Overall Satisfaction with ThreatLocker

We use ThreatLocker setup to provide Application control, Storage control and Elevation Control. App control allows to prevent the execution of non-approved applications. Storage control provides the ability to require that only encrypted USB devices are used unless otherwise allowed. Elevation control lets us dictate which applications can be run as administrator meaning we no longer have to allow a given user to have local admin rights.

Pros

  • Application Control
  • Elevation Control
  • Storage Control

Cons

  • None
  • ThreatLocker has significantly increased our security posture by blocking execution of unwanted software.
  • Not having to make end users local admins limits an attackers ability to conduct malicious activity.
The console is very user friendly and is frequently updated based on user requests. It is well laid out and many of the areas allow the ability to pivot from one area to another without having navigate the entire menu tree. Much of what you do is to query activities on a given PC and the application allows you to save frequently run queries.
Prior to buying ThreatLocker, we evaluated Tanium's whitelisting module. We felt that ThreatLocker's method of baselining existing applications and comparing them to known IoC's made for an easier implementation. To be fair, this was solely based on demonstrations by each vendor and not by actual PoC's. The implementation for ThreatLocker went smoothly and we have very few issues with the product that require support intervention. When support is needed, it is readily available via chat.

Are you happy with ThreatLocker's feature set?

Yes

Did ThreatLocker live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of ThreatLocker go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy ThreatLocker again?

Yes

Prior to ThreatLocker, users would download and install just about any software they were able to access, despite policy. With ThreatLocker, any application that attempts to execute requires approval by a ThreatLocker admin. The use of Elevation control eliminated the need to allow users to be local administrators on their PC because they had an app that "had" to run as admin.
