Support Engineer

We’ve been using it for about a year now, and it has already stopped multiple real security incidents.

Pricing is reasonable for what you get, and the support team has been great to work with.

Systems Administrator

The ease of deploying the Blackpoint client to all machines was super easy and it provides us so much piece of mind knowing we have another layer of protection against threats.  

system admin

We needed another layer of protection to find threats before they entered our networks.

Owner

The lack of integration among all product sets into the UI.   

IT Operations Manager

There were few other bugs which were notified to support team and they are working on these issues to fix.

Operations Director

Their knowledge is like none other and hey are always willing to talk with us about the Cybersecurity landscape so we can pass it down to our clients.

NETWORK ENGINEER

Ringfencing Technology: This technology helps the separation of the different functionalities of an application so that they cannot access data or other programs unless it is necessary, thus preventing lateral attacks and data leaks.

It is a very effective tool to actually implement the concept of Zero Trust security — giving you full insight and control over what is happening in your environment. Once I got past the initial learning curve, it was really obvious to me how effectively it stops unauthorized applications and possible threats from getting started.

The allowlisting capability is highly accurate and efficient — after the completion of the setup, it acts as a security layer that permits software to run only if they are pre-approved, thus providing unbeatable endpoint security.

Manager

It's providing us a perfectly clear view into what our devices are doing 100% of the time, which is now million times easier than was before and we can instantly act on that data after doing a search instead of waiting an hour for it all to roll in.

The management dashboard is a complete disaster, it is far too complex and I truly believe that new users will think they are reading a foreign language. How often do the marketplace apps for vendor integrations go out of date at exactly the moment you need them?

IT Director

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.

Director of Information Technology and Security

It's still involved, but it's an incredibly well designed product that allows us to do application allow listing, privilege access management for applications, and network and storage control.  

It also offers a mobile app, making it convenient to respond to alerts.

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.

Analyst

Initial setup can feel complex, and some policy adjustments require more time than expected.

Sales and Marketing Manager

The onboarding process painless with the help of the Threatlocker's learning mode and the Threatlocker team, you'll have a pretty solid baseline application whitelist within a couple weeks.

ITFM Analyst

The feature I like most about ThreatLocker is the allowlisting feature.   If it is not on the "allow" list, it will block it.

Systems Engineer

the Behind the scenes management (absorption) of the major OS (Microsoft) update releases - and the same for the major Applications (Adobe).

Managing Director

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

A new admin or a small team without a dedicated IT staff might find it difficult initially.

Amidst a market where PE Firms often push vendors towards aggressive sales tactics, reducing MSPs to mere extensions of their sales force, ThreatLocker stands out.

Director

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.

Director of Marketing

ThreatLocker is a major partner/vendor of ours, and for good reason; they are dependable and cutting-edge when it comes to their services.

The UI also does a good job of alerting administrators if you create any policies that are not secure or too broad in scope.

ThreatLocker's default-deny approach effectively locks down our environment by proactively protecting our endpoints.

We're very new with the product, but so far it has everything I look for in that it is easy to deploy and manage and having Cyber Hero there to approve application requests means our staff doesn't have to take time away from other tasks to review those.

Lead Security Analyst

It has single-handedly saved customers from potential compromise due to the way it allows and denies applications.

Performance is solid, and deployment is straightforward once configured.

The Application Control portion has been amazing, provided you put in the effort to tune the software for the tools you use.

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

Technical Director

Has increased our Security Posture business wide, has left me feeling so much more confident about the security of our infrastructure & endpoints.

The Cyber Hero team are available 24/7 and are always ready to help with any questions about the service or best practices and have now become an extension of our own team.

The audit tools make determining what needs to talk on each port between hosts simple.

We can restrict its application, file, registry and internet access. And the elevation control allows us to take local admin access away from users and have admin rights through individual policies within ThreatLocker.

Honestly, CrowdStrike Falcon really does work, which is a miracle.

Accounts payable and receivable

I’ve had to re ask if I could open a website before because I was unaware that I had to type in a reason.  

The tool is incredibly stable on our endpoints, and we've only seen minor breaks on devices with crazy high uptimes.

Application control, Elevation, Storage control  and now recently we are adding Networking and evironment hardening with Configuration manager to the stack.

The deployment of this security software is very simple.

Threat Researcher

Difficult to make changes in production environment along with multiple access issues faced.

You have to wait for approval everytime which can delay the process of using that software.

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

Network Engineer

HOWEVER,  ThreatLocker doesn't just sell to you and then drop you in the mess and charge you for their help like other companies.     

VP of Technology

The product gives me the confidence that my users will have the ability to introduce something malicious to our systems.  

The onboarding/success team are very thorough and attentive, and they meet with you as often as you need them to, and they continue meeting with you regularly to make sure everything is going well.

Tech Support and Network Support

I like how comprehensive it is and how much tweaking can be done for apps and other settings.  

With the help of the Cyber Heros teams we've deployed it to over 2000 endpoints without any significant issues.

Project Manager

The computers section you can only group by 500 where it was 1000 before.

Network control provides and easy interface to implement network micro segmentation.

Desktop Technician and IT Consultant

As an MSP, ThreatLocker is a major tool in our security stack.  

The implementation is always my worry with these types of tools, the implementation has been seamless due to the learning process.

Their commitment to value shines through exceptional support—knowledgeable and responsive, often resolving issues on the initial call.

ThreatLocker has restored my faith in vendors who prioritize genuine value over sales.
