ThreatLocker

Pros: $92

Cons: I​‍​‌‍​‍‌ encountered several issues with this platform. Initial Setup Complexity: The setup was quite overwhelming when I first started using ThreatLocker. While the platform offers a lot of control and customization, it still takes a considerable amount of time to understand and properly configure the policies. Learning Curve: The product implements a Zero Trust model; hence, it requires some technical background. A new admin or a small team without a dedicated IT staff might find it difficult initially. Frequent Policy Adjustments: Initially, I had to constantly adjust the settings to allow the legitimate applications, which was somewhat inconvenient until the system got familiar with our ​‍​‌‍​‍‌environment.

Pros: 1. Easily identify vulnerable applications and block them. 2. The deployment of this security software is very simple. 3. It also offers a mobile app, making it convenient to respond to alerts.

Cons: 1. Making changes in an existing running environment is quite challenging. 2. The product has been observed to perform very slowly.

Pros: I like that I my computer software is constantly and consistently being monitored. I can do my work while it does it’s in the back ground.

Cons: Sometimes they are overly cautious or overly sensitive. But I suppose they know more of what’s out there in the cyber world.

Pros: It is very thorough at scanning your environment, identifying and removing any threats. It has excellent customer support, you never have to wait long for a response.

Cons: The interface can be extremely slow, incurring repeated timeouts. If you try to alter your setup, from the original design, you'll likely run into trouble.

Pros: The Vendor Support has been Fantastic! Their Application Control and Elevation Control has been a great addition to DiD Security Stack! The ability to overwrite Microsoft Windows default UAC with ThreatLocker and give end users more control over apps that are approved to run is a huge help for those tools that require Admin writes just to function.

Cons: The ability to control the Tray settings and the ability to add customer popups to the Request Access popup is my least favorite part of the tool. It's pretty limited and doesn't allow much ability to customization options.

Pros: Overall it has been a fantastic experience the software and solution is solid and the support and team have been invaluable getting this implemented across our customer base. Once properly implemented (which does take time and effort) it provides a controlled, safe environment and sets secure boundaries for our clients systems without the large performance overheads that so many other applications impose. The cost of Threatlocker and the time you need to provide to getting it set-up is absolutely worth it. Not only does the application deliver peace of mind to the customer environments we have deployed it to, it also gives us confidence knowing they are safe and secure. It ticks all the boxes for one of the biggest challenges out there and that's securing customers and meeting Cyber Security requirements.

Cons: I don't quite see this as a con personally but prospective customers need to be aware that this is a complex security tool which requires a large commitment of time and effort to get configured. It's not by any stretch of the imagination and tool that you just install and forget.

Pros: 1. Easily capture the vulnerable applications and blocked those. 2. Very easy deployment of this security software. 3. It provides a mobile application as well which is very convinient to give responses on alerts.

Cons: 1. To make changes in the already running environment , it is quite difficult. 2. Very slow performance of this product observed.

Pros: As a large corporation, it is imperative to have cybersecurity to keep us safe from cyber threats. ThreatLocker provides us safety as a first line of defense against ransomware and vulnerability attacks. The feature I like most about ThreatLocker is the allowlisting feature. If it is not on the "allow" list, it will block it.

Cons: It is not a complete threat detection software as it does not include E-mails or webcam threat detection

Pros: I love the zero trust model that they use, as well as the ease of deployment and deployment management. The storage management is also fairly robust.

Cons: There is an extremely steep learning curve for policy management, which maybe tricky for non savvy users. This can also introduce policy errors as a result of improper use.

Pros: The onboarding process is painless, with the help of learning mode and the Threatlocker team.

Cons: Honestly- nothing comes to mind The team at Threatlocker are so willing to teach you and guide you through the process that it made this software a nobrainer.

Pros: ThreatLocker's default-deny approach effectively locks down our environment by proactively protecting our endpoints. Every two weeks, our reps meet with us, offering insights and assistance that make them feel like an extension of our team. Due to ThreatLocker's protection, we don't require additional MDR or XDR solutions, making it an efficient and effective way to keep our organization secure.

Cons: It's true that ThreatLocker requires a bit of a learning curve to become proficient with it, however, it's certainly not an insurmountable hurdle and it's definitely worth taking the time to become familiar with the platform. Our TL reps are always available for any questions or assistance we need, and they always go the extra mile to ensure we understand the platform.

Pros: The depth of features, especially the elevation and storage control, and the rapid and detailed response from the SOC team.

Cons: I wish I could purchase it via Pax8 to help with license reconciliation

Pros: [sensitive content hidden] on of the solutions engineers is super knowledgeable. He know his way around ThreatLocker like it was the back of his hand. I like how comprehensive it is and how much tweaking can be done for apps and other settings. ThreatLocker definitely helps me sleep better at night.

Cons: It is so comprehensive that it is a world unto itself, which means that it takes some learning to be able to make use of the tweaking.

Pros: I liked it ThreatLocker provides strong security when you install applications while being easy to use. The application whitelisting feature is great because it lets our company control which programs can run on our, which helps us to reduce the risk of malware. ThreatLocker combines solid security with with a simple interface, making it a great tool for keeping our computers safe.

Cons: Sometimes program installation take multiple requests in order to install. Especially when they use Command Line or scripts (e.g. Xampp). You have to wait for approval everytime which can delay the process of using that software.

Pros: First of all the Service provided by Threatlocker (In my case [sensitive content hidden] who is an excellent engineer - who really took the time to understand our needs and really understands the product). The implementation is always my worry with these types of tools, the implementation has been seamless due to the learning process. Combine [sensitive content hidden] on the implementation side with the Cyber Heroes quick response time this is a great end to end product.

Cons: Alerting on Threats, this is being really picky. But more specific alerting on threats with embedded information would be great.

Pros: $95

Cons: ThreatLocker is a robust solution. It can be very daunting to get started and comes with a time commitment to learn\configure. I could see how some companies could struggle getting through that phase, but it is worth it.

Pros: The people. Everyone we have interacted with, has been patient and understanding along with very knowledgeable!

Cons: Nothing as of now besides price but we understand we got a good deal for only 20 users

Pros: The interface is intuitive. I like the granularity of control over what we can allow deny. Deployment is easy with our RMM. Once I got the hang of it the management of it is very straight forward. Cyber Hero support is very responsive and helpful. Onboarding with Richard Dowdy has been great. He's been patient as we learn the product and explains things very clearly.

Cons: I suppose the initial learning curve. Although, it was not a big deal as we worked through it with Richard.

Pros: the "Built-in" Application definitions and Policies... and the Behind the scenes management (absorption) of the major OS (Microsoft) update releases - and the same for the major Applications (Adobe).

Cons: the setup of new Administrators has been tricky. Seems to be getting better.

Pros: Granular Control: I like the ability to control systems and application files.

Cons: The approval for an application in an acceptable time, which was taking care of switching to unifi.

Pros: ThreatLocker is a very reliable product that our company has been using for a while. It has successfully caught numerous threats and prevented us from falling victim to various cyber attacks.

Cons: ThreatLocker can be quite sensitive when downloading content from the internet, even from trusted websites. I often need to submit a ticket and wait for team approval. Sometimes it disrupts my workflow because I have to wait for an approval. However, given the statistics, the extra steps are worth it.

Pros: ThreatLocker distinguishes itself from typical MSP vendors by prioritizing integrity over trends. Through my interactions with them, I've gained trust in their commitment to being a steadfast ally in our cybersecurity efforts, acting as a vigilant guard against the proverbial fox (Defender) lurking near the hen house. Their 'default deny' strategy effectively removes false positives in SOC monitoring of EDR telemetry, providing peace of mind. Embracing this stringent approach ensures a more secure and restful night.

Cons: Adopting a default deny strategy was more transformative than I anticipated. The initial workload was surprising, but the value of Cyberhero support became clear quickly. For those considering this approach, I advise setting up regular weekly meetings to ensure diligent development of your initial policies. It’s a commitment that truly pays off in securing your environment.
