Offers AI features that help improve detection and response capabilities
Speaking about the product's integration capabilities, I feel that I am probably not experienced enough to talk about it. Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response is still quite immature compared to other providers in the market. The tool sort of integrates with a few products, but it doesn't integrate with everything. The AI-driven tool helps improve detection and response capabilities, but human beings also manage it. You need the best of both worlds because AI can't do everything. One can still get false positives with the tool, so you need a human being. You also need AI to protect yourself against attacks. I probably haven't had enough experience to give a proper opinion, but with my experience this year, I think it is pretty good for its current market. It plays in both corporate and medium-sized companies and corporate-level businesses. The tool is not meant for an enterprise-sized business since there are other tools like CrowdStrike and Splunk, along with more mature solutions. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What's valuable about Arctic Wolf AWN CyberSOC is the cost savings it provides for companies that no longer have to hire a bunch of security people and pay for a SIM."
"The visibility into our endpoints is huge."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its ease of implementation."
"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."
"The integration between Cisco AMPs and the Windows servers is most valuable. So, they can also sandbox machines on which they see something suspicious."
"This service makes answering audits much easier since it covers so many security best practices."
"The product provides integrations with several different SaaS applications."
"After an easy onboarding, the monitoring started immediately."
"The product has valuable features for cloud IoT device enhancement, intelligent threat detection, etc."
 

Cons

"The implementation process could be a little more streamlined."
"They could probably expand on their integration tools. They can integrate with more security tools."
"It can sometimes take up to an hour to get notification of a problem and that's a long time."
"While it isn't a regular occurrence, there have been some gaps in response to some support questions. Questions get answered, yet there are times it takes longer than I'm comfortable with."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see a summary report."
"I would actually be interested in having fewer features at a lower price."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response's analysis and remediation parts could be improved. It's not bad, but it needs improvement."
"The product is more expensive than other vendors in terms of features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product is more expensive than other vendors in terms of features."
