Reasonable price, scalable, useful for Malops detections, and helpful for layered defense
We are not satisfied with their support. We are facing some challenges. They should be proactive, but we have to chase them a lot. This is where there is room for improvement. They should be proactively serving their customers. We had some batch update issues, and we're still working on them. We are almost there, but it took a couple of email exchanges in order to achieve it.
Andres Plaza - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a lot of things for Malops detections."
"The ability to isolate the device when something is happening and the network access control element are valuable features."
"It's secure, and we know it's secure."
"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."
"Customer service and support are exceptional."
"The customer service is really good."
"I believe it is probably the best around."
"We stopped two attacks so far."
"ThreatLocker's support and Cyber Heroes have the absolute best support in the industry, in my opinion, bar none."
 

Cons

"Their support needs improvement. We have to chase the Customer Success Manager a lot to get things done. It should have more features in terms of portability. It should be more scalable on other endpoints such as mobile devices and BYOD."
"As far as an improvement regarding ThreatLocker Cyber Hero MDR, there are still some things that, out of the box, it would be nice to have a more fine-grained ability to create certain exclusions."
"Pricing is a bit high, with a minimum of 50 devices. Lowering that for small companies would be great."
"If there is any aspect to improve, perhaps affordability for small businesses could be considered."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is a bit high, with a minimum of 50 devices. Lowering that for small companies would be great."
"There are still gaps in the EDR when benchmarked against SentinelOne, but it's improving quickly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable, but there are other products that are cheaper than this."
"It has been excellent."
"The pricing is not so bad. My clients do not like it, but they are following our pricing."
"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."
"ThreatLocker is worth every penny and a couple more."
