Efficiently monitoring and detecting suspicious activities
One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments. For instance, once we were connecting different parts in China, and we had to reserve resources for the blue source of the login of task no v. ConnectWise Fortify successfully mitigated the issue and monitored any suspicious activity in the Microsoft environment. Despite the inconvenience, the Microsoft environment is still active and susceptible to cyber threats. We do a lot of research and utilize ConnectWise Fortify to restart and restore the system. It's essential to have a solution like ConnectWise Fortify to protect against cyber threats.

Enables granular control through Ringfencing and works seamlessly for us as an MSP
The most valuable feature is ringfencing. It enables us to only allow what needs to be allowed into the environment and keep out anything else. It permits applications to perform without accessing anything they are not supposed to. For instance, if an application tries to utilize the command prompt unnecessarily, it blocks this action while still allowing users to operate the application. Being able to let the user or the customer continue to use that application but block the application from using the command prompt because it is not necessary is great. Being able to inform customers about enhanced security from a zero-trust standpoint has significantly improved our sales. We are able to walk up to a customer or call a new prospect and let them know that we are going to keep them secure at a level that they have not seen before. We are able to explain to them how cybersecurity works through it.

Pros

"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."
"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."
"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"ThreatLocker's support and Cyber Heroes have the absolute best support in the industry, in my opinion, bar none."
"Our customers now have the confidence that they can work without being impeded, losing access or getting compromised."
"Being able to inform customers about enhanced security from a zero-trust standpoint has significantly improved our sales."
"The most valuable feature is ringfencing. It enables us to only allow what needs to be allowed into the environment and keep out anything else. It permits applications to perform without accessing anything they are not supposed to."
"ThreatLocker is worth every penny and a couple more."
"I believe it is probably the best around."
"I did a detailed search for two years, and ThreatLocker Zero Trust is the only one that does what it says it can do."
"It's an important solution to have in order to maintain a strong security posture, especially as we're seeing things like supply chain attacks, where people are accidentally downloading malware from our vendors."
 

Cons

"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."
"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."
"From an MDR perspective, the solution can have the ability to ingest logs from other sources, such as M365, firewalls, external sources, and even cloud SaaS-based platforms. This way, we can obtain a holistic picture."
"The ultimate, most amazing solution in the market could be less pricey and more transparent."
"Pricing is a bit high, with a minimum of 50 devices. Lowering that for small companies would be great."
"The Cyber Hero Support is not as effective as it is portrayed. There is a lot of miscommunication in notes, which are very buried and not easy to find."
"It would be great if they handled patch management, and I am aware that they are currently working on it."
"There are still gaps in the EDR when benchmarked against SentinelOne, but it's improving quickly."
"We have not used it for long enough, but there are some things users have asked for, such as integration with other platforms for reporting. They want a single glass location to use all the tools."
"We have seen a couple of approval requests come through where if the user types in a reason for why they need it, they'll get approved based on the reason versus the application that are actually required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"It is pretty good. We would have been one of the biggest partners in Ireland, so we got pretty good pricing at the start, and it is still competitive. Pricing depends on what we are up against."
"It has been excellent."
"The pricing is not so bad. My clients do not like it, but they are following our pricing."
"ThreatLocker is worth every penny and a couple more."
