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.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With ThreatLocker, we don't have shadow IT, and it has reduced ransomware."

"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."

"I would rate it a ten out of ten."

"Every single feature has been invaluable."

"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."

"The biggest one that we focus on is the application control with ringfencing. That combination is very beneficial."

"ThreatLocker Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform's ability to block access to unauthorized applications has been excellent."

"Being able to protect and trust nothing by default, known as zero trust, is the most important feature to me."

More ThreatLocker Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform pros

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

Cons

"We also have customers who are frustrated because they cannot do what they used to do, which was run anything they wanted to."

"The support could be quicker. There are times when there is a delay in getting a response. This is problematic when immediate attention is needed."

"The user experience could be improved. Most complaints we get are based on users wanting certain functionality."

"One area I see for improvement is in the visibility of support tickets within the ThreatLocker ticketing system."

"This is my first Zero Trust conference, and so far, it has been good. The only thing I have noticed is that sometimes they encounter technical issues. For example, in one of the demo labs, the laptop trying to connect to the projector was not working, which affected the demonstration of the victim versus attacker laptop scenarios. It would be helpful to fix these issues."

"We use other vendors for other components. I'd like one vendor to control all aspects of the business, including backup, EDR solutions, email monitoring, and control, rather than using multiple vendors."

"I find that the learning mode is too accessible. Technicians sometimes default to it instead of manually building policy controls."

"Initially, the learning curve was slightly high for me, however, that has been resolved now."

More ThreatLocker Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform cons

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"So far, it has been great. I have no complaints. Of course, everybody wishes it was cheaper."

"ThreatLocker's pricing seems justifiable."

"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."

"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."

"I believe ThreatLocker's pricing model is fair and flexible, allowing account managers to offer customized deals based on our specific needs."

"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 encountered a few challenges regarding pricing, contract renewals, and additions. As we explored adding features like Cyber Hero, it proved to be an increased expense for our clients. This was primarily a mistake on our part due to how we initially priced it to clients."

More ThreatLocker Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform pricing and cost advice

"The price is comparable."

"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."

"The product has average pricing."

"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."
