Keeps Us Secure with Proactive Suspicious Activity Alerts
Used to be too expensive, but now we love it
Arctic Wolf: Amazing Team, Constant Innovation, and Peace of Mind 24x7
Another big plus is that the product/service is constantly advancing instead of staying stagnant. Every day we see a new feature, an improvement, or some kind of advancement. The addition of AI to help assist our local SOC is very valuable and allows SOC members to learn from and digest the information being collected. The integrations available to ensure you have full coverage also give peace of mind.
We constantly hear from leadership all the way down to application owners how much it helps them sleep at night knowing the great Arctic Wolf team is monitoring everything 24x7. The user interface has improved so much over the last year, with the goal of providing one pane of glass for teams. These advancements, along with the ease of use of the portal, have proven very beneficial. Overall, the product meets our performance expectations, and it’s easy to show ROI to leadership who have invested in it.
The one downside is that it sometimes feels like more features are being added that require additional cost to take advantage of those services. When a customer invests in a company as an MSSP at a significant cost, it can be discouraging when new features are released that feel like they should have been included in the overall bundle customers purchased from the start. As more à la carte items sit outside the bundle, it starts to push us toward looking for a true full-package deal.

Vulnerability management improves with timely support and intuitive reporting
What is our primary use case?
Ensuring our vulnerability management program is adequate, with great real-time reporting on various risks to our environment, is one of the main use cases for Arctic Wolf Managed Risk, along with the timeliness of mitigating those risks or escalations in our incident response program.
What is most valuable?
Their staff is timely, being an extension of the team in escalations that can get verified in real time and escalated quickly when needed, which are some of the better features of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk.
There are benefits regarding the integration capabilities due to the way the dashboard is set up, which is pretty easy and intuitive. Their team is helpful. Our team works directly with them, so there is a lot of good one-on-one communication, especially monthly updates that we can look back on and do check-ins. They are really good about their program, looking at each of these various areas to focus on.
The user-friendly interface and customizable reporting helped our IT team interpret and act on the platform's insights because they did not have any problems using it. It took a little time when first getting on the platform to understand how to use it, but that is similar to any tool. Once they were on it, they did not have any problem navigating through the screens and understanding the data.
What needs improvement?
The integration capabilities of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk with our existing security tools or workflows could be enhanced. They have their own methodology for vulnerability scanning and reporting, but while we can integrate ours as well, I would prefer to see that capability improved.
The dashboard and reporting part of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk needs improvement. From a technical aspect, it is very good, but there are some things where the security team needs to dig in a little bit on how they might manipulate the data coming out. It is a very good platform for investigating and managing risk.

It is a bit hard to quantify how Arctic Wolf Managed Risk has positively impacted our organization overall. I cannot put that into any kind of quantifiable reason, but overall, it has done its job because we could mitigate that risk.
