About

ThreatLocker is a Zero Trust Platform that prevents cyber threats by blocking unknown applications, enforcing least privilege, and controlling what can run across your environment. Using Allowlisting, Ringfencing, Network Control, and more, ThreatLocker stops ransomware, zero-day attacks, and unauthorized activity before execution, rather than relying on detection after the fact. Built for modern IT and cybersecurity teams, the platform delivers centralized visibility and policy management across endpoints, users, and applications. ThreatLocker reduces attack surface, limits lateral movement, and supports compliance with detailed audit logs. With fast deployment, a large built-in application library, and streamlined approvals, organizations can strengthen security while minimizing operational overhead and maintaining business continuity.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • I have it since the first release, great way to handle DNS queries and keep everything clear and secure, fast responses, easy management and plenty of options.
  • Simple setup Multiple deployment options Good prices Good blocking Intuitive layout Good support.
  • The layout is easy to navigate and configure. Advanced DNS settings are available but the interface isn't complicated. Service itself has been super fast and reliable. Support has been amazing. Very quick and knowledgeable. Provisioning scripts work great.
  • Easy deployment and set up. Fantastic, responsive customer service. Easy and intuitive admin portal and UI. Reasonable pricing.
  • -Easy to configure and set up -Works seamlessly with Apple iPad's -Accurate results (it does what it is supposed to at all times) -Fast DNS resolution -Very functional web interface -Lots of up-to-date supporting documentation -Packed with features and filter sets that just make sense (and actually work!) -Actively being developed, maintained, and supported -Support is fantastic and great customer service! -Fair pricing
  • This is a great tool for serverless environments that need DNS filtering. The entire team that we have worked with is always very responsive and it's a pleasure getting to know their product better.
  • Incredibly feature rich and powerful tool for a fraction of the cost of the competition. Great blocking features with regular updates meeting more and more needs monthly.
  • Best support you can find. These guys know their stuff. Easy to use. Easy to manage. Easy to deploy.
  • Been using the business beta for about 3 months now after being a user of the consumer service for 8 months. The service is very different from other DNS platforms I used before (Umbrella, dnsfilter) and there is a bit of a learning curve but after you "get it" there is no going back. DNS resolution is very fast I'm seeing about ~5ms and DNS-over-HTTPS3 is supported. I don't know any other DNS service that has this. Onboarding was very straight forward, we use Ninja and the provided tutorial was very useful. I onboarded 250 clients in a manner of minutes, seriously. We use this for malware blocking and some general content filtering and it does the job. No false positives so far.
  • This is a very highly customizable DNS platform, that is not overly complicated. Can block malware, trackers and even ads! Browsing with it enabled makes browsing the Internet a lot more palatable. Works on mobile without any software and the redirection feature is quite excellent as it eliminated the need for VPNs for our company. Router deployment was especially easy. We use Ubiqiti, and the process was copying a single command and running it in SSH on the router. A+

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Great for the protection it offers and provides great visibility and insight into what is permitted in our environment. Highly recommend for protecting your environment with multiple tools at your disposal.
  • - Ease of use - Great support. Never waiting more than a few minutes for live support - Great feature - Active development. Regular feature updates - Much better alternative to App Locker
  • ThreatLocker takes an effective zero trust approach to application and network access. Onboarding customers is very straight-forward thanks to learning mode, and approving items that were incorrectly denied access is very straight-forward. The Cyber Hero support team are very attentive in getting any issues resolved quickly.
  • Vendor Support is the best in the business! Features that it provides are incredibly easy to use and effective. Application Control is something all Cyber Security teams need to have in their Security Stacks and Provides so much control over what applications are allow into your environment Their EDR is incredibly Lightweight in comparison to some of its competitors.
  • We love the support team at ThreatLocker. They are concise and geared with answers to every question imaginable.
  • ThreatLocker is a very reliable product that our company has been using for quite some time. It has successfully caught numerous threats and prevented us from falling victim to various cyber attacks.
  • ThreatLocker impresses with its intuitive interface, catering well to both agents and end users alike. Deploying the solution across our environment was straightforward, ensuring security for our endpoints and servers. The product excels in providing robust security features and comprehensive control, making it a standout choice for implementing a zero-trust model. Support and account management are exemplary, consistently exceeding industry standards.
  • ThreatLocker is a beautiful product, the greatest ever seen. I am in awe of what they have managed to do with their product.
  • Does an extremely good job of preventing problematic applications from either taking over or accessing information they shouldn't. Ringfencing prevents applications that have no need for lateral movement from doing so. Adopting a zero-trust methodology fixes a major security flaw in that it prevents problems before they start, for the minor inconvenience of getting unknown things approved first. Automated privilege escalation is one of the best features; if a user is installing an app that requires admin privileges, you can approve automatic escalation for a period of time for that installer and no credentials are needed to be passed to the user.
  • The ease of use on implementation, and troubleshooting. Have more control over the environment without requiring a Team dedicated to reviewing logs and taking action.
