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

"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"Being able to cloud manage it from just a cloud login is valuable. We can get to it from anywhere, which is really helpful. The fact that we can remediate from the cloud console is one of our favorite features."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is that I can use it wherever I want, be it at the office, at home, or even outside."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"I would like to see a little more detail in the log. So, when an event occurs, I'd like to know not just when it happened and on what device, but what activity was taking place on the machine at the time so that we can drill down. If we get a false positive, we have to do a lot of research and go back and forth with our end-users to know why it was a false positive. So, having a little more detail around detections and events would probably be my most asked feature."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"There is room for improvement in the way it is deployed, in terms of being able to distribute it. Right now we have to get our hands on a machine to deploy it. It would be nice if there was an easier system."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"It is expensive."
