What do you like best about ThreatLocker?

It allows me to sleep easier knowing that we have a much stronger barrier. With how good the Cyber Hero team is, it really takes away any headaches when it comes to security—they’re incredibly quick and helpful with anything I need assistance on. Knowing I have the support of their MDR team 24/7 gives us real security no matter what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker?

It takes some time to fine-tune policies, especially in the beginning, and managing approvals can be a bit of a learning curve. It’s not a “set-it-and-forget-it” tool, but once properly configured, it provides solid security without too much ongoing hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker solving and how is that benefiting you?

ThreatLocker helps us lock down what runs in our environment, so we’re not constantly worrying about ransomware, malware, or unauthorized software slipping through. The default-deny approach means only approved applications can run, giving us way more control. On top of that, their storage and network controls help keep things even tighter. Having their 24/7 MDR support is a huge plus—it means if anything does pop up, we’ve got a team ready to jump on it, so we can focus on our work instead of stressing about security.

What do you like best about ThreatLocker?

Deny all, unless approved. Threatlocker have paid for itself a few times now. I had a user who was too, hurrying through a bunch of emails and accidentally clicked on a link. It was a malicious link and tried to execute something. The user called me and said something flashed across the screen. I checked ThreatLocker. ThreatLocker stopped the loading of a malware.

I had another incident where a purchaser was trying to order a part they found online. The purchaser kept clicking on the order button and a message kept popping up. The purchaser wasn’t reading the message. When I seen what they were doing . I asked why they didn’t read the message? I explained that the order button was trying steal the credit information. It was a banker Trojan virus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker?

Sometimes I will get a deny and I can’t figure what it is because it was created by a common Microsoft process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has stopped unwanted execution of programs. Threatlocker keeps users from installing programs on their computer. I have had new users try to install programs and browsers extensions on their computer without permission.

Threatlocker will not Install programs updates whenever its wants without Threatlocker approval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ThreatLocker?

First and foremost, the Threatlocker (TL) support team is excellent. Our experience was consistent throughout implementation and didn't drop off after we were up and running. Our use of TL is constantly changing and growing. The solutions engineers have been there too to guide us along the way.

Or organization runs at a fast and competitive rate so traditional application change requests are to slow and to cumbersome for users.

I also never expected TL to take us beyond application control, but their network control module enabled us to layer additional security on top of network segmentation. I'm addition to several other modules TL is the closest solution we have to a "single pane of glass" that simplifies management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker?

The early version of the UI was missing some elements that made certain actions cumbersome. However this was resolved in the new version that was released while we were still in the implementation phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ThreatLocker?

There are aspects of Cyber Ins that are necessary, so let’s get that out of the way.

But Ins is reactive whereas properly managed Default Deny is proactive. Decide where you want your $$ to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker?

TL, like any good solution, needs attention and configuration. If you are serious about managing and securing your environment, it should get attention almost everyday. So if I have to pick what I dislike about TL, it would be that it IS a good solution so I need devote resources to managing it. This is not a Set and Forget tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker solving and how is that benefiting you?

No “Clicky-Clicky” allowed. Well you CAN click on things, but nothing will execute unless previously allowed or subsequently approved. That is a big win for me.

What do you like best about ThreatLocker?

The product itself is excellent, but the standout is how Threatlocker work with your to make sure your environments are secured correctly, with monthly reviews. The support is top notch too, they are a real pleasure to work with. We are so pleased with the product it is not included in our stack as standard, especially now it has even more features. Deployment is a total breeze, and implementation via intune or your RMM of choice will have it in the wild in seconds. We would not be without this product as it works so well and detecting things on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ThreatLocker?

It has brought clarity to our department giving us a deeper look into what is actually on our corporate machines.

What do you like best about ThreatLocker?

My favorite thing about ThreatLocker is the support.Their knowledge base is filled with documentation that helps to answer most questions but whenever I need additional support there is always a quick and courteous response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker?

My least favorite thing about ThreatLocker is that it doesn’t use TLSH hashes. Whenever a developer changes something in a script, it gets blocked by ThreatLocker because the hash changed. I understand that it can be allowed via file name but that feels less secure as someone with inside knowledge can simply replace the file with their own and it would be allowed.

What do you like best about ThreatLocker?

ThreatLocker allows are small IT/Security team to monitor and control applications and threats that our end users try to introduce into our environment. The ability to screen new apps in a VDI and perform elevation requests from the same system keeps the management to a minimum.

The support from ThreatLocker is also some of the best I have ever seen in 30 years in IT. We have answers to questions in minutes. A lot of time we get answers from ThreatLocker in less time that it takes for some of other vendors to answer a phone call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker?

The only downside to ThreatLocker is that the ala cart nature of the offerings makes it a hard to understand what products you are getting. The staff is good about explaining this but it can be a little unclear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker solving and how is that benefiting you?

ThreatLocker is helping us move towards a fully approved list of application in our environment. It is also allowing us to perform privilege elevations and device level network control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ThreatLocker?

It's Deny-All posture is the best thing ThreatLocker; nothing is allowed unless whitelisted. Integration is seamless using our RMM, the backend is very usable for our support team and customer support is really on it. We use it on all servers and subscription based on end user devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker?

End-Users sometimes have a hard time grasping the advantages of Zero Trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the past; users with Local Admin (or even higher levels of access) could install everything they wanted; we kind of mitigated that with Active Directory Policies, but it wasn't ideal. ThreatLocker took that problem away from us and made securing and monitoring of end-user devices and servers a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
