World-class support and highly effective for application control and elevation
Their product is solid. I have a hard time complaining much about it because when we do find little things, they are usually interface-related or related to things that would be nice to have. Their idea portal, unlike so many other vendors we deal with, shows movement. At least four to eight features of ThreatLocker exist because I made a request in the last five years, and it became a feature of the actual product. When it comes to improvements, we moved the product as customers, and we got to move the product by making suggestions. They seem to be very reactive to it, so there is not a whole lot that they actively need to change right now. It is one of those situations where when we run into something that would be nice to have, it happens. They make it work.

Helps reduce access-related support tickets, is quick to deploy, and streamlines onboarding
We were able to add Twingate into our infrastructure without having to change our infrastructure or how people work. We reaped the benefits of Twingate immediately because it replaced an alternative solution with a lot of overhead. Twingate helped reduce access-related support tickets by 80 percent. Twingate streamlines onboarding for our company, especially for the engineering team, by automating resource access through directory integrations. New employees generally require no manual configuration within Twingate, saving us significant time and effort. The resiliency is directly proportional to the level of control we exert over its components. We can manage Twingate connectors to support high availability, ensuring the system is as reliable as needed. This flexibility and control enhance Twingate's resiliency capabilities significantly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall, I would rate ThreatLocker Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform a ten out of ten."
"Allowlisting, in general, is valuable because it allows us to have a lot more granular control over what is executed on a desktop. We are also able to ringfence known vectors of attack through Office applications, email, browsers, etc."
"The unified alerts are useful."
"It's easy to use in regards to reducing attack surfaces."
"Using ThreatLocker is effortless because I can access it from an app on my phone, so I can help clients after hours. My client had an issue while I was at dinner, and I didn't have a tech on the problem, but I could deal with it from my phone. I can see what the client is doing and approve or deny it. It helps me deliver better service to my clients when they need it."
"Unified Audit is excellent for identifying our denies and using those to dynamically create rules, as opposed to manually observing the logs and creating them. It saves so much time."
"The sandbox functionality is fantastic."
"ThreatLocker's most valuable feature is its scanning capability, which executes all types of executable files."
"I appreciate Twingate's developer-first approach, particularly its excellent developer tools for deployment and management."
 

Cons

"One of the things I would really like is the ability to create custom groups and assign machines to them."
"I have encountered some problems with stability, however, they are resolved quickly."
"The Cyber Hero certification exam could use a bit of love, but overall, I have been very satisfied with the platform."
"We use other vendors for other components. I'd like one vendor to control all aspects of the business, including backup, EDR solutions, email monitoring, and control, rather than using multiple vendors."
"The snapshots used in the ThreatLocker University portal are outdated snippets and have not been updated in conjunction with the portal itself."
"It is a little frustrating on my end since I like to go as quickly as I possibly can, and it slows me down."
"The user experience could be improved. Most complaints we get are based on users wanting certain functionality."
"From a reporting perspective, enhancing the ability to customize reports would be beneficial."
"Twingate's lack of native support for Windows Server is a significant limitation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not know about the licensing and price as it comes bundled from our MSP. However, it seems fairly reasonable for us, which is why we chose it."
"I find ThreatLocker's pricing to be reasonable for the services it provides."
"The price of ThreatLocker Allowlisting is reasonable in the market, but it is not fantastic."
"So far, it has been great. I have no complaints. Of course, everybody wishes it was cheaper."
"The pricing is pretty fair, considering other solutions. Licensing-wise, it did not take long."
"The pricing is reasonable and normal. I do not have any problems with the cost."
"Considering what this product does, ThreatLocker is very well-priced, if not too nicely priced for the customer."
"The pricing is fair and there is no hard sell."
"Twingate's pricing is fair."
