It scales with you.
 

Stability Issues

8.1
Users find Fidelis Elevate stable with minor issues, usually resolved promptly, resulting in high stability ratings.
Sentiment score
8.8
ThreatLocker Cyber Hero MDR is highly reliable, with users praising its stability and prompt threat resolution despite occasional training issues.
What's been wonderful about ThreatLocker is when we have found an issue and identified it, the entire team has taken those things seriously and gotten them remediated for us and our clients quickly, and more quickly than I've experienced with other vendors.
I would rate it around nine out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

Fidelis Elevate users criticize its Windows Server dependency, endpoint report quality, complexity, cost, and email security efficacy.
Desirable features include integration, affordability, EDR improvements, better training, communication, patch management, third-party API support, and granular control.
It is preferred that everything is seen under one tool rather than multiple platforms requiring multiple logins.
The Cyber Hero Support is not as effective as it is portrayed.
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.
 

Setup Cost

ThreatLocker Cyber Hero MDR is seen as competitively priced, offering good value, especially for larger companies, with flexible options.
Pricing is a bit high, with a minimum of 50 devices.
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.
We have an essential users package where we charge per head, and then we have an advanced security offering that we charge per head, and we've baked ThreatLocker into that advanced offering for our clients.
 

Valuable Features

Fidelis Elevate excels in network visibility, remote access, data retrieval, anomaly detection, and cross-platform incident response tools.
ThreatLocker Cyber Hero MDR enhances security with application ringfencing, quick incident responses, and 24/7 monitoring, boosting trust and productivity.
We've seen an 80% to 90% improvement in remediation.
There is a tremendous amount that is helpful, such as their recording, watching the systems, locking down the systems, and their training.
When the update rolled out for version 18, it was able to catch a 3CX Supply Chain attack where a client had downloaded a DLL file that was trying to steal the authenticated Office 365 or authenticated G Suite tokens.

Featured Reviews

Mostafa Ameen - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced threat detection capabilities with comprehensive incident response features providing robust cybersecurity for organizations
The initial aspect concerns two engines. The first one mentioned is available for searching behaviors directly. The second engine involves the Google Ade tool, which operates on the machine. The challenge arises when attempting to rectify protection rules, causing confusion. It would be beneficial to enhance Rigixs Query. I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls.
AP
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.
