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.

Though support needs improvement, the tool is easy to maintain and scale up
Veritas Desktop and Laptop Option's server and GUI are of an old style that could be improved. In the solution, the number of errors we have are not so intuitive to fix, because of which an older person like me needs to be here, making it the last and worst thing of the solution. The support team of the product lacks skills and needs improvement. I would have mentioned that Veritas needs to make their solution available in the cloud, but I am sure they already have it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Blocking is done comprehensively."
"ThreatLocker's most valuable feature is its scanning capability, which executes all types of executable files."
"A few years back, we had an attack on one of our biggest clients."
"ThreatLocker Allowlisting has all of these features integrated into one console, making it effective."
"Ringfencing is a valuable feature."
"The solution has made knowing and managing what is running on our clients' devices much easier for us. We know they cannot run what they are not supposed to run."
"I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"While it can be frustrating at times, we appreciate the low-level security provided by the application whitelist."
"The solution provides an easy GUI allowing you to use it as a backup and restore your computer whenever you want, following administrator rules."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to have a tighter integration into PSA systems so that approvals can be done directly without having to leave the PSA."
"There are some times when applications get submitted, the hashes don't really line up."
"From a reporting perspective, enhancing the ability to customize reports would be beneficial."
"The reporting could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The Cyber Hero certification exam could use a bit of love, but overall, I have been very satisfied with the platform."
"A valuable addition to ThreatLocker would be a column in the audit page displaying a VirusTotal score for each file."
"The support team of the product lacks skills and needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not deal with pricing, but I assume it is cost-effective for us. We choose a solution based on functionality and affordability."
"The pricing is fair and there is no hard sell."
"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 find ThreatLocker's pricing to be reasonable for the services it provides."
"Others say ThreatLocker is too expensive, and I tell them they're dreaming. It's well-priced for what it does."
"I can't complain. Cheaper would always be nice, but I think it's reasonable compared to other software in the cybersecurity market."
"The pricing works fine for me. It's very reasonably priced."
"ThreatLocker's pricing seems justifiable."
