"Self or guided managed security appliance that helps minimize logs"

4.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ThreatBlockr is an extensible and easy to manage shun solution"

4.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"An Exceptional Security Tool"

5/5

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering threatER:

Threatblockr's dynamic lists are fantastic and the support is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A true firewall's firewall."

5/5

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about threatER?

I only wish this technology were my own creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering threatER:

Try it, this product will speak for itself once you have it implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product at a great price!"

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering threatER:

It has some really nice fail over features built in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Operationalising Threat Intelligence at Scale"

5/5

Simple to use, vendor-agnostic, and effective at reducing exposure against known sources of cyber attacks.

Elastic search.

It scales much better than its competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering threatER:

Ensure you have a Syslog server or SIEM to send logs to from ThreatBlcokr so you can increase the visibility and help troubleshoot any traffic that is blocked as a result of policy or false positives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is threatER solving and how is that benefiting you?

Significant reduction in exposure against known sources of cyber attacks.

Results in less number of breaches while providing a greater level of visibility.

Business performance has increased due to less time required to investigate security events as they are now mostly blocked at the edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
