"Great Product and Great Staff"
What do you like best about BlackFog?

BlackFog has been great at stopping/Identifying digital threats on our systems. It was very quick and easy to deploy and it provides many customizable options for various browsers and operating systems like Windows or Mac with global options as well as per device on a friendly UI. I love that the solution will cut network access on the device if it detects any program or applet running out of the norm and stopping it before it can send the info out or spread on the network. The customer support has also been stellar and very quick to respond to the few issues or questions I've had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Protection and Peace of Mind"
What do you like best about BlackFog?

I've been using BlackFog for several months now, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. It consistently keeps my computer safe from malicious attacks, phishing attempts, and suspicious files. The real-time protection is top-notch, and I appreciate how quietly it runs in the background without slowing down my system.

What really sets it apart is the ease of use. The dashboard is intuitive, updates are seamless, and the security alerts are clear without being overwhelming. I also like the regular reports—it gives me confidence knowing that threats are being detected and neutralized before they become a problem.

In a time when cyber threats are growing more sophisticated, having this software on my system gives me true peace of mind. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to secure their computers without the hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlackFog?

There’s very little to dislike. As with any software, there is a brief learning curve to understand its features and recognize certain security triggers. Occasionally, it may block the installation of legitimate programs; however, this is easily resolved by selecting the "Pause for Install" option, which allows the installation to proceed smoothly. Overall, the interface is simple, intuitive, and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Protection Against PowerShell Attacks"
What do you like best about BlackFog?

The software blocks powershell attacks that can otherwise be run by anyone with access to the machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlackFog?

The only thing I can think is a downside is the UI for the system, there is currently a translucent windowing in place, that looks kind of odd, but aside from that, the system is very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BlackFog is a safety net for businesses"
What do you like best about BlackFog?

We all work hard to do the right thing in business and that there are those out there with ill intent is unthinkable, yet it happens every day. We have BlackFog deployed on all our workstations and server and also those of our valued Clients. BlackFog has an easily-justifiable price and it truly is a safety net when you consider that ill-doers can work their way through antivirus and sometimes wiggle their way around firewalls. We highly recommend BlackFog for every business. Truly there's nothing else like it on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlackFog?

Can't think of a thing, it's a good solution at a reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Silent Protection, But Needs Uninstall Password Option"
What do you like best about BlackFog?

The protection operates quietly in the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlackFog?

I would appreciate it if there were an option to require a password before uninstalling the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brenda Robb of BlackFog

Thank you for kind review of BlackFog. Regarding your comment on passwords, we do not provide this option due to Microsoft best practices. The recommended approach according to Microsoft is to ensure you are not giving system administrator access to your users to prevent uninstallation.
