Stable, good for malware detection and prevention
I use it for general endpoint protection and the usual stuff like malware detection and prevention It secures my environment.  One thing that could be easier is initiating scans. If I want to scan an extra drive, it should be more straightforward. It's a bit clunky. I have been using it for…

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

"It secures my environment."
"Blocking is done comprehensively."
"ThreatLocker Allowlisting has all of these features integrated into one console, making it effective."
"What sets ThreatLocker apart from competitors offering similar solutions is ringfencing. The ringfencing controls, along with the application elevation features, keep it out of the user's line of sight while still protecting them."
"The unified alerts are useful."
"It's easy to use in regards to reducing attack surfaces."
"The most valuable feature is selective elevation, which allows elevating an individual process to admin privilege without granting admin privilege to that user, which has been by far the most useful feature outside of the overall solution itself."
"I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The customer service is excellent, ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"One thing that could be easier is initiating scans."
"Adding applications to the allowlist can sometimes feel overwhelming."
"If you have a thousand computers with ThreatLocker agents on them, when you approve or create a new policy saying that Adobe Reader that matches this hashtag and meets certain criteria is allowed to be installed, it applies at the top level or the organization level. It applies to every computer in the company. When you make that new policy and push it out and it goes out and updates all of the clients. Unfortunately, at this time, it does not look like they stagger the push-out."
"Identifying areas of improvement is challenging, however, perhaps adding a few more built-ins could help."
"More visibility in the built-ins would be nice."
"The Cyber Hero certification exam could use a bit of love, but overall, I have been very satisfied with the platform."
"I have no complaints, but a little bit more Mac support would be great."
"It is a little frustrating on my end since I like to go as quickly as I possibly can, and it slows me down."
"I was discussing with someone the other day, and it seems there is currently no solution for mobile users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair and there is no hard sell."
"The pricing is pretty fair, considering other solutions. Licensing-wise, it did not take long."

"The price is very reasonable, and we have been able to integrate ThreatLocker with all of our clients."
"I find ThreatLocker's pricing to be reasonable for the services it provides."
"The price of ThreatLocker Allowlisting is reasonable in the market, but it is not fantastic."
"I do not deal with pricing, but I assume it is cost-effective for us. We choose a solution based on functionality and affordability."
