How does Arctic Wolf pricing compare to CyberOne?
Arctic Wolf pricing: AWS Marketplace lists MDR Basic at $44,000/year for up to 100 users (12-month term).

Upper-tier pricing not published. Contact required for MDR Core and MDR Core Premium quotes. Watch for with Arctic Wolf: 60-day renewal-cancellation notice reported by a G2 reviewer, longer than the typical 30 days; miss it and all services auto-renew.; Annual escalation clauses of 3 to 7% are standard and compound over multi-year terms; lock expansion pricing at signature or mid-contract seat adds default to then-current list.. Watch for with CyberOne: Requires existing Microsoft licensing (at minimum Microsoft 365 Business Premium or equivalent Defender licenses). These costs are separate and are not included in CyberOne's fee.; Microsoft Sentinel runs in the customer's tenant, meaning Azure consumption costs for data ingestion are billed by Microsoft separately and can rise meaningfully during high-volume incidents..
