What differentiates ThreatLocker from other similar products?

There are other application whitelisting vendors, but what truly separates Threatlocker is the support they provide - it's truly top notch.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Besides all the additional security the platform provides, the unified audit is fantastic. I'm constantly using it to discover which user is responsible for accidentally moving or deleting files and/or folders from a server share.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Periodically you'll have a case where an operating system file may get blocked, but support always acts quickly to resolve the issue on the back end. Additionally, it will require some babysitting for sure, especially if your environment consists of applications that aren't part of their "Built-in" library. That means you will periodically have to manually catalog files associated with the application as it changes over time..

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Trial it! See if it makes sense in your environment. I'm so glad I have it on all my customers machines. Helps me sleep better at night.

What differentiates ThreatLocker from other similar products?

The breadth of features - from storage controls, to network access controls, to organizational policies. ThreatLocker is far more than just an application whitelisting program.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We get peace of mind knowing that only explicitly approved applications are able to run. We just don't see malware on our systems now.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It can be noisy. Depending on the software, the diversity of DLLs and publishers, it can create headaches. But the noise it causes is easily outweighed by the fact that we and our clients don't experience the head ache of malware.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Take the time to be trained as thoroughly as possible. There are nuances to administering an application whitelisting initiative effectively and developing a training and implementation program are essential to success.

Give thought and time to the implementation. Listen to the recommendations of the product installation team.
