, but it needs improvement."
"More integrations with various security tools to improve data ingestion would be beneficial."
"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."
"I have heard that the tool doesn't go right to the endpoints."
"Areas that have room for improvement include user interface and integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair."
"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 find their pricing to be reasonable and competitive."
"The pricing is pretty competitive."
