"Powerful, Scalable Application & Network Control with Great Support and Performance"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

The ease of use to and ability perform application and network control functions, at scale, is far better than several others that I have used.

A few capabilities that particularly stand out are the ability easily control network access on a process-by-process basis e.g. only allow PowerShell access to M365 domains, as well as the being able to of report on allowed process and network activity, not just what was blocked. The ability to use the ThreatLocker console for both endpoint and perimeter network (syslog) firewalls is a real time saver. We are substantially more secure with ThreatLocker's prevention capabilities over any Endpoint Detection and Reaction (EDR) tool. We have a completely separate endpoint AV layer.

Endpoint and console performance are quite good considering the amount of data being handled. Support has been great with regular check-ins with account reps (sales & technical), and practically immediate chat response. Pricing is quite reasonable for the modules we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

It can sometimes be hard to keep up with the incremental releases. We don't deploy immediately but will stage releases and sometimes are still staging when new builds are released. Despite, these admin issue, we've never had any issues with the endpoints themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Default-Deny Security That Makes New Devices Easy to Manage"

5/5

What do you like best about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

I like the Default-Deny approach to the platform. Knowing that if something new joins the environment, it is denied automatically, allowing for better management, and mitigation of problematic situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

For the environments I am using the platform, the product is great, and the only downside I'm experiencing is some of my users are not as adaptive to the controls it offers. This isn't an issue for the product, just unwilling end users who don't like change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to trust that if an application becomes compromised, and a payload is dropped into it, it isn't going to be able to deploy or instigate an issue, as the ThreatLocker Zero Trust knows what is meant to be there from its initial learning, and will deny something that shouldn't be there.

"Unmatched Feature Set and Ai That Streamlines Daily Verifications"

5/5

What do you like best about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

As an MSP, we use ThreatLocker's features extensively. The feature set is unmatched from what I've encountered. The integrated Ai helps tremendously to minimize the day-to-day verification requirements. The new GUI helps with the flow of finding settings simply. Pages load quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

My dislikes could stem from the fact that ThreatLocker has so many integrated features that configuring becomes a very detailed and somewhat complicated process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ZT Platform is redefining security within an organization. As more and more end users demand administrative rights on their machines, zero trust allows us to provide that while still maintaining the strict policies of limiting installed applications to those vetted by our cybersecurity team.

"Smooth, Easy-to-Use Platform with Game-Changing Cyber Heroes Support"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

It’s honestly a great platform overall for its purpose. Once you understand what it’s trying to do, it’s easy to use, and the support the Cyber Heroes provide is a real game-changer. It runs smoothly, and so far we haven’t had any PCs run into issues with the agent or performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

I think the biggest struggle has been understanding the policies and how everything works together. That feels less like a problem with the platform itself and more like a learning curve tied to everything the platform can do. Once you start to understand the logic behind what it’s doing, the structure makes more and more sense; it’s really just a matter of getting used to it and understanding the purpose behind it. From time to time we do run into difficult configurations where it would be easy to solve if we could do xyz with the policy, but normally we talk with the cyber heroes and can find a way to make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We’re an MSP, and one of the biggest challenges our clients face is controlling employee work habits and tasks, especially in environments with PHI and HIPAA. ThreatLocker is a big part of that solution for us. Managing storage policies and applications through ThreatLocker is extremely helpful, and it’s much easier than trying to set up registry changes or other blockers. This is especially true when we need to temporarily allow something—it's just a click in the portal. There’s no need to bypass a GPO, wait 15 minutes for everything to update, and then move it back into a security group, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly UI, Fast Portal, and Excellent Support"

5/5

What do you like best about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

I find the UI of the platform to be user friendly and easy to navigate. It's clear what module I'm in, how to get support, and how to deploy new policies. It integrates well with our RMM and ticketing system, allowing us to efficiently approve requests and update applications. The portal is responsive and quick to navigate. Support is excellent, and the CyberHeros never fail to offer an answer to my questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

Threatlocker does seem to slow down some older hardware, especially devices with low system resources. It's understandable, but we do need to keep an eye on it for clients that use older hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

ThreatLocker helps us maintain control of the apps installed on our clients computers. We can catch malicious or unwanted software before it's even installed, saving cleanup and investigation time in the future. This is a greag value add for us and helps justify the investment in Threatlocker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Good Security Tool That Demands Active Management"

2.5/5

What do you like best about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

The strongest part of ThreatLocker is its application allowlisting. Once it's configured correctly, it does an excellent job of preventing unauthorized software from running. I also appreciate the visibility the platform provides across endpoints. That said, getting to that point takes significant effort, and some features—particularly the learning mode—didn't work as well as I expected. It's a powerful product, but it requires a substantial investment of time to manage effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

The biggest challenge has been the amount of time required to manage the platform. The learning mode didn't work as well as expected, so creating and maintaining policies required significantly more manual effort than anticipated. False positives and application approvals can also create additional administrative overhead, especially in environments where software changes frequently. ThreatLocker is a powerful security tool, but organizations should be prepared to invest time in tuning policies and ongoing management to get the most value from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

ThreatLocker helps us reduce the risk of ransomware, unauthorized software, and other malicious activity by preventing applications from running unless they have been explicitly approved. This gives us much greater control over our endpoint environment than traditional antivirus alone. For our organization and our clients, that means improved security, better visibility into what is running on devices, and increased confidence that unexpected software won't execute without our knowledge. While the platform requires ongoing policy management, the added protection has been a worthwhile layer in our overall security strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, Zero-Trust Security That Reduces Risk and Keeps Systems Running"

5/5

What do you like best about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

Reducing Security risk. Software vulnerabilities are also reduced as we have no admins, Supply chain issues mostly mitigated for the application and software side. User's systems just seem to just work now and the old adage of reloading windows never happens. Plus the ability to elevate the program for certain applications gives the user some power to perform duties. So seeing better system performance and happy clients. Deploying ThreatLocker is one of the easier tasks, it integrates very well. The platform is easy to use and intuitive, aunified audit helps not just for using ThreatLocker but also general system and logging needs. Pricing is inline and not as high as other platforms so an easy sell. Cyber Heros has a very fast response time for support and many times they will help or just take care of the rule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

I always say I have a love hate relationship. The only downside is how Zero Trust Works. So when applications change that do not have a built in rule or they change how they work with a computer. You do have to do some lifting or relearning of the application. not the end of the world it is a step. We find explaining to the user and client what and why usually helps here. You can use the cyber hero auto approval, This service help with this lift if you have a small team or struggle with understanding the platform or are busy with other tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not having an incident. Clients/users trust the IT to keep them safe. To date wee have not experienced any ransomware or other event as they have all been stopped. Users have clicked on files and links that attempted to execute commands or processes. ThreatLocker Stopped it every time.

The ability to then also elevate the application like UPS to run with more permissions so the user can update rates and programs without the user having the permissions to do so it a valuable item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Zero Trust Protection with Strong Application Control"

5/5

What do you like best about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

What I like most about ThreatLocker is the level of control and visibility it provides. Application Allowlisting prevents unauthorized or unknown software from running, while Ringfencing limits what approved applications can access or communicate with. It helps us move beyond traditional antivirus by enforcing a true least-privilege, Zero Trust approach without creating unnecessary disruption for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

The biggest downside is the administrative overhead, especially during the initial learning and policy-tuning phase. Legitimate applications, updates, scripts, and installers can be blocked until they are reviewed and approved, which can create extra work for a small IT team. The platform is very powerful, but the interface and policy structure can feel complex, and troubleshooting why something was blocked is not always immediately obvious. Once properly tuned, it works well, but it requires ongoing attention to avoid unnecessary user disruption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

ThreatLocker is helping us prevent unauthorized software, malicious executables, scripts, and potentially unwanted applications from running in our environment. It also limits what approved applications can access through Ringfencing and helps control temporary administrative privileges. The biggest benefit is reducing our attack surface and stopping threats that traditional antivirus may miss, while giving IT better visibility and control over what is allowed to run on each endpoint.

"ThreatLocker Provides a Robust, Safe “Allow-Only” Security Layer"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

ThreatLocker provides a very robust security layer that is a key part of our security stack. The idea of blocking everything and then allowing only what is really needed for your users to function makes your IT infrastructure much safer that trying to find and block every possible malicious action and realted processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

Sometimes when you are dealing with application updates, ThreatLocker will block the update files. Due to the way many apps are updated, this can lead to some rather involved policies to allow the updates freely but still block similar malicious actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

ThreatLocker has allowed us to have better control over many of the built in tools in Windows and other apps that are included with the install but are of little use to the average user. An example is that we can lockdown Microsoft powershell to only specific user groups, or using Ringfencing, allow it to run but prevent powershell from being able to access the Internet or shared network resources. This allows for centrally controlled tool sets that are often used by bad actors in their hacking attempts, but still allows legitimate, secure use of those tools.

"Zero Trust Security with Full Control and Easy Usability"

5/5

What do you like best about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

I find ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform very easy to use, especially when it comes to their unified audit for checking different transactions like executions that have happened on devices. The ability to see what's been blocked and denied in an easy to view window helps us understand what's going on in our environment at a very granular level. It also provides us with much more immediate control in emergencies, allowing us to feel safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform?

Maybe the custom reporting could have more options than it currently has. We haven't fully used a lot of additional features. The patch management feature seems useful, but I'm not sure if ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform is the best way to do patch management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform for full control over applications on our managed endpoints and to prevent unauthorized executables. It ensures specific policy management and swift action during emergencies while offering an easy-to-use audit for monitoring transactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
