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

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"Low performance requirements."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"We use ThreatLocker's Allowlisting to whitelist specific applications and prevent unauthorized software from running."
"ThreatLocker provides visibility into user activity and application usage, empowering organizations to define acceptable applications and web browsers."
"I really enjoy ringfencing and elevation features. It makes my life easier because I do not have to get on a computer to elevate a prompt to allow users to run something they run every day as an admin."
"We are seeing a return on investment, especially with our managers and customers."
"The customer service is excellent, ten out of ten."
"ThreatLocker Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform has helped reduce the incidents of clients getting exploits or ransomware put on their devices by 110 times."
"It's easy to use in regards to reducing attack surfaces."
"If all of our vendors would act and support us like ThreatLocker does, we would be happy."
 

Cons

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"I have no complaints, but a little bit more Mac support would be great."
"If you have a thousand computers with ThreatLocker agents on them, when you approve or create a new policy saying that Adobe Reader that matches this hashtag and meets certain criteria is allowed to be installed, it applies at the top level or the organization level. It applies to every computer in the company. When you make that new policy and push it out and it goes out and updates all of the clients. Unfortunately, at this time, it does not look like they stagger the push-out."
"One area I see for improvement is in the visibility of support tickets within the ThreatLocker ticketing system."
"The user experience could be improved. Most complaints we get are based on users wanting certain functionality."
"I'm not sure if I'm using it wrong; however, I find that I have to babysit it too much."
"Something we have come up against a couple of times is that we have two clients that are software developers. They create software that doesn't have digital signatures and that's not easy to categorize or whitelist with ThreatLocker. We have to go in and make custom rules to allow them to do their work and to be protected from malicious threats."
"There are some times when applications get submitted, the hashes don't really line up."
"It is a little frustrating on my end since I like to go as quickly as I possibly can, and it slows me down."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"Its price is fair. They have added some additional things to it beyond allowlisting. They are up-charging for them, but in terms of the value we get and the way it impacts us, we get a bang for our buck with ThreatLocker than a lot of our other security tools."
"I can't complain. Cheaper would always be nice, but I think it's reasonable compared to other software in the cybersecurity market."
"I believe ThreatLocker's pricing model is fair and flexible, allowing account managers to offer customized deals based on our specific needs."
"We have not had any real issues with the pricing. As they have added more features, due to the way our contracts are structured with our customers, we have had to hold off on adopting the new features because they do add costs."
"So far, it has been great. I have no complaints. Of course, everybody wishes it was cheaper."
"The price of ThreatLocker Allowlisting is reasonable in the market, but it is not fantastic."
"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 pricing is fair and there is no hard sell."
