threatER Reviews & Product Details

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

The product is great. No dislikes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Threater is more of a hands-off security application once it is set up. It's very easy to administer, which I find particularly beneficial. The initial setup was very easy, making the transition smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of legitimate sites get added to the auto threat lists, which causes us to manually have to go in and whitelist the IP addresses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
