A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Ensures ransomware protection and reduces phishing chaos
The application control has been great so far, and while I am still exploring the network access controls, I unfortunately don't have access to one module I would love to have due to licensing restrictions. It's easy to use in regard to reducing attack surfaces. For me, it's a piece of cake. We can have something approved within 30 seconds, thanks to the mobile app. We haven't eliminated security solutions. We just add to it, and ThreatLocker has been a great addition. We also have Kaseya and ThreatLocker as a supplement to that. It's useful. They have overlap, and we look at the overlap as a good thing. It's helped your organization save on operational costs or expenses by ensuring that many fewer hours are spent dealing with ransomware nonsense. I cannot count the amount of hours that I personally have not had to put in to recovering an environment from a ransomware event. The last big one took us about three weeks to completely recover from. Since we've grouped ThreatLocker in, the management of that whole setup has gone down to just daily help desk tasks and general server maintenance instead of having the whole system on fire. There are probably thousands of hours of saved time between our teams. It's been great so far. ThreatLocker Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform's ability to block access to unauthorized applications is great. It's my biggest protection, the blocked applications. In a lot of cases, you go to install something yourself that you need for management, and it comes in and says, nope. And then I have to log into the portal and approve it. I get our other guys saying, hey, why are you trying to approve something? Any of the tools that I'm using on a day-to-day basis that haven't been in the environment during the whole learning mode initially, I could go through and set extensions and all that. So, while it's a headache on that end, the amount of saved time I can't even count. It is a little frustrating on my end since I like to go as quickly as I possibly can, and it slows me down. However, that's a really good thing. Depending on the site, it can save a lot of time and cut down headaches. It's likely saved a week's worth of time. It's cut down the amount of sever help desk tickets. Those have become minimal.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"The time saved from dealing with ransomware nonsense is invaluable."
"Overall, I would rate ThreatLocker Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform a ten out of ten."
"Blocking is done comprehensively."
"The customer service is excellent, ten out of ten."
"If all of our vendors would act and support us like ThreatLocker does, we would be happy."
"ThreatLocker has significantly improved numerous techniques that mitigate vulnerabilities and viruses initiated on the back end of a network."
"The customer service is amazing."
"Unified Audit is excellent for identifying our denies and using those to dynamically create rules, as opposed to manually observing the logs and creating them. It saves so much time."
 

Cons

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"There could be options for handling a bulk amount of machines simultaneously."
"I have no complaints, but a little bit more Mac support would be great."
"It is not easy to use. I am still learning."
"ThreatLocker University offers many good training modules, but more in-depth training for advanced platforms would be beneficial."
"It is a little frustrating on my end since I like to go as quickly as I possibly can, and it slows me down."
"I cannot suggest anything that they are not already doing. They should keep adding features as they have been."
"ThreatLocker Allowlisting needs to improve its user interface and overall workflow."
"The user experience could be improved. Most complaints we get are based on users wanting certain functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"The pricing is high."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"I can't complain. Cheaper would always be nice, but I think it's reasonable compared to other software in the cybersecurity market."
"I find ThreatLocker's pricing to be reasonable for the services it provides."
"I do not deal with pricing, but I assume it is cost-effective for us. We choose a solution based on functionality and affordability."
"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."
"ThreatLocker's pricing seems justifiable."
"I believe ThreatLocker's pricing model is fair and flexible, allowing account managers to offer customized deals based on our specific needs."
"Considering what this product does, ThreatLocker is very well-priced, if not too nicely priced for the customer."
"The pricing is fair and there is no hard sell."
