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.
Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Development Manager for Cybereason at Bechtle
Quick response and reliable restoration enhance security operations
If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service. I'm a bit hesitant, however, this would improve the product or the offering. Detection time already is very quick. The completeness of the offering was integrating more data. I am discussing with a customer who wishes to include identity data. Detecting early when someone tries to compromise your ID would be a nice feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have seen a return on investment, definitely saving about 20% of time in triaging security incidents, which has led to much less panic, and I have also saved money in terms of the cost of security incident payouts."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response is a good product, and I would recommend it for any business."
"After an easy onboarding, the monitoring started immediately."
"With Arctic Wolf AWN CyberSOC, they can save, in a lot of cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars by not hiring a security team."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the overall solution nine out of ten."
"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."
"Automated information on zero-day threats is provided without us needing to ask."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is endpoint management...The solution's support team is quite good at giving us feedback if there is an issue."
"The quick reaction and the ability to restore the state before within a short time are significant."
 

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."
"However, their new licensing model has room for improvement because of the limited user SKU."
"We need an easier way to audit and act on agents."
"It will be helpful if the dashboard is more granular."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response's analysis and remediation parts could be improved. It's not bad, but it needs improvement."
"I think the response time could be improved."
"While they do inventory assets, including software inventory and CVE updates based on software subscriptions, would be a major improvement."
"If you are not in the security field, this can be difficult to figure out from time to time."
"The interface, particularly the dashboard we use for looking at alerts, could be improved."
"If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service."
"For every new client or every new case, my company has to spin up a new instance, because of which there is a new URL."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Price-wise, Cybereason Managed Detection & Response is effective for larger companies, but if you have a small company with less than 1,000 employees, then it gets expensive."
