Easy way to deploy Zero Trust.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates ThreatLocker from other similar products?

There really aren't similar products on the market yet. Many claim to have Zero Trust, but only have pieces in places. It's a great tool to keep zero trust lean in your organization.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Users can't install random software. Applications that could be malicious can't run.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Staff using it do need training. It's not an out of the box easy to use tool.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are looking for a lean security stack, ThreatLocker will definitely help with that. Expect your staff to need training, and for full deployment to take a few months. If you do it right, you will be able to relax and know that your clients are better secured than your competition.
