I like how easy it is to configure and manage, as well as how well it works. I have had extremely good luck with it, and i have used it since it was in beta form. I have looked at other offerings, but keep sticking with Sophos, which must mean something.

The thing about ThreatLocker is the admin has to know what they're doing. If they don't it can be a major pain in the thorn for your team. So ask yourself, does my admin know what they're doing? If they don't, I would look for a more admin friendly platform.
