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.

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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response offers include providing an up-to-date view of the vulnerabilities that exist in the network."
"The product provides integrations with several different SaaS applications."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization by giving us an overview of security without having to go to individual ports and do the correlation, as they do the correlation for you."
"After an easy onboarding, the monitoring started immediately."
"The integration between Cisco AMPs and the Windows servers is most valuable. So, they can also sandbox machines on which they see something suspicious."
"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."
"The solution works well for our team as it offers a hands-off approach, which we need."
"Arctic Wolf is laser-focused on providing top-notch customer service."
"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

"We need an easier way to audit and act on agents."
"Some of the alerts or reports were not very easy to understand, and it took time to go through those, which was sometimes a little frustrating."
"More integrations with various security tools to improve data ingestion would be beneficial."
"I think Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response can be improved by addressing the high turnover with employees at the company, which made it hard to find a point person within the company to move transactions forward."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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

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