Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response vs Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting comparison

"They have a portal where you can evaluate and mitigate any vulnerabilities that you and your network might have."

"The solution works well for our team as it offers a hands-off approach, which we need."

"The asset scanning feature and the entire solution, especially their advanced threat protection recently released, are very effective."

"The visibility into our endpoints is huge."

"The integration between Cisco AMPs and the Windows servers is most valuable. So, they can also sandbox machines on which they see something suspicious."

"Whenever there is a major thing like Exchange vulnerabilities, it scans our Exchange server for indicators of compromise. It then alerts us and points exactly where we need to go to check for ourselves if it is normal or not."

"I rate the overall solution nine out of ten."

"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."

"What really stands out about Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting is that it's easy to use, the cost is clear, and the pricing is transparent, with straightforward onboarding in hybrid, cloud, or on-premise environments."

"The solution helps to detect some suspicious items for us and our clients."

"It will be helpful if the dashboard is more granular."

"I can't think of any specific features that they need to add at the moment. As long as they continue to develop new solutions to support different operating systems and technologies, we are satisfied with their service. We appreciate the effort they put into adding new features and functionality to their service and believe they are doing a great job in providing us with all the necessary tools and resources to stay secure."

"It can sometimes take up to an hour to get notification of a problem and that's a long time."

"We need an easier way to audit and act on agents."

"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. It is, admittedly, very difficult because they don't know what normal human behavior is. If a hacker compromises a human account and then acts just like the human, how are you ever going to notice, unless you have some inside knowledge of how the company works? For example, they overlook account lockouts on user accounts, whereas in our own alerting system, we do not. We review every account lockout, and if it is bad, we contact the person, whereas they think of that as noise because they're more focused on the administrator-level compromise."

"It would be great if the whole process of determining vendor risk could be simplified by Arctic Wolf."

"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."

"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."

"We tried the proactive threat hunting feature, but it was not a good experience with Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting. It created more trouble than expected with false positives and non-expected answers."

"There is a lot of change in a small period. This might not be helpful for IT administrators and users."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"There is a lot of change in a small period. This might not be helpful for IT administrators and users."

"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."

"The pricing is pretty competitive."

"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."
