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.

Effective threat predictions, simple to deploy, and light on resources
Malwarebytes's initial setup is simple. It is easy to deploy and configure the policies and the configuration. I deployed Malwarebytes for one customer and I did it in under two days. They had approximately 50 users, it took approximately an hour. The steps I took for the implementation were downloading the Malwarebytes management console from the site, installing it, then running the discovery tool, scanning my network, and checking all of the PCs on my network. It's already pre-configured, you don't need to configure anything. The only configuration that I did on the administration console was some of the exclusion from the scan. This is the only rule that I have created. I rate the initial setup of Malwarebytes a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."
"It is a stable solution."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"The most valuable feature is that it stops malware, which is important."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
 

Cons

"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"The solution’s user interface should be made 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."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"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."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
"Notifications are lacking."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"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 believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"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 platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."

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.
