Featured Reviews

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

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."
"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."
"We can effectively manage the massive amounts of security data that we receive from various sources such as firewalls, switches, endpoints, and other log sources."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the managed detection and response component."
"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."
"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."
"I highly recommend Arctic Wolf as they excel in ensuring the company is well-trained and updated on industry developments."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization by catching many issues, eliminating risks, and preventing compromises; overall, it has been a great security feature."
"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

"If you are not in the security field, this can be difficult to figure out from time to time."
"They could probably expand on their integration tools. They can integrate with more security tools."
"I would actually be interested in having fewer features at a lower price."
"While they do inventory assets, including software inventory and CVE updates based on software subscriptions, would be a major improvement."
"I would like to see them build the ability to co-sell an EDR platform, manage an EDR or manage the actual response, potentially from the issues that are coming up from the security risks."
"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."
"I think the response time could be improved."
"It would be great if the whole process of determining vendor risk could be simplified by Arctic Wolf."
"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

"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 find their pricing to be reasonable and competitive."
