Small IT team (3 people) approaching EDR renewal — ESET vs Arctic Wolf Aurora MDR, thoughts?

Hi everyone,
We’re a small IT team of 3 managing a mid-size company’s endpoints. Our **ESET EDR** license is coming up for renewal, and we’re evaluating whether to stick with ESET or move to **Arctic Wolf Aurora** (MDR + EDR).
Some context:
* Current setup: ESET EDR, all alert triage and response handled internally by our team.
* We don’t have a dedicated SOC; after-hours monitoring is basically impossible.
* Goal: maximize security coverage, reduce risk, but stay within reason on cost and operational overhead.
We’re trying to figure out:
1. For a team this size, how valuable is having **MDR / 24×7 SOC support** like Aurora provides?
2. Are there practical differences in day-to-day operations between **ESET alone vs Aurora**?
3. Any experiences on **alert fatigue, false positives, and actual remediation help** with small IT teams?
Appreciate any honest feedback or lessons learned from folks who’ve had to make a similar decision.
