What differentiates ThreatLocker from other similar products?

As an MSP, Threatlocker allows us to customize the application whitelisting for different industries and use cases with ease. With other products we aren't able to easily implement the security controls that we need to keep our clients safe in the same way that Threatlocker allows us to do.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Threatlocker is a joy to work with. The customer service team is fantastic. We have regular reviews of our clients deployments with Colin and he is great. Threatlocker's company philosophy lines up with ours.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes the administration portal can be a bit finicky. However, they are updating the portal which should help things in the future. Requests from clients can be a bit tedious sometimes to allow. If you don't respond to a Threatlocker request quickly it can make a client unhappy if they are waiting for you to open an application or install an update.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You need to make sure that you have a dedicated person who can respond to requests otherwise they may stay open for too long. Make your client aware that you are implementing these security controls, because if they are going from having local admin to being locked down in Threatlocker it can be a pain point. Make sure you have a machine in learning mode for an adequate amount of time, otherwise there could be applications that haven't been added to policy if they haven't been opened.
