ThreatBlockr Just Works
What do you like best about the product?
Adding sites to our allow list is simple, taking only a minute or so, and the change takes effect immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to be able to add sites by domain name, rather than IP address, if I had to find a complaint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have staff located globally, so any extra layer of security that we can implement, especially ones that may prevent a ransomware infection, are extremly valuable.
ThreatBlockr is an extensible and easy to manage shun solution
What do you like best about the product?
ThreatBlockr supports integration with open source IP and domain block lists, but also supports premium feeds. This allows us to leverage integrations with other soltuions we are already using for other purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The blocking is IP based. For today's Internet, where a single IP my host 500 websites, or where CDNs means that IPs can change in an instant, this is a big weakness. But, due to how the technology works and how it fits into the network, it may be something that can never be "fixed".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A shun device sits at the edge of the network, outside the firewall. It should be efficient and fast. It should introduce minimal latency and barely be a "bump in the wire". ThreatBlockr blocks thousands fo threats a day with few false positives. It keeps traffic from ever reaching our firewall which increases its efficency. It is a vital part of our layered defenses.
Great attack surface reduction
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to configure, automatic updates. Geo and service blocking to significantly reduce load on edge devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Logs do need to be set up on a separate host. The rolling log is only a few hours long, so you will not be able to see much unless you export them somewhere else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Threatblocker significantly reduces the load on edge firewalls by geoblocking and allowing customized service profiles that only allow certain sources/IPs to hit your externally facing systems.
Self or guided managed security appliance that helps minimize logs
What do you like best about the product?
While your SIEM may alert you of threats, Threatblockr allows you to retrieve threat intel from TAXII/STIX feeds and blocks it. Most firewalls do not work with threat feeds unless they are URL-based. Threatblockr is one of the few devices that will pull in feeds so that you can block near real-time threats. They also include a premium threat feed from Webroot at no additional cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two managment interfaces, a local one and a cloud-based site. Initially, it gets a little confusing on which site handles configuration and interface changes. Reporting needs work. There isn't a way to run on-demand reports. You have to schedule reports in advance (monthly will run on the 1st of every month, weekly runs at midnight on Sunday, etc.) . Sometimes, you just want to run a report for a specified date range, which isn't currently possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Threatblockr can do what most firewalls can't, making your logs less noisy. In a nutshell, it saves time. In addition, it blocks traffic from your threat intel feeds, which is the best feature.
Keeps the bad guys out
What do you like best about the product?
Keeps the bad guys out. My weekly report from firewall has dropped from hundreds of attempts to none for outside the USA.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had to add some exceptions for sites hosted on AWS, etc where the IP would sometimes be outside the USA.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Support is great if you have questions when had sites people couldnt access. prevents access from outside USA.
Easy console management across many devices!
What do you like best about the product?
Reporting, ease of management and the protection provided.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly I Haven't experienced any dislikes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mailware and ransomware
Intuitive and powerful protection
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to deploy, manage and upgrade.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't seen any downsides. Every network needs technology like this to protect its assets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It decreases untrusted traffic to our network. It protects our systems from accessing compromised networks.
Very Intuitive and Complex.
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the intuitive GUI on the admin portal. It' simple in design but very complex as far as what you can do for the security of your network.
What do you dislike about the product?
The CSV upload could use some work. It was a little difficult to figure out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security is a big need for any company and its only going to get harder to keep things secure. ThreatBlockr helps ALOT with that.
A true firewall's firewall.
What do you like best about the product?
This product drops malicious traffic with great accuracy and allows the firewalls to spend more of their resources doing what they do best. It also does an excellent job allowing the devices at each endpoint to communicate with each other to protect all endpoints when the first sees something malicious. It also accepts live feeds from multiple sources of your choice to allow the system to make the best decisions on traffic flow. The support staff is superb!
What do you dislike about the product?
I only wish this technology were my own creation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This gives us the added layer of protection that we do not get otherwise. It allows us to use threat intelligence from excellent sources and they have been willing to work with us to inject our own threat feed from other sources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, this product will speak for itself once you have it implemented.
Operationalising Threat Intelligence at Scale

Simple to use, vendor-agnostic, and effective at reducing exposure against known sources of cyber attacks.
Elastic search.
It scales much better than its competitors.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Significant reduction in exposure against known sources of cyber attacks.
Results in less number of breaches while providing a greater level of visibility.
Business performance has increased due to less time required to investigate security events as they are now mostly blocked at the edge.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure you have a Syslog server or SIEM to send logs to from ThreatBlcokr so you can increase the visibility and help troubleshoot any traffic that is blocked as a result of policy or false positives.
