What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The tool's most valuable feature is its ease of implementation.
What needs improvement?
Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response's analysis and remediation parts could be improved. It's not bad, but it needs improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the product for eight months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response's stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool's scalability a ten out of ten. My company has around 450 users who use it 24/7.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were using a product from a local Danish vendor. We switched to Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response for cost and capabilities. It offered more features and better support, including superior threat intelligence feeds.
How was the initial setup?
I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten, which took nine weeks to complete with two resources. Operational maintenance is relatively minimal and very easy to manage. However, functional maintenance requires a skilled resource like me. The extent of personnel needed depends on the size of the organization. As the organization is not very large, I can handle it independently in my current role. However, I anticipate needing at least five or six people for maintenance tasks in a larger company, such as my previous role. The resource requirement aligns with the company's size.
What about the implementation team?
We did Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response's deployment in-house.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
Before choosing a security solution, it's crucial to conduct thorough due diligence. Consider factors such as the vendor's approach, strategy, and compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR. Assess the vendor's data centers, their capabilities for shifting data around in case of issues, and their approach to DLP (Data Loss Prevention) detection. Evaluate whether the services offered align with your company's strategy and needs.
Review the different agreements provided by the vendor, including Managed Detection and Response, vulnerability management, and incident response features. Check if your existing cyber insurance can be utilized to cover expenses in case of a breach. Consider whether your organization requires services like vulnerability management and incident response, and choose accordingly.
I rate the product a ten out of ten.
Seamless EDR & endpoint security solution
implementation is easy by a tech savvy person. However, it is not that easy to use by someone without technological knowledge
All the features are security-based. The Analyze CyclanceOPTICS helps you use the management console to querry device data collected by its agent to investigate any security threats and discover any comprise indicators. InstaQuery facet breakdown gives an interactive visual display of the various facets involved in the query so that it is easy to identify and follow the relational path
It enables you to lock an infected device or a potentially infected one, disable its Wi-Fi or LAN network to stop command or control activity, lateral movement of the malware or exfiltration of data.
It helps send actions to devices- here the remote response feature is used to securely execute scripts and run commands.
Generally, it has improved from the earlier features in 2020 and what they offer currently is great for various devices. I like it more
Helps identify what is going on with a PC and also helps in resolving the issue.
Since it is a machine learning based approach, it provides real time protection, analytics and results.
It hasped in the deplyment of packages for data collection whereby you are can either use the data collection packages available in the management console or create your own.

How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The deployment process is not highly complex but could be more streamlined and transparent.
What was our ROI?
I am beginning to see the return on investment because the tool saves me resources. On average, we get a 50% return on investment. We can't completely do away with your SOC team. However, I don't have to hire more people as I scale up. The solution’s service runs 24/7. It definitely takes a load off of me. I do not need a team 24/7.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is fair. It is not necessarily the most cost-effective, but it is not the worst.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated Red Canary and Rapid7. We chose Arctic Wolf because of its pricing and capabilities.
