Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Provides protection against malware but needs improved billing transparency
I can only speak to it on a personal level. If someone is considering it, they should test it on their own systems. I can't personally recommend it because each person has their own needs. While it may work for me as a malware antivirus solution, I can't recommend it to someone else who may have a different system or use case. I rate the overall solution 7.5 out of 10. Malwarebytes protects me against malware. If they fix the pricing model so it's not automatically charging me, the rating could improve. Until then, I can't give it an 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CylancePROTECT is a fairly decent antivirus."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"The product provides notifications for suspicious events. We have several public access points. The product helps to prevent unauthorized entry. Its most valuable features are pre-installation procedures and a cloud console. The console's interface is simple and can be viewed easily to take action. It covers everything in terms of security threats."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"The most valuable feature is that it stops malware, which is important."
"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"Notifications are lacking."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"It is expensive."
"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."

Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience.

I really hate the automatic rebilling without officially confirming it with me. It's an annoyance and they should at least confirm with me, like a month before they bill me.
