Room For Improvement

Arctic Wolf MDR needs better tool integration, user education, simpler licensing, improved dashboards, and reduced false alerts.
ThreatLocker Cyber Hero MDR requires better integration, affordability, training, transparent pricing, patch management, and guidance for optimal user experience.
The threat intelligence feature is expected to be a significant advantage.
We cannot fully secure these devices until they release an updated version of their agent software.
It is preferred that everything is seen under one tool rather than multiple platforms requiring multiple logins.
The Cyber Hero Support is not as effective as it is portrayed.
From an MDR perspective, the solution can have the ability to ingest logs from other sources, such as M365, firewalls, external sources, and even cloud SaaS-based platforms.
 

Setup Cost

Arctic Wolf's pricing is higher but offers extensive features and flexibility, valued for comprehensive enterprise security without hidden fees.
ThreatLocker Cyber Hero MDR offers flexible pricing deemed reasonable by many, but potentially high for smaller companies.
The pricing is okay and comparable to other solutions, with competitive pricing obtained for most options.
Pricing is a bit high, with a minimum of 50 devices.
We would have been one of the biggest partners in Ireland, so we got pretty good pricing at the start, and it is still competitive.
We have an essential users package where we charge per head, and then we have an advanced security offering that we charge per head, and we've baked ThreatLocker into that advanced offering for our clients.

The asset scanning feature and the entire solution, especially their advanced threat protection recently released, are very effective.
The solution works well for our team as it offers a hands-off approach, which we need.
We've seen an 80% to 90% improvement in remediation.
There is a tremendous amount that is helpful, such as their recording, watching the systems, locking down the systems, and their training.
When the update rolled out for version 18, it was able to catch a 3CX Supply Chain attack where a client had downloaded a DLL file that was trying to steal the authenticated Office 365 or authenticated G Suite tokens.

Featured Reviews

Kimberly Brock - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time threat detection has improved with comprehensive asset scanning
The threat intelligence feature is expected to be a significant advantage. However, a section for software inventory and real-time comparison with current CVEs would be beneficial. One can review an inventory of assets being scanned, including a software inventory along with CVE updates based on a company's software subscriptions, would be a game changer.
AP
Enables granular control through Ringfencing and works seamlessly for us as an MSP
The most valuable feature is ringfencing. It enables us to only allow what needs to be allowed into the environment and keep out anything else. It permits applications to perform without accessing anything they are not supposed to. For instance, if an application tries to utilize the command prompt unnecessarily, it blocks this action while still allowing users to operate the application. Being able to let the user or the customer continue to use that application but block the application from using the command prompt because it is not necessary is great. Being able to inform customers about enhanced security from a zero-trust standpoint has significantly improved our sales. We are able to walk up to a customer or call a new prospect and let them know that we are going to keep them secure at a level that they have not seen before. We are able to explain to them how cybersecurity works through it.
