Featured Reviews

Alexander Zhuravel - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
George Tsepelis - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly stable and easy-to-deploy product that keeps organizations safe
The product keeps our company safe Recently, a user tried to open an unsafe link, and Malwarebytes stopped them. They kept trying and trying, but they could not open it. Later, it turned out to be a fake Microsoft account. So far, we have faced no issues with the product. It is doing what it…

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."
"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"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."
"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."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"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."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
 

Cons

"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"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."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"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."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
 

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."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"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."
"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."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"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."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."

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.
