"The great thing is that if you get a malicious email and you try to run something, ThreatLocker is not going to let it do anything. It is not going to let anything infect your network.""The most valuable feature is probably the ability to block programs from running. ThreatLocker has some built-in features that make it super easy. You can also contact their support within the program. If you're having issues, you can click on that button and connect with someone in five to 10 seconds.""The sandbox functionality is fantastic.""Application control, ring-fencing, and storage control are the most important features, followed closely by elevation.""The interface is clean and well-organized, making it simple to navigate and find what we need.""Using ThreatLocker is effortless because I can access it from an app on my phone, so I can help clients after hours. My client had an issue while I was at dinner, and I didn't have a tech on the problem, but I could deal with it from my phone. I can see what the client is doing and approve or deny it. It helps me deliver better service to my clients when they need it.""Every single feature has been invaluable.""The biggest improvement has been knowing that something unauthorized isn't going to get installed on anyone’s machines."

Cons
"The technical support takes too much time to resolve tickets.""It is challenging to extract and customize reports from the system.""The general support could be improved.""The setup phase of the product is not that easy and needs a person to have a certain level of expertise.""Integration can be improved."

More Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management Cons →

"ThreatLocker could offer more flexible training, like online or offline classes after hours. The fact that they even provide weekly training makes it seem silly to suggest, but some people can't do it during the day, so they want to train after work. They could also start a podcast about issues they see frequently and what requires attention. A podcast would be helpful to keep us all apprised about what's going on and/or offline training for those people who can't train during the week.""ThreatLocker Allowlisting needs to improve its user interface and overall workflow.""There are some times when applications get submitted, the hashes don't really line up.""The snapshots used in the ThreatLocker University portal are outdated snippets and have not been updated in conjunction with the portal itself.""The reporting could be improved.""We identified several areas that we would like to see improved.""One area I see for improvement is in the visibility of support tickets within the ThreatLocker ticketing system.""Adding applications to the allowlist can sometimes feel overwhelming."
