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

"Integration with other vendors is possible."
"The profiler option allows me to see every detail in a systematic manner from a switch. I can choose the switch and I can see the port NAC address and time."
"Ivanti NAC's most valuable feature is reasonable pricing."
"ThreatLocker Protect has improved my organization greatly."
"ThreatLocker's most valuable feature is its scanning capability, which executes all types of executable files."
"The solution has made knowing and managing what is running on our clients' devices much easier for us. We know they cannot run what they are not supposed to run."
"It is a comprehensive platform that allows you to do a lot of things."
"Being able to protect and trust nothing by default, known as zero trust, is the most important feature to me."
"We use it most heavily for elevation control, blocking and giving rights only to certain people or devices, and not allowing the rest to access the software. Elevation control has been second to none for me."
"Overall, I would rate ThreatLocker Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform a ten out of ten."
"Allowlisting, in general, is valuable because it allows us to have a lot more granular control over what is executed on a desktop. We are also able to ringfence known vectors of attack through Office applications, email, browsers, etc."
 

Cons

"At some point, the server got cached and we faced several issues that impacted our customers. We would like to have this resolved."
"The product's performance needs improvement."
"The documentation needs to be improved. There are a lot of details that are missed which makes it confusing."
"I'm not sure if I'm using it wrong; however, I find that I have to babysit it too much."
"One of the things I would really like is the ability to create custom groups and assign machines to them."
"From a reporting perspective, enhancing the ability to customize reports would be beneficial."
"The reporting could be improved."
"I have no complaints, but a little bit more Mac support would be great."
"Identifying areas of improvement is challenging, however, perhaps adding a few more built-ins could help."
"It would be beneficial if it became more recognized in the EU to gain respect."
"We identified several areas that we would like to see improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe ThreatLocker's pricing model is fair and flexible, allowing account managers to offer customized deals based on our specific needs."
"Considering what this product does, ThreatLocker is very well-priced, if not too nicely priced for the customer."
"The pricing is reasonable and normal. I do not have any problems with the cost."
"Others say ThreatLocker is too expensive, and I tell them they're dreaming. It's well-priced for what it does."
"I do not know about the licensing and price as it comes bundled from our MSP. However, it seems fairly reasonable for us, which is why we chose it."
"The price of ThreatLocker Allowlisting is reasonable in the market, but it is not fantastic."
