Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

World-class support and highly effective for application control and elevation
Their product is solid. I have a hard time complaining much about it because when we do find little things, they are usually interface-related or related to things that would be nice to have. Their idea portal, unlike so many other vendors we deal with, shows movement. At least four to eight features of ThreatLocker exist because I made a request in the last five years, and it became a feature of the actual product. When it comes to improvements, we moved the product as customers, and we got to move the product by making suggestions. They seem to be very reactive to it, so there is not a whole lot that they actively need to change right now. It is one of those situations where when we run into something that would be nice to have, it happens. They make it work.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We chose the solution because it doesn't have daily updates, which is important for us in healthcare IT, where network usage and connectivity to hospitals matter."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"ThreatLocker's most valuable feature is its scanning capability, which executes all types of executable files."
"Customer service is good. The Cyber Hero program ensures there is always someone available to help."
"Being able to protect and trust nothing by default, known as zero trust, is the most important feature to me."
"I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The application management on any workstation with the solution is valuable. I find it valuable that it indicates whether the software is part of our pre-approved list, adding a nice layer of protection. It works great because people cannot just install or download any app from the web."
"Overall, I would rate ThreatLocker Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform a ten out of ten."
"The single pane of glass management for all this functionality is really the best feature, as it unifies many utilities that would have been separate costs before and lets us sleep at night knowing that things are being monitored 24 hours."
"The application control is a key feature of ThreatLocker."
 

Cons

"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"From my point of view, logging could be improved. Logging should be easier."
"ThreatLocker University offers many good training modules, but more in-depth training for advanced platforms would be beneficial."
"There are some times when applications get submitted, the hashes don't really line up."
"It would be beneficial if it became more recognized in the EU to gain respect."
"ThreatLocker would benefit from incorporating an antivirus feature or comprehensive 24-hour log monitoring, a valuable enhancement for both business and enterprise-level users."
"To become the best solution, some sort of integration or remote management, like remotely connecting, could be beneficial."
"From a reporting perspective, enhancing the ability to customize reports would be beneficial."
"The Cyber Hero certification exam could use a bit of love, but overall, I have been very satisfied with the platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"Although the pricing seems good, there have been inconsistencies in contract negotiations."
"ThreatLocker's pricing seems justifiable."
"I can't complain. Cheaper would always be nice, but I think it's reasonable compared to other software in the cybersecurity market."
"Considering what this product does, ThreatLocker is very well-priced, if not too nicely priced for the customer."
"Others say ThreatLocker is too expensive, and I tell them they're dreaming. It's well-priced for what it does."
"The pricing works fine for me. It's very reasonably priced."
"So far, it has been great. I have no complaints. Of course, everybody wishes it was cheaper."
"I do not deal with pricing, but I assume it is cost-effective for us. We choose a solution based on functionality and affordability."
