Easy Setup, Effective Threat Blocking, and Insightful Reporting **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael T. | Security Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 04, 2026 **What do you like best about threatER?** It does what it says. It's a great first line of defense for blocking known threats using IP lists that you are subscribed to or created by you. Sometimes sites get added to lists by mistake blocking your legitimate traffic, but setting up your own list to whitelist is incredibly easy and changes take effect almost immediately. The reports were a great way for us to figure out where most of the malicious traffic targeting us comes from. The interface is easy to use and navigate. Probably one of the easiest initial setups we've had. **What do you dislike about threatER?** When legitimate traffic is blocked the user only sees a page failed to load. We then use the logs to search from blocks coming from their IP to sometimes get the correct IP for whitelisting. This is usually only a problem because lists will sometimes add legitimate sites to their lists for what ever reason, so the root cause isn't threater's fault, but it would be nice if it gave the user more information when it was the source of blocking traffic as it isn't always the cause. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is constantly blocking a lot of malicious traffic before it even hits our firewall. ### 2. Highly Effective at Blocking Malicious Traffic Before It Reaches Your Network **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Greg V. | Security Principal Lead, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 04, 2026 **What do you like best about threatER?** I’ve been very happy with threatER. It has been extremely effective at stopping malicious traffic from various countries before it ever reaches our environment. Since implementing it, over 99% of incoming traffic has been blocked, which in our case is a positive indicator because it was all unwanted or malicious traffic. It has significantly reduced noise and potential attack surface. **What do you dislike about threatER?** I don’t have many complaints about threatER itself. The only issue I’ve encountered relates more to the threat intelligence feeds included with the subscription. Occasionally, a feed will update and begin blocking traffic unexpectedly. While this isn’t really a problem with threatER as a platform, it can still create operational issues that require investigation and adjustment. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** ThreatER helps reduce the amount of malicious and unwanted traffic reaching our environment. By automatically blocking connections from known malicious sources and high-risk regions, it significantly reduces noise in our logs and lowers the number of potential threats we need to investigate. This allows our security team to focus on legitimate activity and higher-value security work instead of constantly filtering through large amounts of attack traffic. ### 3. Flexible, High-Performance ThreatER with Seamless API Integrations and Top-Notch Support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2026 **What do you like best about threatER?** ThreatER has a lot of different features that are worthy of comment and narrowing it down to a single one is a bit of a challenge. However, I think the feature I like the most is that I can "set it and forget it", but at the same time, I can go back in and make adjustments on the fly. This makes the product very flexible and intuitive. Also, the API integrations were very useful. I wrote some custom software that integrated my SEIM product emails into an actionable ThreatER block, thereby automating a very tedious process. The product performs at a high capacity, so I can't say that I was ever able to detect any network lag or latency that was directly attributable to the ThreatER appliances. Pricing... well, that's a bit different. It's not for the faint of heart, but it's still worth the investment compared to the cost of mitigating a preventable breach. ThreatER Support was flawlessly executed--I always received top-notch support whenever I needed it. Regarding AI, I was not really aware of anything of that nature so if it was running behind the scenes, it was truly transparent and did not clearly interact with me in a noticeable manner. **What do you dislike about threatER?** Cost is a downside... especially when we were transitioning to a different product and missed the notification window. There was absolutely no mercy shown to us and even though we are now NOT using the appliances, we are still required to pay for the service for another year--no grace. No mercy. No options. That experience has absolutely poisoned my perception of the company--not the product, but the company itself. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** ThreatER absolutely saved us from an active brute force attack against our VPN portal, as well as ongoing probes, scans, and even additional attacks against our FTP server. I truly can't fault the product for it's effectiveness. ### 4. Efficient Network Protection with Minimal Maintenance **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** I like Threater for its ease of use and straightforward administration. The setup was very easy and straightforward too. I appreciate that it automatically adds suspected malicious sites and IP addresses to block lists, which significantly reduces the overhead work for us. Once everything is configured, it's basically a hands-off approach, requiring little administration, allowing us to focus our time and attention elsewhere. **What do you dislike about threatER?** Occasionally, legitimate sites are added to block lists, which requires manual intervention to resolve the issue. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Threater to prevent malicious traffic and reduce overhead work. It simplifies administration with a hands-off approach after setup, freeing up my time. **Official Response from Courtney Brady:** > Thank you for the review and we appreciate the feedback. We are aware of unintended blocks occurring and know it almost always happens in the cloud where a specific website shares an IP with thousands of others. We do our best to mitigate and quickly respond with additional threat intel so that it doesn't happen with that site again. Here is some additional information if that happens again: https://support.threatblockr.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407480803092. Thank you again for being a trusted ThreatBlockr customer! ### 5. Easy-to-Use Interface with Fast Whitelisting and Clear Block Visibility **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 03, 2026 **What do you like best about threatER?** Easy to use interface and love the ability to easily see if a url/domain or IP address is blocked. If it is block, it is easy to create a whitelist rule and the changes take effect quickly within seconds to minutes at most. Customer support has always been great, and our account rep Julia has been very helpful by doing her quarterly check-ins. **What do you dislike about threatER?** The only issue or dislike that comes to mind is when we have seen blocks to legitimate webistes due to having a bad blocklist. This issue only occurred a couple of times, but it did cause a lot of issues for us and our users not being able to access their websites. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** They recently added the ability to block ASN blocks instead of blocking a whole country. **Official Response from Courtney Brady:** > We really appreciate the feedback and we are always looking to make improvements to our whitelist capabilities. Your input helps us improve, and we’re grateful you shared it. ### 6. Effortless Integration with Unmatched Threat Blocking **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Loris M. **Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2026 **What do you like best about threatER?** I like Threater because it's easy to use and the integration is seamless, provided that the client allows us to place the hardware Enforcer in line with their Internet links. I appreciate that it logs every traffic flow, allowing us to produce analytics which inform active threat or tactical threat blocking. The initial setup process is quite easy too; we just deploy the policies and the client plugs it in, with everything managed through the central cloud-based management platform. **What do you dislike about threatER?** It's deployment is limited to on-Prem, AWS, Azure, and Google's Cloud platform. We are unable to deploy it on other cloud platforms. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Threater to collect threat intel, integrate intelligence feeds easily, and block threats at a scale unmatched by an Exchange firewall. It detects exposed assets, services, and monitors outbound traffic to manage risks effectively. ### 7. Easy Site Blacklisting and Whitelisting with threatER **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael O. | ICT manager for infrastructure, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2026 **What do you like best about threatER?** Easy to blacklist new sites or whitelist when requested. **What do you dislike about threatER?** I have no dislikes about threatER. It works as it should and filters out the garbage. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** threatER is filtering out the garbage and blacklisted sites with little or no interaction from me. ### 8. Easy Setup and Immediate Bad-Traffic Blocking **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2026 **What do you like best about threatER?** It was easy to set up, and it started blocking bad traffic right away. **What do you dislike about threatER?** When there’s a lot of traffic, it can be hard to tell exactly what’s being blocked, or why it’s being blocked. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** Across both our corporate network and our guest network, we block all traffic to and from malicious sources, and we also have geo-blocking enabled. This has reduced our bandwidth usage and helps keep us safe. ### 9. Exceptional Security with Ease of Use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Richard Q. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2026 **What do you like best about threatER?** I like the support provided today and the ongoing technical support, as it makes things run smoothly. The ease of use and navigation of the Threater web portal is also something I really appreciate. These aspects help streamline the process and make it easier to understand. It's overall easy to use and understand. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, which was a big plus for me. **What do you dislike about threatER?** The product is great. No dislikes **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Threater to block threats from coming inbound and outbound, solving the problem of keeping bad actors out of our network system. ### 10. Easy-to-Use UI, Reliable Updates, and Outstanding Account Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Museums and Institutions | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2026 **What do you like best about threatER?** The product offers a range of subscription lists, and the UI is easy to use. Updates when patches are released are quick and reliable. Our Account representative is very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to our needs, and works closely with us to continually improve our security posture. **What do you dislike about threatER?** Wish the log retention were more robust. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** An added layer of internet traffic security, with a web-based portal to review, whitelist, and cusstomize polices. ### 11. Easy-to-Use Interface, Though Some Features Feel Redundant on Firewalls **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ruben C. | Infrastructure Admin, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2026 **What do you like best about threatER?** Interface is easy to navigate between sites **What do you dislike about threatER?** redundant features available on firewalls **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use content filtering throughout all of our locations. ### 12. Easy On-Site Setup and Installation That Just Works **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gregory Z. | Computer System Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2026 **What do you like best about threatER?** They were easy to have set up and installed on site. Works like they should. **What do you dislike about threatER?** pulling reports and unexpected block reports are a little slow, but manageable. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** It blocks a lot of the unwanted traffic in and out, freeing up bandwidth for real work to get done. ### 13. Threatblockr Is A Game-Changer In The Cybersecurity Field! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** We've been using Threatblockr for over five years, which has met all our cybersecurity needs. We are incredibly pleased with its performance. The software is easy to use and navigate. It has proven to be very effective in protecting our devices and personal information from potential threats by blocking all non-domestic traffic and all the threat lists we subscribe to. One of the features I appreciate the most is the real-time blocking and the ability to view the logs in real-time. The customer support team has also been very helpful in answering any questions we have had. I highly recommend Threatblockr to anyone looking for reliable and user-friendly cybersecurity solutions to simply block malicious traffic. **What do you dislike about threatER?** A few things that I would recommend is to be able to drill down in more detail on the specific traffic that is being allowed and blocked. It would be nice to have a more interactive dashboard to try and see what IPs are doing with particular features (i.e., Blocked by Reason, Blocked by Category, Blocked by Country, and Blocked by ASN). It would be beneficial to look into this data to identify the traffic without looking at the exported logs. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problems that ThreatBlockr is solving is by blocking all non-domestic traffic that we, as our domestic bank, does not do business with, and with any threat lists that is out there that are indeed malicious to avoid traffic to our network devices (i.e., firewalls, web filtering) ### 14. ThreatBlockr is the best bump-in-the-wire IP/URL reputation security appliance I've ever used! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dane Z. | Information Security Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** The ability to ingest, aggregate, and take action based on different threat reputation and open-source feeds using STIX/TAXII and web .txt URLs. This is something only a combination of SIEM/SOAR/UTM/TIP solutions could do. Often this combination focuses on enrichment and IOC hunting, but it was difficult to ever take this information and compile it into a meaningful reputation block list that an NGFW could then ingest and take action with. **What do you dislike about threatER?** Centralized logging of the different appliances' web activities such as their blocking behavior requires a SIEM or centralized Syslog server. It doesn't allow for centralized searching of these logs via the SaaS portal. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** Solved holes in NGFW reputation-based blocks and is easier to administrate and troubleshoot activity than most NGFWs. Allowed us to pull in different paid and open-source STIX/TAXII and URL-based reputation sources and create our own block lists which is much more complex and difficult to achieve when combining SIEM/SOAR/UTM/TIP/NGFW technology stacks. Geo-Blocking is probably the best on the market and we prefer it heavily over similar NGFW functionality. If you have worked with some of the leading Cloud WAF Geo-Blocking rulesets and policies; ThreatBlockr is their on-prem equivalent in ease of implementation, effectiveness, and administration. ### 15. ThreatBlockr IP based block list management is quick, easy and reliable protection **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** Ease of management and powerful block lists are available, customer support is one of the best I've ever dealt with. **What do you dislike about threatER?** Does not support Entra SSO yet, no DNS whitelist feature. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use ThreatBlockr primarily for zero-day IP blocking and geo-blocking. Utilizing the subscriptions lists we have near instant protection without requiring a lot of overhead from our team. ### 16. One of the best appliances you never knew you needed! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dalton R. | IT Lead Infrastructure & Security Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** We've had a ThreatBlockr device ever since I arrived at my organization almost 7 years ago. It was brought in by my now senior manager and I would never deploy another site without one. This appliance allows such an easy way to do geoblocking, it is incredible, point, click, save. Need to see if the country is blocked? No problem just type it in. Allows me with pinpoint accuracy to adjust what I want in and out of my network before it even gets to my firewall with simple sliders. I get full control over how much risk I want to take with which ASNs. Need to allow some ASN traffic but want to make sure a slight deviation in the threat score blocks it? No problem, you adjust the slider from 0 to 100 or -100. Solid insights on threat levels of malicious IPs/Websites. Whitelist/Blacklisting lists are super simple to use. Plus ThreatBlockr has a ton of out-of-the-box content lists you can link to. I've also dabbled in having a dynamic list linked to a Google doc that I can update an IP or Website I want blocked into the Google doc and it transverses to the policy seamlessly. With the GMC portal I can get single pane of glass review of both my devices across both our ISPs in front of our HA'd firewalls. Support is top-notch as well, which is great, but I've rarely had to use it. Updating is a breeze! **What do you dislike about threatER?** My biggest gripe is when the Threatblockr is restricting a site, there is no splash page like OpenDNS/Umbrella. Also if Im Geoblocking a certain country and the website is coming from there and I run a search inside the GMC, it won't tell me if it is in a blocked country or not, kind of slows me down. Otherwise the interface is rock solid. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** Geoblocking is such a great 1st line defense. Then the ASN sliders so I can adjust things as I see fit, not how the vendor does or would that I see with other products. Its the perfect appliance for the practicing of defense in depth and Zero Trust. ### 17. Extremely Simple & Effective Network Protection **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul D. | Director of IT, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** The appliances are effortless to deploy, configure, and maintain. We can quickly look up log data on each device individually when we suspect something may be getting blocked. Their reports clearly illustrate the importance of the service to leadership. Using ThreatBlockr appliances between our UTMs and our WAN connections have allowed us to offload much of the load that our UTMs would have needed to process if they were connected directly to the Internet. **What do you dislike about threatER?** Sometimes, the threat lists block shared webserver IPs, resulting in false positive blocking of legitimate websites. Because of where we position the appliances in our topology, I can't easily see what specific hosts on our internal network are trying to access so we often have to compare ThreatBlockr logs to UTM logs to get the full picture. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** Adding a very effective 1st layer of defense to our network helps ensure that malicious traffic (both inbound and potentially outbound) is blocked efficiently based on crowdsourced lists. **Official Response from Courtney Brady:** > Thank you for your honest review! We very much agree that depending on where ThreatBlockr is deployed, especially when deployed outside your next generation firewall or UTM element (i.e., closest to the Internet), we can only see the NAT'd IP on the protected side. You're absolutely right that the only recourse to determine which protected side resource is involved is to cross check against your other security elements (i.e., the initial NAT'ing point). We find the best way for customers to handle that when they can do so is to leverage our built-in Syslog Export capability, sending our detailed logs to a SIEM or SIEM-like system of our customers' choosing, where they'd also have their UTM or equivalent logs present, and then do the correlation there. You're also correct in stating that false positives can (and do!) occur. It's a challenge when you can block millions of IPs in real time like our platform allows - we know of no other platform in the world that can ingest so much third party data and never adversely impact performance. Since so many of our data intelligence partners leverage advanced detection schemes including leveraging AI systems, false positives are bound to happen. We're always looking at ways to improve false positive mitigation (we like to call them unexpected blocks), and one great way to do it is to leverage our Allowed Lists, which are easy to update in manual fashion and/or via API if you have the wherewithal to do so. Unlike many other platforms, there's NO limit to the amount of allowed list data that you can ingest, create, and use. On that note, our Customer Success team is always ready and willing to assist you in any way with this - please never hesitate to reach out to them! And again, thank you for your honest review! ### 18. Works well, intuitive interface and support is great **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Fabrizio C. | Network Systems Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** The easy configuration and setup. Support is responsive and knowledgeable. Does not slow down internet connection and protects both inbound and outbound traffic separately. **What do you dislike about threatER?** The logging tab is helpful but requires a page refresh when editing the query or wanting to update the list. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** We no longer have to wonder who is trying to access or even succeeding at accessing our network. An extra layer of security that alleviates and supports our firewall. ### 19. Great product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andy W. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** ThreatBlockr is a great product capable of numerous use cases and handling millions of packets. **What do you dislike about threatER?** I can't think of anything negative it does its job well. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** Blocking unwanted traffic on the perimeter from countries and ASN's ### 20. ThreatBlockr has greatly reduced our public attack surface **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bill H. | Sr Infrastructure Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** Ease of use, provided dynamic threat lists are constantly updated, simple geo blocking. We 've done extensive geo blocking and malicious traffic at our edge probably dropped by 90% **What do you dislike about threatER?** Sometimes the threat lists can be overzealous blocking legitimate IPs. Would like to see improved handling of domain allow/block lists. It's a multi-step process to do a DNS lookup on a domain then add the IPs to a block/allow list. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** ThreatBlockr has greatly reduced the malicious traffic to our network edge. It filters out a lot of noise and makes monitoring for threats easier. ### 21. Threatblockr is a great solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** the number of sources integrated in the solution **What do you dislike about threatER?** The resolution of support ticket. They don't provide all the details from the beginning **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** the number of sources included in the solution. Improve our detection. ### 22. Self or guided managed security appliance that helps minimize logs **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael M. | CIO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2022 **What do you like best about threatER?** While your SIEM may alert you of threats, Threatblockr allows you to retrieve threat intel from TAXII/STIX feeds and blocks it. Most firewalls do not work with threat feeds unless they are URL-based. Threatblockr is one of the few devices that will pull in feeds so that you can block near real-time threats. They also include a premium threat feed from Webroot at no additional cost. **What do you dislike about threatER?** There are two managment interfaces, a local one and a cloud-based site. Initially, it gets a little confusing on which site handles configuration and interface changes. Reporting needs work. There isn't a way to run on-demand reports. You have to schedule reports in advance (monthly will run on the 1st of every month, weekly runs at midnight on Sunday, etc.) . Sometimes, you just want to run a report for a specified date range, which isn't currently possible. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** Threatblockr can do what most firewalls can't, making your logs less noisy. In a nutshell, it saves time. In addition, it blocks traffic from your threat intel feeds, which is the best feature. ### 23. ThreatBlockr is an extensible and easy to manage shun solution **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jasey D. | Security Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2022 **What do you like best about threatER?** ThreatBlockr supports integration with open source IP and domain block lists, but also supports premium feeds. This allows us to leverage integrations with other soltuions we are already using for other purposes. **What do you dislike about threatER?** The blocking is IP based. For today's Internet, where a single IP my host 500 websites, or where CDNs means that IPs can change in an instant, this is a big weakness. But, due to how the technology works and how it fits into the network, it may be something that can never be "fixed". **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** A shun device sits at the edge of the network, outside the firewall. It should be efficient and fast. It should introduce minimal latency and barely be a "bump in the wire". ThreatBlockr blocks thousands fo threats a day with few false positives. It keeps traffic from ever reaching our firewall which increases its efficency. It is a vital part of our layered defenses. ### 24. Outstanding gatekeeper for our castle **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gary K. | Chief Information Officer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** ThreatBlockr sits in front of our primary control points to scrape off off the known junk, thereby reducing the load on our remaining control points. **What do you dislike about threatER?** We have not found any downsides to using ThreatBlockr **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** ThreatBlockr helps filter out the known junk traffic, thereby making our other control points much more efficient. ### 25. An Exceptional Security Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robert B. | Lead Support Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2022 **What do you like best about threatER?** The Help in setup and ongoing support for the product has been amazing. They are genuinely interested in every false positive or niggle we have had and explain the reasoning behind everything on the playtform **What do you dislike about threatER?** If I had to call one thing I don't like about the product it's the lack of storage for logging, we get around this by exporting the external logs and troubleshooting that way. **Recommendations to others considering threatER:** Threatblockr's dynamic lists are fantastic and the support is second to none. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** We utilise two Threatblockr appliances, one on each of our lines to firstly block incoming connections based on geographic location as well as using the IP whitelists provided. We then use a second box that deals with our outbound internet traffic using whitelisting as well as third party lists from BitDefender and Proofpoint. This provides an additional level of security beyond our firewall. ### 26. A true firewall's firewall. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John W. | V, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2022 **What do you like best about threatER?** This product drops malicious traffic with great accuracy and allows the firewalls to spend more of their resources doing what they do best. It also does an excellent job allowing the devices at each endpoint to communicate with each other to protect all endpoints when the first sees something malicious. It also accepts live feeds from multiple sources of your choice to allow the system to make the best decisions on traffic flow. The support staff is superb! **What do you dislike about threatER?** I only wish this technology were my own creation. **Recommendations to others considering threatER:** Try it, this product will speak for itself once you have it implemented. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** This gives us the added layer of protection that we do not get otherwise. It allows us to use threat intelligence from excellent sources and they have been willing to work with us to inject our own threat feed from other sources. ### 27. The protection works well and the support team is great. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2023 **What do you like best about threatER?** I appreciate the additional email alerts to make sure our Bandura device is fully patched, and the other emails showing the protection stats. **What do you dislike about threatER?** I don't have a specific item to dislike. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** It provides the additional layer of protection we desired in our infrastructure, along with consistently updating its known threats.

Great product at a great price! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew K. | Information Security Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2022 **What do you like best about threatER?** 1.The interface is very user friendly. 2. Easy to whitelist / blacklist IPs and domains. 3. Great responsive support. 4. Great logging. 5. Provides various ways to block or allow an IP or domain. This seems to have been made by somebody who had to work with firewalls since it just makes sense. **What do you dislike about threatER?** A block on a domain blacklist can only be overridden by a whitelist on the domain whitelist. For example, if you blacklist google.com and whitelist 8.8.8.8, the domain will be allowed. You have to whitelist domain blocks at the domain level and same for the IPs. Not horrible, but something to keep in mind. **Recommendations to others considering threatER:** It has some really nice fail over features built in. **What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're solving our issue of perimeter security. This provides great options when it comes to country blocking as well as analytics and reporting. They really go above and beyond. ### 29.

Great addition to our security solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2022 **What do you like best about threatER?** Threatblockr has become an integral part of our security. The features it provides make investigations much simpler and faster, as well as provide greater control through our custom lists and geo-restrictions. It's straightforward to use and the team at Bandura have been able to assist us from the very beginning with any queries. **What do you dislike about threatER?** The only real downside was configuring threat thresholds via a slider for each individual item becomes tedious when trying to adjust multiple things at a time.
