A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system
The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

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 is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"It is a stable solution."
"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"I like the solution's ability to detect potentially unwanted programs. For some reason, it seems superior to other solutions, or at least in comparison to McAfee."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
 

Cons

"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"The EPP solution lacks the sophisticated artificial intelligence required for automating reports and letting you know about things in real-time. It stops a suspicious activity in real-time, but it doesn't let you know in real-time. You have to look at a report, and then you find out that something is wrong. You have to manually kick off a scan. With the Advanced EDR solutions, Malwarebytes has the ability to alert you in real-time, but they still don't do automatic remediation or quarantining of devices. That is something that you still have to do manually. So, the endpoint protection piece, which is just like their basic endpoint protection, lacks AI. For the advanced detection and response piece, there is an add-on that comes with it, but it still doesn't go far enough in terms of automatic remediation of viruses. It won't separate that virus from your network if something happens. You have to manually go there and do it."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"The product update capability needs to be improved."
"I really hate the automatic rebuilding without even asking. It's just an annoyance that they should at least ask me, like a month before they bill me."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"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."
"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."

What do you like most about Malwarebytes?
Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Malwarebytes?
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.
What needs improvement with Malwarebytes?
It takes up too much space when it's trying to run in the background.
