Strong security reporting has supported our consulting work and drives better integration choices
I rated Adlumin Security Operations probably the same as Huntress at eight. They are better at reporting and better integrations. The integrations in terms of the number of integrations you can run from them or connect to are not as many as available with Huntress, but they have easier implementation. Overall, I would say it is the same. I do not want to see any additional features in the next release of Adlumin Security Operations, but I would change the pricing a little bit for around SIEM integrations and SIEM data collection. That is probably the maximum I would do. I do not really have much to say because that is literally five percent of our deployments versus ninety-five percent being Huntress. My overall rating for this review is eight.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We normally focus on Huntress."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response is a good product, and I would recommend it for any business."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response has impacted my organization positively by helping remove stress and saving time for my team."
"This service makes answering audits much easier since it covers so many security best practices."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response has positively impacted my organization by catching many issues, eliminating risks, and preventing compromises; overall, it has been a great security feature."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is its ease of implementation."
"The solution works well for our team as it offers a hands-off approach, which we need."
"Security protection is the best feature of this product."
 

Cons

"Adlumin Security Operations's functionality is probably slightly better, but implementation and integration with Office 365 was not as straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"I have heard that the tool doesn't go right to the endpoints."
"The implementation process could be a little more streamlined."
"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."
"They could probably expand on their integration tools. They can integrate with more security tools."
"I would like to see them build the ability to co-sell an EDR platform, manage an EDR or manage the actual response, potentially from the issues that are coming up from the security risks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I find their pricing to be reasonable and competitive."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The pricing is pretty competitive."
