How Alternatives Are Selected

1. Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response Services

4.9

We use Arctic Wolf SOC for a single-site organization (~450 employees) with M365/Defender, Firewall, VPN, AD/Azure AD and some minor local systems as core telemetry sources. Our primary goal was clear: 24/7 monitoring and response support, while enabling our internal team to focus an the truly relevant work. Overall, the experience has been very positive. The pre-sales process was straightforward, honest and set realistic expectations. The onboarding/transition was professional and security-first. The Concierge team sonsistently prioritized "what needs to be done to make the environment safer" over contract wording or pre-sales promises, wich built a lot of trust. Value started immediately after implementation - triage quality reduced noise significantly compared to what we handled internally before, and suspicious/likely true-positive events were handled in a structured and supportive way. Communication and availability are strong. Escalations are clear and the team is easy to reach when it matters. Regular sessions with the Concierge team cover reviews, roadmap topics and improvement opportunities, so it feels like an ongoing partnership rather than a pure ticket-based service. The main area for improvement is the ongoing transition to the new dashboard platform. As with many major platform migrations, some capabilities feel temporarily reduced compared to the previous experience. That said, the development pace is good and missing functionality is being addressed progressively. Also it feels like our opinions and change requests get evaluated.Read all insights and reviews for Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response Services

8. Bitdefender Managed Detection and Response Services

By Bitdefender

4.8

(106 Ratings)

Already being in the Bitdefender Platform has made the upgrade and deployment of MDR extremely easy. Simple as adding a license and updating endpoint policies to forward their logs onto the MDR SIEM for them to begin monitoring and protecting machines from incidents. Response times have always been within their 30 minute SLA at all hours of the day as the 3 SOCs follow the sun.Read all insights and reviews for Bitdefender Managed Detection and Response Services
