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.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, legitimate sites are added to block lists, which requires manual intervention to resolve the issue. 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.

When there’s a lot of traffic, it can be hard to tell exactly what’s being blocked, or why it’s being blocked. 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.
