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.

Continuous monitoring has strengthened payment security and now reduces incident impact quickly
There are specific details that can be improved in Deepwatch. After implementing it, we tracked both response time and threat detection accuracy using the SIEM dashboard. We measured response time using MTTD and MTTR. There are areas that can be improved, such as every alert having a timestamp for detection time and acknowledgment. We observed the MTTR dropping from a few hours to under one hour after using Deepwatch, so baseline metrics can be enhanced. Deepwatch can reduce alert fatigue since sometimes it generates a high volume of alerts that overwhelm our team. This can create too many alerts in a short amount of time, making it hard for our team to understand what to do. Additionally, the dashboard can be improved for better user-friendliness for end-users, requiring better visualization of MTTR, threat trends, and risk scoring. Improvements can also be made in more automated playbooks for automated response to common threats, and there is room for deeper integration capabilities, as integration with some internal tools may require additional effort.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The tool definitely saves money for our company's customers."
"The solution works well for our team as it offers a hands-off approach, which we need."
"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."
"Security protection is the best feature of this product."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the managed detection and response component."
"They provide useful quarterly updates."
"Deepwatch positively impacts our organization by reducing incident response time because previously, there was no mechanism to follow up on incidents, such as any security breach in the payment gateway, and it has reduced response time by 40 to 60 percent while significantly improving threat detection accuracy with 24/7 monitoring even after business hours."
 

Cons

"It can sometimes take up to an hour to get notification of a problem and that's a long time."
"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."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response can be improved because the deployment was rather involved; the initial deployment was very lengthy, and there were many things to account for when we had to implement it initially, so making that process easier would be an improvement."
"I have heard that the tool doesn't go right to the endpoints."
"In the future, I would like to see a summary report."
"They could probably expand on their integration tools. They can integrate with more security tools."
"The implementation process could be a little more streamlined."
"If you are not in the security field, this can be difficult to figure out from time to time."
"Deepwatch can reduce alert fatigue since sometimes it generates a high volume of alerts that overwhelm our team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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