In a landscape crowded with cybersecurity solutions, ThreatDown has shown it stands out, by clinching multiple prestigious awards on G2 and earning top marks in rigorous AV Lab testing. This recognition underscores ThreatDown’s commitment to delivering robust, user-friendly endpoint protection and detection capabilities for businesses of all sizes. 

Dominating the G2 rankings across multiple categories 

ThreatDown has secured the #1 spot in a remarkable array of G2 categories, particularly shining in the small and medium business (SMB) and mid-market segments. Highlights include: 

• Grid Leader Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) outperforming all competitors
• #1 for SMB Index for Antivirus 

• #1 SMB Europe and EMEA regional grid reports for Antivirus 

• #1 for mid-market usability index for Endpoint Protection suites 

• #1 for SMB usability index for Antivirus 

• #1 for mid-market and SMB results index for Antivirus and Endpoint Protection suites 

• #1 for implementation and relationship indexes for Antivirus 

These results reflect not only ThreatDown’s technical excellence but also its ease of deployment and strong customer relationships, critical factors for businesses seeking reliable and manageable cybersecurity solutions. 

“As compared to others, it is super intuitive. It is not overstuffed, unlike its competitors. It is simple to install and use. I do not want to involve a consultant during deployment. It offers aggressive remediation.” – Customer review from softwarereviews.com

Gold Award winner in AV Lab’s comprehensive EP+EDR testing 

ThreatDown’s performance in the latest AV Lab evaluation further cements its position as a leader. This test is unique in that it evaluates the combined effectiveness of Endpoint Protection (EP) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities, simulating real-world attack scenarios more accurately than tests focusing solely on EDR. 

The test involved 12 unique attack vectors, assessing whether the product could detect and report attacks either by blocking them in real-time (RTP) or through telemetry visibility. ThreatDown achieved the highest level (Level 1: Attacks visibility in telemetry) earning the coveted GOLD AWARD for 2025 alongside two other vendors. 

What sets ThreatDown apart is its flawless visibility and reporting. While other competitors might have scored a perfect 12/12 detection rate as well, ThreatDown uniquely provided complete visibility of every attack within its console. This comprehensive telemetry is crucial for security teams to understand and respond to threats effectively. 

“Dynamic” stands for RTP blocks while “Active” translates to Telemetry. Products got credit when they detected the attack at either stage and reported it. 

Moreover, ThreatDown reported zero exfiltration events during the test, matching the best in class and outperforming others that experienced multiple data exfiltration incidents. This level of protection is vital in preventing data breaches and maintaining organizational security integrity. 

Ease of use praised by security experts 

In both the G2 and AV Labs reports, ThreatDown was praised for its intuitive interface and actionable telemetry. The tester working with AV Lab remarked: 

“I really like the information that ThreatDown collects from endpoints – the Flight Recorder is very intuitive and contains all the most important information to do recon. It is not overloaded with technical data, admin can find anything if he need.” 

ThreatDown’s balance between depth of information and usability is a rare combination that empowers administrators to quickly investigate and respond to threats without being overwhelmed by data noise. 

A real-world approach to endpoint security 

The testing methodology reflects real-world conditions by combining EP and EDR results, acknowledging that no single layer is perfect. Ideally, strong EP performance blocks many attacks outright, while EDR fills in the gaps by detecting those that slip through. This approach contrasts with some traditional tests that focus heavily on EDR alone, offering a more holistic and practical evaluation. 

“I love the patch management part, DNS filtering, app control, and many more exclusive features of Threatdown, which the competition doesn’t have. Similarly, I love the ease of use of the entire Threatdown Nebula console, as well as the ease of implementation and integration with many technologies. My frequency of use is daily, as I manage several consoles for our clients.” – A ThreatDown Nebula administrator posted on G2.com.

For businesses seeking a proven, award-winning endpoint security solution, ThreatDown’s latest achievements provide compelling evidence of its value and effectiveness.
