Find out what your peers are saying about Arctic Wolf Networks, Palo Alto Networks, Netsurion and others in SOC as a Service."The visibility into our endpoints is huge."
"We can effectively manage the massive amounts of security data that we receive from various sources such as firewalls, switches, endpoints, and other log sources."
"The integration between Cisco AMPs and the Windows servers is most valuable. So, they can also sandbox machines on which they see something suspicious."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the managed detection and response component."
"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 product provides integrations with several different SaaS applications."
"After an easy onboarding, the monitoring started immediately."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its ease of implementation."
"The product has valuable features for cloud IoT device enhancement, intelligent threat detection, etc."
"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."
"The implementation process could be a little more streamlined."
"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."
"They could probably expand on their integration tools. They can integrate with more security tools."
"It will be helpful if the dashboard is more granular."
"We get a lot of false alarms, but that's because they don't know our network in detail. I think that could be alleviated if we told them more about our network so they could create rules to skip some of those things."
"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 can sometimes take up to an hour to get notification of a problem and that's a long time."
"The product is more expensive than other vendors in terms of features."
