Featured Reviews

Dan Stepanukha - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Administrator at a real estate/law firm with 201-500 employees
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.

We now benefit from regular account reviews and proactive event monitoring
It could improve the customer portal and possibly reduce prices slightly. It's very good because it includes user behavior analytics, detection rules, and thorough log investigation. They also have robust threat-hunting capabilities in the backend, which is crucial for me as a one-man band in the IT department. The managed service wraparound is essential, especially with pre-authorization for incident response

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The visibility into our endpoints is huge."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization and my clients' organizations by becoming a standard to meet insurance requirements or overall protection environments within an IT infrastructure, leading to growing sales for the company as I see it becoming a standard within the industry very soon at almost all levels."
"The product provides integrations with several different SaaS applications."
"The solution works well for our team as it offers a hands-off approach, which we need."
"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 asset scanning feature and the entire solution, especially their advanced threat protection recently released, are very effective."
"They prevented a couple of attacks and alerted us when there was a big vulnerability."
"Having quarterly meetings with the team to review the last 90 days and determine what if any changes need to be made."
"Our security posture has improved. We previously lacked intrusion detection and response capabilities, but now we benefit from regular account reviews and proactive event monitoring. Their portal provides a straightforward way to report suspicious activity, keeping us well-informed about potential threats."
 

Cons

"They could probably expand on their integration tools. They can integrate with more security tools."
"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."
"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."
"I would actually be interested in having fewer features at a lower price."
"I think the response time could be improved."
"The team felt that we were not happy with the speed and clarity of the alerts in that situation."
"It can sometimes take up to an hour to get notification of a problem and that's a long time."
"It could improve the customer portal and possibly reduce prices slightly. It's very good because it includes user behavior analytics, detection rules, and thorough log investigation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find their pricing to be reasonable and competitive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
