"The ease of deployment is valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the user-friendliness, the graphical interface, and the technical support. The interface is very nice and the customization is good."
"The most valuable aspect of Fortinet FortiNAC is the control it offers."
"This solution is very easy to implement and use. The interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are usability and security."
"It is a good product."
"When it works, it's great. It keeps things off the network which are supposed to be off the network."
"We use ThreatLocker's Allowlisting to whitelist specific applications and prevent unauthorized software from running."
"The interface is clean and well-organized, making it simple to navigate and find what we need."
"The biggest improvement has been knowing that something unauthorized isn't going to get installed on anyone’s machines."
"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."
"The sandbox functionality is fantastic."
"The most valuable feature is selective elevation, which allows elevating an individual process to admin privilege without granting admin privilege to that user, which has been by far the most useful feature outside of the overall solution itself."
"While it can be frustrating at times, we appreciate the low-level security provided by the application whitelist."
"The most valuable feature is probably the ability to block programs from running. ThreatLocker has some built-in features that make it super easy. You can also contact their support within the program. If you're having issues, you can click on that button and connect with someone in five to 10 seconds."
"Technical support could improve their response times."
"The training from Fortinet FortiNAC could improve. Fortinet has to plan for better training for its partners. Additionally, device management should have more integration with other devices, such as new and third-party devices."
"I think the network devices need to give more information."
"The training documentation needs to be more transparent."
"This solution could be more agile."
"I hope that Fortinet can add a feature with a remediation mechanism when you find a broken piece so that you can click on something and download the needed update or resolve the firewall issue more easily. Currently, we have to use an external remediation server to download updates."
"The automation in Fortinet FortiNAC could improve."
"Fortinet FortiNAC's device compatibility could be improved, particularly for VoIP devices."
"One area I see for improvement is in the visibility of support tickets within the ThreatLocker ticketing system."
"Adding applications to the allowlist can sometimes feel overwhelming."
"ThreatLocker Allowlisting needs to improve its user interface and overall workflow."
"Something we have come up against a couple of times is that we have two clients that are software developers. They create software that doesn't have digital signatures and that's not easy to categorize or whitelist with ThreatLocker. We have to go in and make custom rules to allow them to do their work and to be protected from malicious threats."
"If you have a thousand computers with ThreatLocker agents on them, when you approve or create a new policy saying that Adobe Reader that matches this hashtag and meets certain criteria is allowed to be installed, it applies at the top level or the organization level. It applies to every computer in the company. When you make that new policy and push it out and it goes out and updates all of the clients. Unfortunately, at this time, it does not look like they stagger the push-out."
"The reporting could be improved."
"ThreatLocker could offer more flexible training, like online or offline classes after hours. The fact that they even provide weekly training makes it seem silly to suggest, but some people can't do it during the day, so they want to train after work. They could also start a podcast about issues they see frequently and what requires attention. A podcast would be helpful to keep us all apprised about what's going on and/or offline training for those people who can't train during the week."
"The portal can be a little overwhelming at times from an administration point of view. It displays a lot of information, and it's all useful. However, sometimes there is too much on the screen to sift through, especially if you're trying to diagnose a client's problem with a piece of software. Maybe something has stopped working since they updated it, and we need to see if ThreatLocker is blocking a component of that software."
