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."
"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."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"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."
"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
 

Cons

"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 backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"The solution could be 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."
"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"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."
"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."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."
"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"It is expensive."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
