Arctic Wolf vs. Critical Insight
Arctic Wolf Technology Limitations
-
Agents: Arctic Wolf forces you to use their agent to get their full service. We allow you to use any of the best agents, but both allow you to be agentless.
-
No Physical or Virtual Sensors: Arctic Wolf has longer MTTD/MTTR and limited security capabilities at the edge of networks.
-
Integrations: Arctic Wolf has limited out-of-the-box integrations for security, IT/OT, and productivity products.
-
Actionability: Arctic Wolf security analysts don't have investigation-ready incident insight.
-
Limited Visibility: Threat data from on-prem, cloud, and OT is not holistically combined for analysis. Continuous threat visibility is limited.
But that's skimming the surface...

Arctic Wolf Service Limitations
-
Licensing: Additional capabilities or functionalities are an additional cost. Hidden fees and upgrade charges.
-
Enterprise Business Focused: You can expect to wait for services and responses from your "Arctic Wolf Concierge" unless you are an enterprise customer.
-
Emergency Access to Expertise: No immediate advice in a security event 24x7 you'll have to use the 800 number phone tree to get to a real person.
-
Security Posture Limitations: Arctic Wolf has no integrated professional services that include assessments, technical testing, or user training.
-
Workforce Challenges: Arctic Wolf client-facing employees are mainly entry level and layoffs have created a less than great culture or sustainable workforce.
... The truth stings.
