ThreatLockerWebroot Endpoint Protection
Likelihood to Recommend
If you want to know what is running in your environment and what it is trying to access, you should be able to take preemptive measures to prevent and protect yourself from it. ThreatLocker is the system for you! It will replace almost any EDR requirement, although I recommend you partner it with Windows Defender.

The software tends to do a good job of basic protection but is not the best for larger clients and is not as powerful as some others offered on the market today. The support is not the best either, have had a hard time getting assistance in the past trying to resolve issues.

Pros
  • Application whitelisting.
  • Unified audits of everything network & application.
  • Clean and concise portal to manage the same.
  • Dynamic ability to allow users to request more apps.
  • Security and a sense of complete control.

  • Webroot Endpoint Protection works very well at blocking threats quickly and can undo changes if a file turns out to be harmful, which has helped us in the past.
  • It runs quietly in the background without slowing down endpoints, even during scans, which is great.
  • You can manage all your devices from one online dashboard, making it easy to set rules and see security alerts. One pane of glass is always great.

Cons
  • Unused polices are nearly impossible to navigate due to no sorts or filtering options.
  • Redundant polices are impossible to determine.
  • Cannot view literally all policies for one organization in one view/list. Instead of have to check policies per device, group, or all machines.

  • It was missing detections. We found a better product that detects more malware.
  • Deploying the endpoint agents was easy, but deploying Web Threat Shield was not and users could disable that functionality.
  • When you deactivated old endpoints, they were put in an "inactive" category. You could not then delete the "inactive" endpoints. For someone who likes to keep things clean, this was annoying.
  • I found the rollout of endpoint agent updates to be rather slow.

ThreaLocker has done its job and has prevented malware from executing. It has stopped an encryption process once already. It has kept a user from going to a bad website. He tried twice and was wondering why he was getting an error message from ThreatLocker and ESET both.

It has proven successful so far in our environment for controlling malware/virus outbreaks.

Usability
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.

It does what it needs to do but we have noticed that malware is sort of uncommon and we have started to switch to other solutions of combating malware and suspicious activity such as using products like ThreatLocker and Field Effect, combined with things like malware bytes to perform scans when needed.

Reliability and Availability
There is rarely ever an outage. I have seen slowness in ThreatLocker service. But that is very rare too!

Support Rating
You can email, call or do online chat with tech support. I love their online chat. They are quick and friendly. Also, if you need to show them something, you can give the chat technician permission from your Chat box to allow the tech access to your computer. They also can pull out your admin console on their side. They can look at your "Unified Audit" log and see the same thing that you can. They have a good KnowledgeBase that you can look for answers. They have what is called "ThreatLocker University" where you can go through tutorials and take tests.

Support has been reliable up to this point. A request can easily be generated via the console and support responding in a reasonable time. We have not had any major issues other than the basic agents not communicating with the console and the like.

I had some difficulties with remote users. I ended up needing to open a remote tech support session and finish the process. Other than a few speed bumps, I was impressed with the engineering of the install. Because of time differences, I was done installing in two days. The cost, per license, could be less.

Alternatives Considered
We chose Threatlocker because it is unique in that it specializes in a specific area, whereas other products offer a broader range of capabilities. It blocks software from running and provides us with all the necessary information for this purpose in an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI), which is all we need for our use case.

We would consider Webroot in the top 5 when you factor in ease of use, level of protection, and cost. Probably not as comprehensive as other end-point security solutions but the proper level of functionality and support for our needs. Question what impact the acquisition by OpenText is having on future development and support. OpenText also acquire Carbonite for back-up support.

Scalability
ThreatLocker is very easy to add new ThreatLocker agents on computers and servers. It is very easy to do. You can install an agent on a computer or server in about 2 minutes or less.

Return on Investment
  • Applications that are new to the environment can be blocked even if they are wanted. Which can cause strain on the environment if not properly tuned or prepped.
  • We have this deployed onto around 7700 endpoints at this moment with less than 0.01% of issues with the agent or its functionality being noted. It's incredibly stable and the Vendor support further helps if it does break, and they can usually fix it without 15 mins.
  • We have had this tool on customers, and it has single handedly stopped Ransomware attacks by itself when the customers previous EDR failed to catch threat actor attacks. I can remember 3 separate instances where someone did something to cause an attack and ThreatLocker brought it to a screeching halt due to the application control and built-in ringfencing it provides.

  • It saves us time and money in the fact that it runs and we never really have to worry about that part of IT. IT just runs
  • Being able to centrally manage the clients is another plus because of being able to reach it virtually anywhere.
  • Very simple quick installs. Gives us time to do other things.
