"Effective macOS Security with Language Barrier"
4/5
What do you like best about ThreatDown?

I find that ThreatDown is a very good solution for macOS clients to enhance security. It's good that users are not constantly bothered with notifications about scans being performed. ThreatDown works in the background and only requires the user's attention when it is really necessary. This makes it a valuable tool for me. Additionally, the initial setup is simple and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatDown?

The client on macOS does not yet offer all the features available on Windows. Additionally, it is only localized in English, and there are no notifications, reports, or other things in other languages. Everything is in English. This is very disadvantageous for some customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Angela Kelleher of ThreatDown

Hi Johannes,

Thank you for your positive feedback on ThreatDown's feature set and performance on Macs. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of browser support on macOS. We are actively working on enhancing our product to provide a more comprehensive solution for your security needs.

Many thanks,

Angela

"Invisible Protection, Seamless User Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about ThreatDown?

I use ThreatDown to protect end user devices from malware, ransomware, viruses, and for patch deployment and updates. I love the ease of use and the seamless user interface. ThreatDown is intuitive and easy to use with its web interface, and the end user application is simple and lightweight, not hogging a lot of computer resources. I love that it's basically invisible to the end users and how easy it is to manage and push out configuration changes, updates, and patch management. The management is easy and straightforward in the web management portal, with easy-to-follow guides, best practices, and tutorials that make setup and configuration seamless, fast, and easy. I appreciate that the lightweight application doesn't disturb end users or eat up their device resources, as it's one of the few protection suites where we see virtually no impact on the end user device resources. ThreatDown is simple and easy to set up and deploy, and I couldn't be more pleased with the ease of install and configuration. We migrated from Trend Micro Worry Free Business Security to ThreatDown several years ago and could not be more pleased, having far fewer instances of users getting compromised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatDown?

I have no issues with ThreatDown at this time. I am very happy with the product suite and the offerings in it. If anything could be improved, I think adding some options for the end user application to run scans and custom scans would be beneficial but are certainly not deal breakers.

"Seamless Integration, Budget-Friendly Security"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ThreatDown?

I use ThreatDown to protect our computers and servers from malware attacks. I like the software suite and ease of use, as well as the easy integration into our Windows-based systems with less false positives than other software. This not only gives us peace of mind but helps us stay on budget by reducing the total cost of ownership. I also appreciate the simple, quick setup process, which is well backed with instructions. Another reason I enjoy ThreatDown is its cost-effectiveness compared to our previous solution, Symantec Endpoint Protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatDown?

I think the software suits all of MY needs. To someone else there may be features missing but for me, only using a fraction of the capabilities, its everything I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Grace B of ThreatDown

Hi Gareth,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—we really appreciate you being a ThreatDown customer.

It’s great to hear that ThreatDown is providing strong protection while remaining easy to use and integrate into your Windows environment.

"Painless Setup, Robust Endpoint Protection"
5/5
What do you like best about ThreatDown?

I use ThreatDown for patching, monitoring, and securing endpoints. It makes the patching of systems easy for me and shows which systems have vulnerabilities that need to be corrected. I like that it allows me to sleep at night knowing that the system is being monitored and if any malware or ransomware attempts are made, they will be taken care of. It allows me to focus on other things in the environment while knowing that the security and updates on endpoint systems are being taken care of. ThreatDown is also great for protecting against websites that have infections and blocking things from coming into my network. The setup was super easy, and the Managed Services make everything else super easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatDown?

IT is a bit too restrictive on MS Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Sometimes it does not like the formulas and can be too restrictive to the point that I turned off the setting for restricting MS Office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Grace B of ThreatDown

Hi!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—we really appreciate you being a ThreatDown customer.

It’s great to hear that ThreatDown is helping simplify patching, improve visibility into vulnerabilities, and give you peace of mind knowing your environment is protected. We’re glad the platform is allowing you to stay secure while focusing on other priorities, and that setup and managed services have made things easy along the way. We also appreciate your feedback around MS Office restrictions—insights like this are valuable as we continue to refine the experience.

"Effortless Security Management with Outstanding Support"
4/5
What do you like best about ThreatDown?

ThreatDown is a fantastic product that we use daily for around 27 clients. Across our client base, we use the full range of ThreatDown products, including Email Security, DNS Filtering, Patch Management, EDR, MDR, and more.

Customer support is quick to respond and resolves issues as efficiently as any support desk can. The product itself is easy to deploy and manage, with clear and flexible policies available through the OneView portal.

While we don’t currently use many integrations, I did set up the Microsoft Teams integration for a period, and it was straightforward to configure and worked as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatDown?

Sadly, ThreatDown is sometimes too effective and can be a little over-zealous with its blocking. We have also experienced some performance issues on end-user machines; however, ThreatDown support has been excellent and is working closely with us to identify and resolve the problems.

"Suprisingly and refreshingly amazing"
5/5
What do you like best about ThreatDown?

It streamlines everything into one place and makes it much easier for our small team to monitor and manage a large number of devices. Installation on new devices is super simple, integration is was ridiculously easy, there isn't a single day that goes by that it isn't being used, and every member of their support team has been a class act. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatDown?

I don't really have any complaints about Threatdown. I guess the UI could use a little bit of work to make things simpler? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Angela Kelleher of ThreatDown

Hi Daniel!

We're thrilled to hear that ThreatDown has been such a valuable asset to your team! Thank you for the positive feedback and for highlighting the ease of installation and integration, as well as the proactive support from our team.

"Malwarebytes EDR, MDR, and Email Security"
5/5
What do you like best about ThreatDown?

Malwarebytes is very simple to use, and the interface looks clean and gets updated often. It’s also easy to roll out across all our computers, and it alerts me right away if something suspicious is happening on a machine. The Managed Detection and Response service has honestly helped me sleep better because I know someone is watching our systems around the clock.

Compared to other tools we’ve used, Malwarebytes has been more effective and much easier to manage. It really feels like a “set it and forget it” solution. On the rare occasions when I’ve needed support, their team has responded quickly and solved the issue without any hassle.

We also recently added their Email Security service, and it’s been working great. We’re seeing very few false positives, and managing it is extremely easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatDown?

The products is expensive but is in line with similar products and I am happy with all the features I receive with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi!

It’s great to hear that ThreatDown is delivering strong, reliable protection while remaining easy to manage across your environment.

It’s also great to hear that Email Security has been easy to manage with minimal false positives.

"Good, highly-detailed visibility into managed systems and their security health."
4/5
What do you like best about ThreatDown?

ThreatDown provides a single site where security software for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, and iOS devices can be managed. Not only is the state of the protection agent easily ascertained, but information about the hardware, software, and running state of the system are also available. Agents can be easily configured and installed via EXE, MSI, PKG, and DMG, as well as through download links and store apps. Customer support is quick to respond and has quality, detailed answers, in the rare event you need to use their services.

This software has support for differing detection profiles, with the ability to exclude certain executables (e.g.: cryptomining apps, when they are authorized and not part of some external attack) from detection, on selected systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatDown?

iOS and Android devices are often difficult to identify, and individual Windows/Linux/MacOS devices are identified only by system name, which is often random. iOS devices frequently show as uncontactable in the web console, even when actively in use. Care must be taken, frequently, to rename systems in the web console, to know which ones they actually are. This is most important when default system names are not specifically altered ahead of time, prior to agent installation.

Mac devices require admin permission for system settings alterations to allow the software to run correctly. It would be lovely if this happened automatically, as part of the installation process, but it doesn't. Expect to take 2-4 extra steps once the basic installation is complete before Mac OS is working with ThreatDown properly. Most of these steps will be spelled out when you install, but when updates require new permissions, you'll need directly console access, a savvy user, or some sort or remote access/assistance package to get it working properly again.

"Simple to Use, Great Information on Patches"
4/5
What do you like best about ThreatDown?

I like the simplicity of using ThreatDown. It's very easy to understand where the menus are, how to act on the hosts, and recognize which software is updated or needs security updates. I also appreciate that it immediately gives me information on security patches and those recommended by the community, allowing me to quickly understand what to pay immediate attention to and what can be postponed.

What do you dislike about ThreatDown?
